With Callaway announcing the X-Act Tank Chipper this morning, ( which preview thread can be found here; http://www.thehackersparadise.com/forum/showthread.php?83933-Odyssey-X-Act-Tank-Chippers-Preview ), it got me thinking about this club and the stigma it carries with it.
When I first started, I had a cheap chipper that I found in my Dads bag, and I put it in mine, because why not make the game easier?
Over the years, chippers have evolved. We have seen Cleveland launch the Niblick which TONS of people gamed. Odyssey has had the Marxman out on shelves in the past. Cleveland came back with the Smart Sole wedges which takes a wedge and pairs it with the old style of chippers.
Having gamed each of these, I have always had success with them. I currently still came the Cleveland Smart Sole wedges and just find it a solid club for my bag. People often mock it, say it's a cheater club or whatever, but if the goal of the game is to put clubs in the bag that help you score better, what's the problem?
What are your thoughts on a chipper?
