What club should I use for chipping?
For a basic chip, use a 52- to 56-degree wedge. Play the ball center, and get your weight forward so your left shoulder is over your left foot. Your trunk is the heaviest part of your body, so that’s what you should move forward, not the hips (above right).

Can I use a sand wedge on the fairway?
The typical sand wedge is lofted about 56 degrees, so it may be useful for playing short, high pitch shots. The club’s bounce plate makes it a poor choice on hard ground, so make sure the turf is reasonably soft before using your sand wedge from the fairway.
