Doug,

VGG’s driver is used on The Champions Tour, and I can’t think of any aspect of The Vipper that isn’t compliant with the rules, but I can’t 100% confirm that it is tournament legal.

Best,

Matt

Jason,

I have not tested the PING Chipper.

Best,

Matt

Joe,

Thank you!
I got the best results from a slightly forward ball position, but I played around with a lot things.
Regarding the stroke, I went all the way to making full swings with The Vipper. It can feel a bit unusual, but it produced some really fun results.

Best,

Matt

I read the whole post, got a little excited about a chipper that allows full swings, went to the website to check pricing and as is too often the case, only available in RH. :(

I have used that club and found it very helpful around the greens. How does this club compare?

Also, do you play this club in middle of stance? As always, a good review!

Never bagged a specific chipping type of club before but this seems to offer multiple uses from short to near full swing. I just visited their web site and the price is extremely friendly. Great review, Matt!

I impulse bought a PING Chipper last year. While I liked it….it was hard to decide “what comes out of the bag”? I do think these types of clubs may be easier to hit through a stretch of tightly mowed bent or bermuda grass around a green than a hybrid — even though there are plenty of teaching pros showing us how easy using a hybrid is from off the green. Hmm, really? Anyhow, good food for thought as always on this site!

If it’s closer, it’s difficult to get the call close. I’d rather use different clubs and be consistently closer to the hole – one putt.
