Hippo Impact Plus SL Irons

Ideal Golf Clubs

Advantages: Cheap,easy to use and well made
Disadvantages: Not suited to all golfers. Not for the experts!

they wanted in the different clubs. If you pick up a set of Hippo Cavity backed irons such as the Plus Pro set I am reviewing, you will see the metal is thicker in certain places. This is to weight it correctly for playing your shots cleaner. For those that don?t know, the clubs can vary in angle and length to achieve different results and distances . The longest club and least angled face club is a 2 Iron and the shortest and most angled (lofted) club is a Sand Wedge. The clubs in between vary across a scale between the 2. This means a set of irons can go from 2 ? 9, then a Pitching Wedge and lastly a Sand Wedge. A 2 Iron hits it furthest and lowest. Built for distance. A Sand Wedge is built for getting you out of a bunker. It is made for height but very little distance. The weighting of the irons varies too. To get the most out ...

Review of Hippo Plus Pro Irons

Hippo UC500 Golf Clubs

Advantages: Easy to use, great sweet spot
Disadvantages: My playing partners call me Hippo

As a 27 handicapper, I bought these clubs new from the local shop. The only reason I bought them where due to these particular clubs being 1" oversize. The clubs came with a reputation of 'forgiveness' and forgive they do. The sweet spot is large, a hacker like me can usually hit a good enough shot with the occassional beauty. They always feel fantastic when hitting the sweet spot. For some reason, I'm able to get heaps of spin from these clubs using standard Wilson staff balls. I've hit hard Australian greens and have stopped them dead. These clubs give a great feel and inspire confidence at address. I've couple the clubs with Hippo Impact 10.5 driver and a lofty five wood. Being a 27, the above points are important. I've found that having full confidence in my clubs has improved my game allready and will continue to do so. ...

Review of Hippo Impact UC500 Iron

Wii Fit Plus a big improvement

Advantages: Good value for money, increased workout choices
Disadvantages: Limited target settings

After using the original Wii Fit game for about a year, I found the Wii Fit Plus to be a big improvement, and good value at only £20. It automatically transfers all your saved data from the Wii Fit so you don't have to start over. I found the major improvement to be the facility to program a workout, rather than just being able to do individual exercises as before - it means a much better workout overall as you don't have to keep stopping and selecting exercises. You can either select a preset workout from the menu or customise your own using your favourite bits. There are a number of new excercises present as well which I found great as I did start getting a bit bored with the limited selection on the original Wii Fit. The calories/target section is a bit of a let down, you can set a target for calories to burn each day but these are ...
