What Is The Best Club For A Chip Shot?

Hey everyone. So here's another short article with the answer to one of your most frequently asked questions. What is the best club for a chip shot?

The best club for a chip shot is a sand wedge. With the sand wedge, you can manipulate the clubhead quite well to be able to vary the distance as well as the trajectory of your chip shot. With the sand wedge loft being around 56 degrees, you should have more control with this club in your hand than any other in the bag.

In addition, it makes sense to use a sand wedge because of the spin the club has. Plus the bounce of the sand wedge is usually thicker than with a lob wedge or gap wedge, so it makes it a lot easier to have a good and clean contact.

The best chip shots are those that you truly feel that you can place on the green within inches of your landing spot. The great players are reading greens and planning for their chip shots to go in, and the sand wedge is a perfect club to do that with.

If we're talking about a bump & run, the best club for a low chip shot that rolls towards the hole is in my opinion a 9i, but this really depends on how much roll you want.
