"People think the size of the head is most important. Wrong. It's getting a quality shaft. test different shafts to see which goes the straightest. Also, more degrees of loft on the head is better than less. Eleven degrees is about right."

What I dont like about that is that doing that way could stiffen you up and it isnt a versatile setup. I like to be very loose with my chipping stroke. It feels like I almost rubber arm them. What he was talking about is basically a putting stroke with a lofted iron. My chipping stroke is basically a quarter version of my full swing, the differences being I choke the club to the end of the grip and i pivot around my left knee.

I would recommend buying "the art of the short game" by Stan Utley. Its the only golf instruction book I will absolutely swear by.

pelz's book is pretty good, too.
