Normal ol' got a little green to work with, carry 6-10 ft of fringe chip shot.

I use my Cleveland rust 56 degree prolly about 90 percent of the time. It's a clutch club for me.
And if i want it to run a little farther, I'll use my 50 degree wedge, Cleveland as well.

60 degree, always


This, although I probably shouldn't. I do like knowing what the ball will do everytime. I don't have time to practice around the greens will all my other irons, so I will likely always use my 60.

As with every shot in golf, depends.

Anything from putter to hybrid. Depends on the grain, slope, type of grass, fringe, distance from green, wind, wetness, etc.

I chip with my 60*. I'm analysing my game at work this morning and I decided my chipping is one area where I could pick up a stroke or 4. I might start chippin w/ my 56 and see what happens.

Yea, I know there are a lot of factors to consider. But there is one club you grab more than others for a standard chip shot.

Yeah, a great shot off the tee, followed by a botched approach, and you better be chipping it tight or you're gonna + strokes.

I like chipping. Hell, I like everything.

Honestly, no. It's pretty spread out. But that's just for chips. Move it out further, I'd probably say my 57*.

Usually the 60* Vokey, unless I have a lot of green in front of me, then I'll use the 56*.

I know the "experts" always advocate getting the ball rolling asap, but I like to get the ball in the air and land softly close to the hole. It's more predictable.

I love the short game.... I could practice chips, pitches, and greenside bunker shots all day.

At this time of year I don't chip. I putt. The ground around the green has no fluffy grass till April. I putt from 30 yards away with Texas Chipper, a putter with a 2 iron angle.

After March when there is grass I chip with a 7 iron. If the pin placement is near the front of the green I use a 9.

I like to use my 56* unless there is a large ridge or elevation and then I'll use the 60*. I also like to play a bump and run 9 iron if it's pretty flat.
