Exactly! Lets see if I can say it without being misunderstood; the method of placing the golfers hands on the chipping club in a common putting grip - reverse overlap, is in my opinion a better way to grip for the chipping stroke. It was good enough for Nicklaus, and I think it's good enough for Tiger, and it's been good enough for me for many years. The method has been taught by among others, Phil Rodgers and Eddie Merrins for years. Looks to me as though I had it clear - ". . . use a putting grip", not a "putter grip"! Geez, I hope this doesn't become one of those "you said I said" discussions. We don't need more paralysis by analysis TFlan

Ciao, Marcello 2009/8/1 Tom Flanagan <[email protected]> We used to call them "jiggers" or "chippers". 7 or 8 iron length, 8 - 9 iron loft, wide sole, relatively heavy weights, sometimes with a putter grip. I have a couple of them in my pile of cast-offs. They even came double-faced - illegal but my father-in-law had one and used it to great effect. Every one I've seen was a "off-brand" from component catalogs. I assembled several over a fairly short period of time for some higher handicap guys who had troubles with the "flippy wrist syndrome". Use a putting grip around the green and "jigger" the ball up to the hole. They work.
