I just don’t feel it’s that revolutionary that I’d give up a club for one.

They are fine. The big sole could be a confidence thing for some so it translates to performance starting out but long term advantage is questionable.

I have 10 clubs in my bag at present and am not willing to add a chipper.  It doesn't help that my putter is least favourite and worst club.  From just off the green I prefer something like a PW rather than a putter or even potentially a chipper.  I can control distance better with a short iron or wedge for most lenghts over 40 feet or so I reckon..

My thought - if you can chip with an 8 iron, you don't need a chipper club.

A chipper has a heavier head, a shorter shaft and a wider sole. I used to have one and it worked very well, better than an 8 iron, for me.
