Pitching Niblick

Pitching Niblick

Pitching Niblick

A kind of golf club used before the 20th century, typically for chipping balls (Kelley, About.com). The pitching niblick was also called a jigger or a lofting iron. It was used in the same ways that a modern wedge is used, to send balls up and over an obstacle, but did not necessarily have the same features as a modern wedge. The pitching niblick had a short wooden shaft and may or may not have had the kind of loft associated with modern wedges. The loft on a particular club varied from one set of clubs to another in the time period when pitching niblicks were commonly used.
