Hippo Hex 2 Drivers

Hippo Hex 2 Drivers 

DESCRIPTION

The HEX2 featured a unique hexagonal shape that allows optimum weight distribution to reduce the effect of side spin and provide more energy transfer from club face to ball resulting in the straightest and longest driver ever designed. The aerodynamically shaped 460cc club head is designed to reduce drag on the backswing and generate higher head speed at impact.

i ordered the hippo hex 2 driver online.
when it came in the mail i unwrapped it and went straight out side. on the second ball i noticed there was a crack just to the right of the shaft on top. when i looked closer it was cracked on the back also.the first drive was awesome, just wish i could have got more than one out of it.

I usually shoot in the high 80's/low 90's. I am about 6'5 and have a very high swing speed, which causes me to slice a lot. Those days are well gone now that I got the Hex2. My score dropped by about 8 strokes with the help of this beauty, it is by far the most forgiving driver I have ever used. Some have said that the head cracks, but I don't care if it cracks every 6 months, I will go buy a new one every time!!

I purchased this club new from Rockbottom Golf at the Cleveland golf show in February...got a great deal on it..$50. I hit the range 2 times, played 4-5 rounds. Then on Sunday went to the range before my buddies got to the course and the head split! I love the club and it feels and looks awesome. There is no way on earth this club should have broke. I can only rate this club a 1 in terms of value and overall quality. Very poor craftsmanship.... Boy have I hit Rockbottom! I need to contact Rockbottom and Hippo. Any other thoughts

Good club. helped me hit much better, but mine also cracked around the one year mark. i dont play terribly much, so i would guess it happened around 20-25 rounds. however, i only spent $50, so it really was a decent deal.

I've playing the Hippo Hex 2 driver for a little over a year now. Think it is a great driver and have recommended it to others. It does pretty much what the reviews say it does. Unfortunately, the head split today. With only a little over a year's worth of use you wouldn't think that should happen. Is there a flaw or is this a known problem?

I got this club a few day ago and really love it. I bought the 12 degree R shaft. Very forgiving and more control... our course is still so wet with all the rain we have had it is hard to tell whether I am getting more distance or not..BUT it much straighter and off center hits aren't bad either. I am 62 with a 17 handicap and have found this driver and it will be in my bag for a LONG time for sure. I also got the 6 wood to match and love that just as much.

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.

Haven't used.

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!
