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.

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.

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…

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…

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:

To craft an all-purpose chipping and pitching club. One that…

• Provides deadly accuracy 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.

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:

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.

First, let’s dig into those details.

The Square Strike Wedge is engineered like a putter with upright lie angle, plus heavier weight. Versus a traditional, thin-faced wedge, the Square Strike Wedge promotes less rotation and a simple straight back and through motion.

The Square Strike Wedge’s performance-boosting specs:

• Loft: 45°, similar to a pitching wedge. That’s enough loft to tackle a variety of lies without popping the ball up and adding excess spin. Think of it as a happy medium between an 8-iron (about 34° loft) and a sand wedge (56°).
• Length: 35.5”, between a standard men’s putter and a pitching wedge. The SSW is a breeze to handle.
• Lie angle: 68º, identical to a standard putter and 6º more upright than a wedge. This puts you closer to the ball for a more comfortable setup – and supreme control.
• Head weight: 330 grams in line with most putters and about 30g heavier than a typical sand wedge. The purpose – to minimize your hand/wrist action while engaging the larger muscles of your arms and shoulders, a la the putting stroke.
• Grip: Round like the grip for an iron or wood, but 1” longer than standard. The extra inch gives you more room to grip down when needed, which makes the Square Strike Wedge incredibly versatile.

When I first tried the SSW, I was impressed with its ease of use and efficiency on basic chip shots. Not only is the stroke simpler than a normal chipping swing, it’s actually shorter – which means even fewer things can go wrong.

What really surprised me, though, was its versatility. The Square Strike Wedge is far from a one-trick pony.

Here’s sampling of the shots you can play with The Square Strike Wedge:

• Chip shots of all distances from the fringe, fairway (including tight and spongy lies) and light rough
• Pitches from 5 – 15 yards off the green from fairway or light rough
• Medium-height pitch shots of up to 40 – 50 yards from fairway or light rough
• Bump-and-run shots from fairway or closely-mowed hollows
• Medium to long shots from greenside bunkers

Yep, this technical marvel is an all-purpose problem-solver.

Comfortable.

Now there’s a word you don’t hear every day. At least, not on the golf course. Yet most of our testers used it to describe chipping with the Square Strike Wedge. As in, “It felt very comfortable in my hands,” per 16 handicapper Marcus Boray.

(And man, did it show. Using the SSW, Marcus hit five consecutive 100-foot shots within 8 feet of the flag – compared to just one with his own wedge. To prove it was no fluke, Marcus moved to our 45-foot chipping station and, with the Square Strike Wedge, holed his very first try.)

They used other adjectives, too.

 “Consistent.”  “Confidence-building.”  “Versatile.”  “Simple.”  “Easy.”

Yet our test golfers said it time and time again while using the Square Strike Wedge.

Set Up & Swing It Like Your Putter. If you can putt, you can save strokes fast with the all-new Square Strike Wedge.

We conducted the study on two separate days with two groups of golfers (20 in all). Their handicaps ranged from 5 to 20, with half the golfers at 16 or higher. Many of them – including several of the better players – rated the short game as their #1 bugaboo.

The experiment was straightforward. We set up a series of chip shots of varying distances and slope, played from fairway-height turf and light rough.

Each player started with the club he or she used most often for chipping, then switched to the Square Strike Wedge. For example, 14 handicapper Karleen Wooster used her gap wedge.

It didn’t go well.

“Oops,” she chuckled after blading her first try over the green.

“Oh, don’t count that one,” she pleaded after skulling another, followed by another ugly chip and a mildly disgusted, “Ugh.”

With her own wedge, Karleen’s eight attempts at four chipping stations finished a total distance of 297 feet away, or about 37 feet per chip – prime three-putt territory. Like I said, it didn’t go well.

Then we handed Karleen the Square Strike Wedge and gave her a brief tutorial on swinging it like a putter.

Karleen took to it like a duck to water.

…with 6 of 8 finishing inside 10 feet. Karleen’s average distance with the Square Strike Wedge: 9’4”, or 27 feet closer than with her own club.

Now that’s how you slash your scores.

As a 7 handicap, Tony Sodoro doesn’t have a lot of strokes to cut. And it’s not like his short game has been holding him back. Tony’s eight tries with his own wedge stopped an average of 13 feet away.

Not bad. But not nearly as good as his average with the Square Strike – a mere 6’6” from the pin.

Our very first tester, Boy Brainerd, set the tone for the day. The 14 handicapper showed off his solid chipping technique by knocking 4 of 8 within 8 feet using his own wedge. He beat that mark with the Square Strike, going 6 for 8 and averaging 5’6” closer.

Needless to say, Mr. Brainerd was sold.

“For me, the Square Strike wedge was the ultimate if you want to get it close to the pin, or in,” he said.

Straight Back & Straight Through Eliminates Chunked Chip. Hitting solid, square shots straight down your target line is effortless and easy.

For Juanita Rosenfeld, a solid 6.6 handicapper with a so-so short game, the Square Strike made “the nervies” vanish.

“My own club, oh boy, I can chunk that without being asked,” she said. “But this one, I can feel when I hold it, that’s not going to happen. And that’s a really good feeling.”

Bob Norquist is a 17 today, but he was once good enough to compete against the likes of Arnold Palmer and Cary Middlecoff in the PGA Tour’s Western Open. After trying the Square Strike Wedge, Bob professed no qualms about putting it in his bag.

“It allows you to be more confident in this one club,” he said, “because it’s so versatile and can do what other, maybe three or four clubs, would do for you.”

