Jeff,

I'd guess this question comes up quite a bit and I did a search and found nothing.

Looking at Hierko chipper heads of the 4 component heads 3 of them I wonder about the 2 way is definitely out because of the double face.

Are the:

Acer XK Chipper
Dynacraft Avatar Chipper
True Ace Chipper

USGA legal? As long as you put a round grip on them?

Thanks,
Scott

Scott:

The Dynacraft Avatar and the True Ace chippers are both non-conforming because the average groove depth exceeded the permissible 0.020". The XK Chipper has been at the USGA for a while, so we should be getting word shortly on its conformity. The grooves on the XK were designed to be within tolerance.

Jeff,

Any news from USGA on the XK chipper? And when will these be back in stock.

Thanks,
