Key Specifications

Description (with Review Insights)

The Square Strike Chipper remains one of golf’s most iconic training/low-loft clubs, made famous through decades of infomercials and its role in teaching golfers to stabilize lower body and improve chipping technique. Its enduring reputation is reinforced by thousands of reviews and testimonies:

• Many golfers describe the Square Strike as a mechanical aid: the blade + cavity design forces a pendulum-like stroke, reducing wrist breakdown and promoting cleaner contact.

• In user forums and amateur reviews, it’s often credited with improving stroke consistency, especially for those struggling with chip-and-run shots.

• Despite its niche purpose, reviewers praise the feel and forgiveness for a chipper — the cavity design helps reduce mis-hits compared to traditional scoring clubs when faced with delicate chips.

• Because of its wide publicity (from late-night ads through to pro shop demo counters), the Square Strike has a vintage and nostalgic appeal, amplifying customer interest among collectors and technique-minded players.

This particular chipper has the classic 45° lofted head, retains its original shaft and grip, and exhibits good playability with minimal cosmetic wear. It’s ideal as both a functional tool for improving short-game technique and a vintage piece for collectors or technique enthusiasts alike.

What Reviewers Say About the Square Strike

Plugged In Golf

• They expected harsh feel but were pleasantly surprised: “soft, pleasant feel and muted impact sound.”

• It works as advertised for many shots: wide sole and heavy toe weighting reduce fat or thin mishits, making the club “very hard to have a terrible miss.”

• Downsides: the Square Strike lacks versatility. It’s effective for low, running chip/putt hybrid shots, but not for high flop shots or finesse work.

Practical Golf

• A candid test of its infomercial claims: though skeptical, the tester admitted it “genuinely surprised me” in on-course trials.

• Performs well from many lies, but is limited to lower trajectory shots: you trade versatility (height/spin) for consistency on simpler chip shots.

Rick Shiels / Media Tests

• Rick Shiels’s video review showed it “did the job” in challenging chip scenarios—though with limitations in loft and shot shape scope.

• He notes the heavy head requires adjustment, but returns reward in consistency from tight lies and controlled chip shots.

Community / Forum Feedback (MyGolfSpy)

• On MyGolfSpy forums, some users argue it’s more versatile than a chipper: they hit 40–65 yd shots, punch shots, and chip from different lies.

Summary: Strengths, Weaknesses, Buyer Takeaways

Strengths

• Very forgiving on minor mishits thanks to toe weighting and wide sole design.

• Consistent low, running chip trajectory—ideal for players who chunk or skull wedges.

• Surprising feel and muted sound for a non-traditional design.

• Confidence builder for golfers frustrated by inconsistent short game.

Weaknesses / Trade-offs

• Limited shot repertoire: not useful for high flops, soft lob shots, or shots requiring spin/height.

• Heavy head can feel awkward to some users, especially when first adjusting.

• The lack of feedback (because of mass distribution) can make it hard to sense “good vs bad” strikes.
