Full review

For a man of my limited ability playing the game with a handicap of 24, Ping clubs would be a luxury but wasted money in my case.

I had never owned a rescue club or recovery club as these hybrids are more commonly known and my golf suffered whenever I found my ball in the semi rough or slightly off the fairway. No matter what club I used I could never get any distance out of the crap I was in.

I did eventually discuss the rescue clubs, as I prefer to call the hybrids, with fellows golfers at my club and found their advice very helpful. The majority agreed that buying the Ping, Taylor made, Callaway and other famous well used brands of the professional golfers would be a waste of money and to search for more reasonably priced hybrids.

With this advice I scoured both the internet and several golf shops before finally visiting American golf where I tried a number of the hybrids out in the store, all very reasonably priced before eventually deciding on the Golden Bear ( Jack Nicklaus brand ) accu force hybrid which equated to a 5 iron.

Since then I have discovered immense improvement in my game, hitting distance shots with loft not only from the rough or semi rough but also from the tee and fairway alike.

The cost????

Just a mere £29.99p.

An absolute bargain and a club I would recomend any beginner ofr high handicap golfer to go along to the store and try out for themselves, I am sure they will agree with me that it is a must have in the bag club.