And you can be, too.

I want to stop for a moment and give you a chance to change your chipping fortunes right now.

I’m convinced the Square Strike Wedge will do exactly that.

If you like what you’ve seen, and love the idea of adding a club that:

• Allows you to play chips of all distances with your regular putting grip and stroke…
• Takes the guesswork (and uncertainty) out of tricky greenside shots…
• Is nearly impossible to hit fat from any lie in the fringe, fairway or rough…
• Forgives your miss-hits far better than any conventional wedge or short iron, and…
• Requires little if any practice to quickly cut strokes from your scores…

Then all you’ve got to do is:

Since you’re still here, I assume you’ve got a question or two about the Square Strike Wedge. Hey, there’s nothing wrong with being thorough.

We put together this section to fill in any blanks.

It’s as simple as chipping with the Square Strike Wedge.

Use it on the course, the practice green, the back yard, the “man cave” – wherever you want, whenever you’ve got the time.

If you don’t improve your short game and cut strokes from your scorecard, or if you’re unhappy with the Square Strike Wedge for any reason, just send it back, and we’ll refund your payment (minus shipping & handling) right away.

Now, about that purchase price…

If there’s anything more costly than chunking and skulling easy chips and pitches, it’s buying brand-name golf equipment.

I’m not just talking about the latest and greatest drivers, either. A new wedge can run you $150 or more.

To be sure, that pricey wedge will probably work like a charm from bunkers (provided you’re already a decent bunker player). It might make the ball dance with its cutting-edge grooves and impress your buddies with its custom-designed sole grind.

Unfortunately, it won’t help you convert the simplest shots into easy up-and-downs. Or eliminate those stroke-wasting fat and thin chips. And it definitely won’t bring the short game consistency your game is missing.

We’re confident you’ll only get those things from the Square Strike Wedge.

And you won’t pay 150 bucks for them either. In fact, because you got here for our limited-time, special introductory offer, you won’t even pay the regular price of $129.

If you act now – before our initial stock runs out – you’ll pay just $89 for the new Square Strike Wedge.

How great a deal is that? Well, I defy you to find another $89 investment that will do as much for your game. Hmmm…

What about an hour with a teaching pro? Sure, that could help. But real swing improvements usually require multiple lessons, and who-knows-how-much practice time, to really take hold. A clubfitting session? Always a good idea, though $89 will probably only cover fitting for a single club – a new driver, for example. Of course, the driver itself will run you another $400 or more.

New golf shoes? Golf-specific sunglasses? A pair of white golf pants like all the young tour studs wear? Hey, if you think high fashion is the path to lower scores, more power to ya.

• Removes confusing short game variables like club selection and swing length…
• Alleviates doubt and bolsters your confidence…
• Practically eliminates fat shots, thin shots and miles-wide miss-hits…
• Delivers dead-eye accuracy from all around the green, and…
• Makes every chip as simple as a straight-back, straight-through putting stroke…

There’s only one club that fits the description… only one place to get it… and only one thing easier than chipping with the Square Strike Wedge:

Saying YES to a better short game by grabbing this offer.

Just relax and make a putting stroke…

“(With a) traditional wedge, you kind of learn to bend down over the ball, maybe even choke up on the club. Then when you take it away, you’re trying to hinge it, and then release it at the right time. With the Square Strike, it’s simply looking at your line, deciding where you’re gonna hit it, understanding how hard you’re gonna hit it or how long the stroke is gonna be, and just relax and make a putting stroke.”

Frank Quinn | 5 handicap

Much more confidence…

“I’m really excited about this (Square Strike Wedge). I think I would be so much more confident, I wouldn’t even have to think of, ‘Oh my gosh it’s this kind of grass, do I use a fairway metal to run it, do I use a low lofted iron, do I flip it?’ Whereas this, you’d use it in a variety of needs all through the game. And that gives you confidence.”

Bob Norquist | 17 handicap

15 minutes to consistent chipping…

“The Square Strike felt really good and the club was very easy to use. The ball stayed online a lot better. It had great pace on it. I had a lot more confidence using that than the club I normally use for the last 5 years. It took less than 15 minutes to hit the Square Strike with the consistency that I had today.”

Darwin Bostic | 15 handicap

Takes the nerves out of chipping…

“Standing over my own 60-degree wedge, the nervous level is… about a 9. Am I going to chunk it, going to skull it, what’s it going to be right now? And then when I put (the Square Strike) in my hand, there was none of that. Very confident, very comfortable. And I don’t have to worry what’s going to happen.”

Juanita Rosenfeld | 6.6 handicap

Consistency without tons of practice…

“Way more consistency with the Square Strike. I was all over, quite literally, the putting surface with my 55-degree sand wedge. Very inconsistent. I don’t put in the practice time, so it’s really important that I’m using a club that’s going to help with my consistency each and every day I’m out there.”

Marcus Boray | 16 handicap

Almost instant results…

“I’m the old adage they used to say, ‘If you can putt it, (then) putt it’… because I would blade the ball every time if I try to chip it. When I went to the Square Strike, all of a sudden things smoothed out. I was more confident. That balance was just right. The face was lined up right, and everything felt comfortable like I’ve been using that club forever.”

Rick Drake | 18 handicap

Makes chipping so easy…

“I’ll watch some of the pros do their little lessons. They open the face of the wedge, and they pop it up, and they spin it. I’m never going to be able to do that, so this (Square Strike) just takes all that out of it. You can do more of a chip and let it run towards the hole.”

Bill Engelen | 18 handicap
