The Most Wanted Club Of 2024? The Ping ChipR

Have you ever found yourself in a position around the green where you’ve struggled to get the ball over that little bit of rough and onto the green? If so, you’re not alone. Many golfers have faced challenges when it comes to those tricky shots from about five or six yards. Double hits, duffs, and chips can be a nightmare for some. But fear not, because we might have a solution for you! Introducing the Ping ChipR Le. 

This is potentially going to be the most popular iron for 2024, and here’s the best part: this is the ladies version! The Ping ChipR Le Ladies is an unbelievable product designed specifically to address those struggles around the green.

With its lightweight design and graphite shaft, this club has the potential to transform your game if you find yourself struggling in this area.

 

The standard ChipR came out in the last couple of seasons and was incredibly popular, so it’s great to see a ladies specific version now!

Before we dig into the Ping ChipR, let’s quickly discuss the advantages of using a chipper over a traditional iron or wedge.

Personally, I have never been a fan of chippers, but I understand their appeal. If you struggle with chipping or tend to duff your shots around the green, a chipper might be the solution you’ve been looking for.

What sets a chipper apart is its design. You’ll notice that the shaft of a chipper is more vertical, similar to a putter. This setup allows you to get closer to the ball and make a simpler, more controlled swing. Using a chipper can boost your confidence and help you enjoy your golfing experience, especially if you typically find yourself frustrated by the rough.

Ping’s Approach: Helping Lady Golfers Enjoy the Game

Now, let’s talk about why Ping has released this new chipper and their approach to helping lady golfers enjoy the game even more. Ping has a history of producing fantastic ladies’ golf products, and this chipper is no exception. They understand the unique challenges that lady golfers face and strive to provide them with effective solutions.

The previous version of the chipper, aimed at men, had a few drawbacks. The steel shaft was heavy, the club was too long, and the swing weights were inconsistent. This made it difficult for lady golfers to fully benefit from the club without modifications. However, Ping has addressed these issues with the new ladies’ version.

The Ping ChipR Le Ladies now matches the Gle 3 range, offering lady golfers a great option to add to their bags.

With its improved design and specifications, this chipper is bound to be a popular choice in 2024.

Conclusion

Thank you for taking the time to read about the Ping ChipR Le and its potential impact on the golfing world. While this may not really be the most popular club of 2024, it’s always exciting to explore new products like this cheeky chipper from Ping. At our channel, we strive to review every single club on the market this year, including the unconventional ones.

If you’re someone who struggles with chipping or duffing around the green, don’t be afraid to consider adding a chipper to your bag.

The Ping ChipR Le Ladies offers a lightweight and well-designed option that can truly make a difference in your game.

Do You Offer Ladies Custom Club Fitting In Milton Keynes?

Ladies Golf At AFGolfStore

The answer is simple YES! We are proud to offer FREE ladies custom club fitting in Milton Keynes and our offering for ladies is such that it rivals the men’s selection. Often, lady golfers have been pigeon holed into having “ladies” golf clubs, without really knowing what that means.

Often they are some sort of pink or purple and are shorter and lightweight, which is great but not always necessary. As we see from the LPGA Tour driving stats lady golfers can be just as powerful as male golfers and our Trackman 4 technology has no gender bias.

When we custom fit a lady golfer it is the same as a man. We are looking at the key parameters such as club head speed, ball speed, launch angles and spin rates. At the end of the day our Trackman doesn’t know who is making contact with the ball it only knows what data is being delivered. If you have enough speed to move into men’s light flex or regular graphite or even steel then we won’t hesitate to fit your clubs to what is appropriate. Our aim is to make sure that you the lady golfer is happy with the purchase, can see the benefit in the outcome of the new equipment and enjoy using them.

Making sure that we get the correct length, swing weight, shaft, grip type and so on is vital in any custom fit but we want to reassure our lady golfers that you will be looked after by our PGA Professionals and expert fitters every step of the way.

We have all the leading brands for fitting:

  • Callaway
  • Ping
  • Mizuno
  • Titleist
  • Taylormade
  • Cobra

With some of these brands we are also able to put them through our EXPRESS BUILD service to allow you to get them on the golf course quicker. So if you’re looking to book a FREE club fitting then head over to our Milton Keynes page and book yourself a slot.
