The Longridge 1.5 Ball Chipper is an expertly crafted short-game specialist designed to take the stress out of tricky chip-and-run shots around the green. Built from soft alloy and loaded with alignment and sole technology, it gives any golfer — from beginner to seasoned player — a reliable, confidence-inspiring alternative to a conventional wedge. Whether you are chipping from the fringe or navigating tight lies just off the putting surface, this chipper is engineered to make clean, consistent contact and get the ball rolling smoothly towards the hole.
The standout feature of this chipper is its one-and-a-half disc alignment aid, a unique visual guide that makes it dramatically easier to set up correctly every time. By referencing the distinctive 1.5-ball-width marker on the head, you can instantly see whether the face is square to your intended target line. This takes the guesswork out of alignment — a factor that causes many golfers to mishit chip shots unnecessarily. The result is increased confidence at address and more accurate, repeatable chip shots that start on the line you have chosen.
The head of the Longridge 1.5 Ball Chipper is crafted from a carefully selected soft alloy that provides a noticeably responsive feel at impact. Softer head materials transmit more feedback through the shaft and into the hands, allowing you to sense exactly how well you have struck the ball. This heightened feedback loop helps golfers self-correct over time and develop a more reliable short-game touch. Combined with the visual alignment system, the soft alloy construction transforms chipping from a nervous guessing game into a controlled, skill-building experience.
Hollowback technology refers to the strategic removal of material from the rear of the clubhead, which redistributes weight to the perimeter and sole of the club. This lower and more peripheral weight placement lowers the centre of gravity, helping to get the ball airborne consistently even on chip shots struck slightly towards the toe or heel. The hollow back also contributes to a more pleasing, muted sound at impact and a softer sensation through the hands. For golfers who struggle with thinned or topped chip shots, the Hollowback design adds a welcome margin for error.
The offset hosel positions the leading edge slightly behind the shaft, giving your hands a natural head start ahead of the ball at address. This promotes a downward strike, cleaner contact, and a squarer face angle through impact — all of which translate into straighter chip shots with better distance control. Complementing the offset is a wide, low-profile sole that distributes the club's weight across a larger footprint. The wide sole prevents the leading edge from digging into the turf and glides cleanly through various grass conditions, making this chipper versatile and forgiving from virtually any lie just off the putting surface.
