So why not just drop to a 9 or 7i?Sort of makes sense, 'cept if you are a one club guy, hitting that for every shot. Sometimes it depends on confidence and practice. My worry is always about spin. I normally chip with my GW and if I want a runner I toe it in and take off the loft. It gets the same effect as dropping down to a 9 iron, 7 iron etc.
Interesting concept. I would hate to have to watch someone pace off every chip shot, though. Also, my landing zone changes depending on lots of factors so I don't think I would implement it, personally.

Is that you Trickyputt?Nope.
I always want to throw it up there with as much spin as possible, and one hop stop it.
Cuz that's what gets the chickies wet. All you noobs trying to score on the score card...
I didn't know the rule, but that is my technique. My 7i is my fav, but I use the 6 or even 5 if I need a lot of roll. I judge the club I use by just eyeballing the distance and slope. I ONLY use a wedge or 9i if I have to lob it over something. I roll the ball whenever I can.Anybody ever hear of the rule of 12?
Not being able to physically hit the ball in the air doesn't equate to knowing how to chip and run.I didn't know the rule, but that is my technique.

I forgot to add that I also use this shot from 200 yards out and from greenside sand bunkers. FORE!!Not being able to physically hit the ball in the air doesn't equate to knowing how to chip and run.
