Why Are Chippers Frowned Upon in Golf: Pros and Cons Explained

Struggling with your short game around the greens? You might’ve considered using a golf chipper. While chippers offer a great alternative to wedges or 9-irons, they’re often frowned upon by many golfers. But why is that?

Some golfers believe using a chipper shows a lack of skill in chipping. They argue that mastering wedges or irons is a more respectable approach.

However, if a chipper makes your game more enjoyable and effective, why not use it? After all, the ultimate goal is to get the ball on the green and rolling toward the hole, and a chipper can help you achieve that with minimal spin and low trajectory.
