Review of Silver Ray Chipper CP-03
August 28, 2020
First impression is very positive. This is a heavy club. It weighs about the same as my [big name] mallet putter. Finish is almost as good at 1/3 the price. The pictures don't do it justice. Unlike some putter style chippers this has a very solid build, yet still gives good feedback. The hybrid-profile face, cavity back and a large sole produce shots that are much more consistent than any wedge I've ever used. Set up on the right big toe, give it a pendulum swing and the ball hops to where you pointed it. Getting it to stop will take some practice, definitely a bump & run club. I am still going to carry a lob wedge but this will save more strokes around the green than I ever gained from carrying an approach wedge.
Full disclosure-I am not a good golfer; that seems to be the point of this club.
Pros
- Unique design, does not look like a ground down putter.
- Consistent shots with a simple swing.
Cons
- No alignment lines on the sole. There are two white squares on the back of the face but they invisible at address.
