Benefits of technology

The present invention is a new golf club that improves consistency and reduces the chance of miss-hits. It is an iron on a long shaft, specifically a wedge iron with a high lie angle and a long grip. When used in a pendulum fashion with the grip against the golfer's body, it makes it easier to hit chip shots.

Problems solved by technology

In addition, golf courses vary in their levels of difficulty due to their layouts, including the grading of the land (e.g. hills), and the existence of various obstacles such as coarse grass, sand traps, lakes, trees, etc.
For chipping, one particular aspect of the chip shot difficult for golfers is the hand and wrist action.
Unfortunately, maintaining the proper form and the desired positioning to properly strike the ball has proven to be a difficult task for many golfers, especially novices at the sport.
