Hippo Steel Trolley

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

...from chipping. You also have the word HIPPO in similar styled recessed Black writing, just in case you forgot who made them! The shafts are made from the finest 17-4 true tempered steel and they really are built to last. No bends or chips here. Just pure strength and performance while still giving you a lightweight club to swing. You should not need to replace them and they come with a 3 year guarantee. For those of you that want something a little bit more whippy (shaft wise) they also make this model with Graphite Shafts. As for the bit you hold, the grips, these too match the great performance that the rest of the club gives you.

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.

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.... Read review

...a feel for a club that they like and feel comfortable with, as well as having the opportunity to hit a few balls into their indoor practice nets. Nevada Bobs was my choice to buy new clubs for the wee lass. ~ ~ Nevada Bobs had a good range, (they always do, and at the right price, but that’s another review) and the set we eventually plumped for was a full set of Hippo I.Q. (ladies) Hippo are an American golf club manufacturing company that first sprung into prominence when they signed up the big hitting American professional, John Daly, shortly after he won his first major championship (the USPGA) so spectacularly back in the early 1990’s. They would be better known to most golfers for their range of drivers, but they also manufacturer various sets of irons. The Hippo I.Q. range are at the budget end of the market... Read review
