Hippo Hex 2 Driver

Summary:
Read about this driver in Golf magazine. They rated it second only to the Ping G10 in accuracy and distance. I bought one with 10 degree loft and regular shaft. All I can say is outstanding. Added 30-40 yards to my drives and all of them stay in play and most in the fairway. Incredible club and incredible value. Hit no hooks and errors result in only mild fade with little loss in distance. The looks of the club might bother some, but you'll get over it quickly when you see your drive long and straight down the middle.

Summary:
Well I took the plung, and spent a whole $130. (ebay) for a driver, ha! After reading Golf mag reviews I had to try this very inexpensive and accurate as well as long driver, and I have to say WOW!! My friends and all hit it and they were suprised, straight and as long if not longer! Much more accurate than my T/Made Burner Draw is, flies lower and the shaft (reg) isn't as whippy as the T/Made.
Upon close inspection the quality isn't to par w/ the high end clubs but you can't ignore results. This thing hits like a hammer and the shape does not bother me, it's kinda neat.
I tend to fade the ball, and the Hippo helps in reduceing the side spin, compared to the many other drivers I have owned, and the price, can't go wrong!

Summary:
Don't buy this club if you're looking to make a fashion statement. It's a Hippo after all so people will look down their nose at it. Until you hit it that is. Then their jaws may drop a little. I have played against players with the big name drivers and this is as long as any of them, for a lot less money.
The head shape is quirky but I like that. I find it less distracting to look down on than other square clubs like the Callaway FTi. It also makes a nicer sound. The hex does what I need of a driver, it flys straight and long.

Summary:
Purchased before Christmas and just now playing with better weather. I have found at my level it provides a nice fade which is good for me. I have been 250-270 a bit further than the Cleveland Launcher I was using. I paid $145 after a $25 discount. I'm adjusting to hitting a fade, and seeing and end to my slice. Very pleased with results for the money.
