chipping and putting

chipping
Is it alright to use a titliest 52 vokey design 200 to do Short Chip and Run shots?

What is the min and max range a 52 degree can go (for a normal strength person).

putting
what do you think of Yes C-groove putter, mallets, 2 ball and 3 ball putters. Which one suits which kindof players in general consideration?

No, the club will explode, and shower radioactive fragments all over downtown Biloxi.

I can throw mine about 50 yards on a good day. 35 yards if I've been drinking.

They're all really groovy in their own special way.

To the original post, after I stop laughing at Eracer.

I personally use a 54 for runners, and a 60 for fliers. Many use a 52 for bump and runs, its a good choice for that shot.

Minimum I can hit a wedge? I've actually made one go backwards a couple of feet. Don't ask. I'll just say it was a deep divot. Stock 52 for me when I carried one was 125 yards. Everyone is different.

I use Yes putter, and I love it. Great roll, but it takes a lot of forward press.

Been hitting the bottle a bit early today Eracer or are we seeing the after effects from last evening?

In reference to the original question:

Chipping can be done with a variety of clubs. I use a 52* wedge for chipping downhill or to fast greens. Uphill and slow greens I can go all the way to an 8 iron for chipping. Standard chipping club is my Ping Eye 2+ PW. I let the lie and the situation dictate which club I screw up the chip with.

The range of a 52* wedge is going to vary from person to person. I have bladed my 52* and gotten about 170 yards (including a helpful bounce of the roof of the house behind the green) with it and chunked it in the rough for a total of about 1 yard. With wedges, I normally do not take a full
swing so my max normal range with the 52* is around 100 yards with my normal wedge swing, but typical get about 80-90 yards on it with a little less of a back swing. Its more of a feel club for me.

IMHO, the Yes C-Grooves are the best of the putters you listed, but as Rock will eventually tell you, putters are very personal. What works for me may not work for you. The best way to find a putter is to go to your local golf shop (Golfsmith, Golf Galaxy, Edwin Watts, etc) and putt with every model they have available. One will eventually sing to you and you will buy it (along with several others if you get too addicted to this board )

Hope this helps,
ualtim

I just couldn't help myself. It was the first question that got me. I wanted to be a real smart-a$$ and say "you can use any club in your bag for that shot." But I was feeling gratuitous. I hope Atom didn't take offense at my pitiful attempt at humor.

We need more players from the other side of the world here.

So what did you do rather than sit in the 12th row for the NCAA's last night? I figured with your post you were still working on an all night bender.

atom: here are some more serious answers to your questions.

chipping can be done w/ any club in your bag. i have chipped w/ my 3i before. it depends how far the hole is and amount of roll:fly ratio.
just to give you a reference (and this is just a reference)
PW has roll:fly ratio of 1:1
meaning, your target is 10ft away from you, you land the ball 5 ft and it'll roll 5ft.
9i has ratio of 2:1
8i has ratio of 3:1
you get the idea. this is also given that the green is flat. on down hill chip, you obviously need weaker lofted clubs.

i generally chip w/ my 54* or PW (49*), but occasionally w/ 60*lob wedge on downhill chip.

i don't have 52*, but i guess 100yds long enough? i hit my PW about 120yds.


as far as the putting goes, many people in my league play 2ball mallet putters and had some sucess w/ it.

hope this help. if you still can't putt, try different ones. that goes for anything in your bag, and your bag too

Thanks guys, that was helpful.

I use to hit 75 yards only for my full swing 52. But recently i realized i have been shifting my weight "forward + up" that causes the ball to go very high but lands near.

Trying to rectify that to shifting weight "forward only". Guess beginners like me should learn to trust the loft of your club. Bad habit since i started a year ago.
