Your question:
I bought this chipper figuring that i could stick a shaft into it as usually the case. Instead this club has a "post??" sticking out of it, not club not shown or mentioned on the sale page. I think the fit is unusual enough to warrant a mention. Please confirm that the shaft required will have to be placed over the "post" and glued on.
Their answer is:
Woinston,
The post is designed so you can install a 0.370" parallel tip steel putter or iron shaft over it. There are many putters with this same type of installation.
Winston: So....is a chipper a (kind of) putter?. if so, that may explain why you seem to have missed my point - no information on the post format ( i wouldn't know a 370" shaft off hand except realize it is wider than a tapered shaft) I cannot find one of your putters that do not suggest insertion, though there is at least one picture of the Chipper suggesting otherwise. But I am accustomed looking at key picture picture which suggests insertion (check it).Sstill, my point is to provide information explaining the post or a picture highlighting and make buyers better informed customers before they purchase. Thanks.

Winston,
The description how now been changed on the component pages. Our catalog has always said to use a 0.370" steel shaft. A chipper according to the USGA is considered an iron and the reason a putter grip cannot be used. There have been a handful of irons that have been over-the-hosel assemblies unlike the traditional in-socket. As far as putters with the same over-the-post assembly, look at the Dynacraft Hindsight, Acer SHM-2 and iBella Obsession putters our of our current line.

I'm interested in the Acer XK Chipper but before I buy it, is this club it's legal? It's approved by USGA?
Please let me know

Carlos,
It is on the conforming list, but let me explain why. This product was introduced prior to Jan. 1, 2010 when the groove rule went into effect. When we submitted it, it came back as conforming to the rules of golf. However, if you are an elite player using it in the Condition of Competition, there is a chance it would not comply with the new groove rule.
