I used to chip with my most lofted clubs. 10+ years ago, before my first golf trip to Scotland, I thought I ought to learn a bump and run. For whatever reasons, I tried fo find the club in my set that would produce the best result using the closest thing to a putting stroke, more or less the same backswing and stroke I would use to putt from that distance. For me it was an 8 iron and it quickly became my go-to first option ever since. I use my sand and lob wedges when I have to, and other clubs as well. I know how to hit those shots, but the no wrist action, simple putting stroke is the easiest golf shot, almost anyone can do it, and it has served me well.
The single, most frequently noticed thing I see in the hackers I play with is them trying to hit chips with their most lofted clubs. It can be done, and well, I used to do it all the time. But that technique requires manipulating the clubhead, ball position, and so on, and regular practice and touch, something that old guys almost never do. My technique is based on on taking the simpest stroke required and seeing if it will work for that situation and the clubs in your bag. If not, hit that flop shot you haven’t practiced in awhile.
Last year I read something about the bounce of the club and ordered a 56 degree sand wedge with 14 degrees of bounce. I thought it would work for my course. It’s been fun playing with it, and mostly successful about when to use it, but I think most golfers don’t think about such things, and don’t care, so it’s my private experiment. I have some golf geeks around to bs about it, and that’s fun, but ultimately it all comes down to what works for you. Take the club, make the shot you feel gives you the best chance. Hitting your best shot, no matter how you arrived at that decision, is always best.
