‘I can’t chip, will a Square Strike save me?’ – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been discussing the Square Strike wedge. WRXer ‘DLow206’ is having major trouble with his chipping and kicks off the thread, saying
“I have become super yippie with chipping, so much so that I chip like someone who has never held a club in their life. Maybe I can turn around my chipping, but I need something that will be playable on the course until I figure it out because my chipping won’t improve overnight. Has anyone had success with a Square Strike?”
And our members have been sharing their experiences and views in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Fairway14: “Yes, absolutely Square Strike (or other very wide sole wedge design) will yield consistently better results than a traditional wedge or short iron. But, if your stroke is truly yippy, no club design can overcome that to produce a respectable shot result. Also, know that big name Tour pros such as Tom Watson and Vijay Singh have had chipping yips so bad they struggle to hit the green with a 10-foot chip shot, so please don’t feel too bad.”
- Davidv: “Square Strike use putting stroke good to go.”
- Billfitz: “The yips are a self-fulfilling prophecy. You stand over the shot, you worry that you can’t make it to the point that you only think about that and not the shot, and then, surprise, surprise, you don’t make it. The cure isn’t gear; the cure is confidence that only comes from practice.”
- Hickory4Ever: “Although I don’t use one, what is the harm in trying one?”
