Golf Jiggers & Texas Wedges Ireland – Chippers for Around the Green

Improve your short game with a golf jigger at Gleeson Sport Scene, Limerick. Also known as a Texas wedge or chipper, a jigger is one of the most useful clubs a mid to high handicapper can add to their bag — making those tricky chip-and-run shots from just off the green far more consistent. Available in-store and online.

What Is a Golf Jigger?

A golf jigger (also called a chipper or Texas wedge) is a specialist short game club with a loft typically between 30–37 degrees — similar to a 7 or 8 iron — but with a putter-like design that allows you to use a putting stroke. This makes it much easier to chip consistently from just off the green, through the fringe, or from tight lies around the putting surface.

Who Should Use a Jigger?

• Mid to high handicappers — golfers who struggle with traditional chip shots using a wedge will find a jigger far more forgiving and consistent
• Beginners — a jigger simplifies the short game by allowing a familiar putting motion rather than a full chipping technique
• Senior golfers — the putter-style grip and swing reduces the complexity of short game shots for older players

Jigger vs. Wedge – Which Should I Use?

A wedge offers more versatility for a wider range of short game shots including bunker play, flop shots, and high-spinning approaches. A jigger is specifically designed for chip-and-run shots from just off the green and is much easier to use consistently for recreational golfers. Many club golfers carry both.
