are chippers legal in golf?
<answer> Yes,your chipper must be single-faced and feature a cylindrical grip rather than a grip with a flat end like a putter. <context> A chipper is a golf club that combines a putter with a wedge. Most chippers feature around a 30-degree loft, which is ideal for shots that are a bit too long for a putter but also a bit too short for a wedge. While chippers are legal for tournament play, your chipper must be single-faced and feature a cylindrical grip rather than a grip with a flat end like a putter. The chipper tends to be easier than a wedge for novice golfers, so is ideal for teaching golf fundamentals before a golfer masters every type of club.
