Abstract: A chipping wedge is provided having a longer than usual shaft on the order of approximately 40 to 55 inches long and preferably about 47 inches so that the top of the shaft comes up to about the middle of the golfer's chest when addressing the ball. The shaft includes an upper handgrip at the top of the shaft and a lower handgrip intermediate the shaft at approximately the height where a hand grip would be on a typical chipping wedge. The bottom of the shaft is bent away from the golfer at about a 10-25° angle. A right-handed golfer holds the club with the upper portion of the shaft close to vertical while gripping the club with the left hand on the upper grip at the top of the club and held against the chest and the right hand on the lower grip in the normal position and swings the club in a pendulum type motion.
