A "chipper" is an iron club designed primarily for use off the putting green, generally with a loft greater than ten degrees. As most players adopt a "putting stroke" when using a chipper, there can be a tendency to design the club as if it was a putter. To eliminate confusion, the Rules which apply to "chippers" include:
1. The shaft must be attached to the clubhead at the heel (Appendix II, 2c);
2. The grip must be circular in cross-section (Appendix II, 3(i)) and only one grip is permitted (Appendix II, 3(v));
3. The clubhead must be generally plain in shape (Appendix II, 4a) and have only one striking face (Appendix II, 4d); and
4. The face of the club must conform to specifications with regard to hardness, surface roughness, material and markings in the impact area (Appendix II, 5).

Don't see why it can't be used

Are you under 70? If so, it cannot be used by you!

I went in to a certain german retailer to do abit of grocery shopping a few months ago and came out with one of these !! Best €15 ever spent.

These delicate chips from around the green were weakest part of my game with fluffed or bladed shots all too common. Now I'm usually fairly confident of getting up and down from around the green.

These jiggers have in effect increased the size of the greens by about 3 yds all around !

So OP jig on !

Just be sure that it has only 1 striking face. Some Jiggers are made with a left and right striking face on them and these are an illegal club and can not be used in competition.
