Golf Chippers and Their Characteristics

By Jeremy Winters


A lengthy drive gets the ball close to the golfer's ultimate goal, the hole. Even so, that drive doesn't consistently place the ball in the middle of the green. Often that small round object winds up on the green's border. If that happens the sharp golfer recognizes that the time has come to make use of one of his or her golf chippers.

A chipper was created for use on the edge of the putting green. At that location, the ball's position places it within some somewhat taller grass. Mainly because it has been weighted at the bottom, a chipper makes it possible for completion of the job that confronts either the professional or the amateur, the task of getting the ball into the air.

Alternatively a pitching wedge or possibly a sand wedge could also send the ball into the air. Nonetheless, they lack the additional features found in the best quality golf chippers. Their shaft is upright, so that the golfers holding them can get closer to the object that they want to strike. The golfer's position in relation to the ball in the grass assists to determine the accuracy of his or her shot.

A few additional characteristics help to ensure success during the process of chipping to the hole. One of those traits is a low center of gravity weight distribution. Another crucial feature relates to the use of lines on the club head. Those lines can aid the technique of lining up a shot. A third major attribute concerns the golf club's narrow hosel. The narrowness of this component counters the influence of any kind of twisting, which might be brought on by the surrounding grass. At the very same time, the golf club's offset structure keeps the golfer's hands in front of the small round object hidden in those green blades.

A few of the newest golf chippers offer a unique alignment system. In certain cases that system relies almost exclusively on the existence of 2 stripes. Other clubs have further alignment aids, which are either incorporated into or connected to the head or even the shaft. At times a turning mirror helps the job of lining up a chip shot. It allows the golfer to see the ball and the hole at the very same time. However, it doesn't stop the challenges caused by parallax.

Parallax is actually a natural tendency taken by the eyes, one that accounts for the creation of optical illusions. It will cause the eye to move off of the middle of the sight picture. The ideal chipper prevents the confusion caused by parallax. It helps completing a swing that puts the ball near the hole.
