Thanks to the New Square Strike Wedge, Getting Up-and-Down'liciously' Is as Simple as Using Your Putting #Stroke'liciously' Spicy'
Watch the video below to see the straight-back, straight-through solution to fat & thin chip shots… and all those wasted strokes. Test golfers felt “comfortable” and “confident” the very first time they tried the Square Strike Wedge. “It totally blows my mind how easy it is to use.” Rick Dake, 18 handicap I’m almost afraid to ask, but here goes: How’s your chipping? On a scale of 1 – 10: 8 - 10 … Excellent. I get up-and-down at least 50% of the time. 5 – 7 … Pretty good. But inconsistency is my downfall. 3 – 4 … Not so hot. I chunk, blade or flat-out miss-hit two or more shots each round. 0 – 2 … Let’s put it this way: I need both hands to count all my wasted strokes. If you answered 8+, you’re free to go. Shoot, you may want to give the Tour a try. If you rated your chipping in the 5 – 7 range, I advise you to stick around. What I’m about to show you could provide the consistency you crave – and push your short game to the next level. Which leaves those in the 3 – 4 and, gasp, 0 – 2 groups. You’re not asking for much, are you? You’d love to have the faintest clue around the greens. A smidgen of comfort and an ounce of confidence standing over the ball. Well, I’ve got good news: You’ve come to the right place. In fact, you’re gonna walk out of here with a lot more than the modest items on your wish list. For starters, you’ll be able to chip it stiff from anywhere. You’ll also be free from card-wrecking “two-chips” and other greenside blunders. And instead of fretting all the things that might go wrong, you’ll size up every pitch thinking, “I can hole this.” That’s a far cry from where you are now, right? If it makes you feel any better, you’ve got lots of company. Amateur golfers from here to Timbuktu struggle with this seemingly simple part of the game. Frankly, it’s always been a mystery to me. I mean, if anything in golf should be easy, it’s chipping. The setup is a cinch. You’re using a short club, usually one with lots of friendly loft. And for crying out loud, the pin is right there. Just get it close enough for a makeable putt and you’re a happy camper. Yet for whatever reason, chipping proves maddeningly difficult to a huge swath of golfers. Hi – I’m Andy North, two-time U.S. Open champion and a TV golf commentator since 1993. As a player, I competed against some genuine short game savants: guys like Tom Watson, Lee Trevino, Raymond Floyd and Seve Ballesteros. No doubt, they made chipping look easier than it really is. Amateurs, on the other hand, can make it seem harder than folding a fitted sheet. Not just beginners and high-handicappers, either. Andy North Andy North, two-time U.S. Open Champion & network golf analyst. Andy is a paid spokesman for the Square Strike Wedge. I’ve met many experienced players who say their handicap is an 8, but their “short game handicap” is an 18. You’ll meet some of them, too, in just a minute (and find out how they beat their lifelong chipping woes with one little change). OK, so we’ve established that your chipping is less than stellar. If I asked why, I bet you’d answer… My swing is too “handsy”. Or… I can’t get comfortable over the ball. Or… I’m often tentative, especially when I’m not sure I picked the right club. Or… Things go wrong when I open the clubface. Or… My swing is inconsistent from one chip to the next. Trust me, I’ve seen it all. Some fellows in the equipment business had, too. I’m not talking about some back-office bean counters here. These guys are… “Because the club's a little heavier, I think that's a real advantage. So, even the ones I didn't hit so good felt more square, more solid. Is this a legit club? Well, I think the answer to that is, ‘Yes.’” Chuck Durant | 7.1 handicap Top-tier club designers – Golf Digest “Hot List” medal winners, as a matter of fact. And they were just as baffled as you and me. Being hyper-curious, solution-driven engineers, they began exploring. Then one of them noticed the similarities between a proper chipping swing and a pendulum putting stroke and asked the others: When’s the last time you chunked a putt? … Skulled one clear off the green? … Missed your intended line by 10-plus feet? … Made contact an inch or more off the sweet spot? … Cold-shanked a 20-footer? His cohorts’ “you-must-be-joking” stares supplied the answers: “Never, never, never, never and never.” Which led to an obvious follow-up: Since there’s very little difference between the two motions… Why do you miss-hit so many chips while striking your putts so solidly? The answer came quickly: Because the putter is purpose-built to match the putting stroke, while the clubs used for chipping are made for other tasks – like full shots, high lobs and blasting out of bunkers. Makes sense, doesn’t it? Think about your putter: It’s comfortably short, with an upright lie angle that puts you almost directly over the ball and promotes a straight-back, straight-through stroke. There’s minimal arc on the takeaway or follow-through, and the clubhead barely leaves the ground. Less movement equals more control. Traditional Wedge vs. the all-new Square Strike Wedge. With the Square Strike Wedge, there's minimal arc on the takeaway or follow-through, and the clubhead barely leaves the ground, giving you more control and consistent contact. It’s also balanced for minimal face rotation, so there’s no dramatic opening and closing of the blade, while the head is weighted to engage the big muscles (arms and shoulders) and impede the small ones (hands and wrists). Bottom line – the putter is a perfect match for the putting stroke. Now contrast that with your chipping clubs, the wedges and short irons. They’re a little longer and lie substantially flatter than the putter, moving you farther from the ball. That forces you to swing on more of an arc, while the relatively light clubhead invites excessive wrist action. Together, these factors increase the odds of something going wrong. And when it does, your club’s slender sole and sharp leading edge won’t do a thing to help. Hit behind the ball and the club will dig; catch a fluffy lie and it will snag. Consider this, too: You putt with the same club, from the same lie, using the same stroke every time, eliminating the variables that make chipping so tricky (and your confidence so shaky). Once the design team had accounted for all these factors, their mission became crystal-clear: Their mission became crystal-clear… To craft an all-purpose chipping and pitching club. One that’s… That’s deadly accurate from a variety of lies… Virtually eliminates fat and thin shots and… Delivers superior results on miss-hits… Within 40 – 50 yards of the flag. And the kicker: It will work with a golfer’s regular putting grip and stroke – straight back, straight through. Some would call such a mission impossible. Not this bunch. It’s my pleasure to pronounce their mission accomplished. “I loved the fact that it was square and it took my wrists out of it. I don't think I could chunk this (wedge). I can't wait to put it in my bag.” Karleen Wooster | 13.8 handicap Square Strike Wedge Introducing: The Square Strike Wedge The Club that Makes Chipping as Easy as Straight Back, Straight Through & Straight at the Pin Square Strike Wedge Shaft Chipping, easy? Yep, easy. Like Sunday morning. All it took was a club specifically engineered for the purpose of chipping. (As a bonus, it’s also lethal on short pitches and even works for longer bunker shots.) In a moment, we’ll dive into the Square Strike Wedge’s many unique elements. I’ll explain how each feature functions and answer common questions about this amazing new weapon. But the one thing you really need to know is this: The Square Strike Wedge Will Greatly Improve Your Short Game – and Do It Almost Instantly Karleen Wooster can confirm. Tony Sodoro can, too. So can Boy Brainerd, Marcus Boray and the other amateur golfers who got to try the Square Strike Wedge before we deemed it ready for market. Their stories, stats and seeing-is-believing testimony are coming up. I’ll share their handicaps as well, just to show you this remarkable club can improve anyone’s game. https://www.squarestrikewedge.com/get/squarestrike/?utm_source=Taboola&utm_medium=CPC&utm_content=text-02-SSW-01-ccs&utm_campaign=SSW-Taboola-MSN-US
