Product Description

About HiPPO
The HiPPO golf brand was born out of Howson Sports, a UK based sports equipment manufacturer in 1989. It has grown rapidly to become the largest European-based brand in the golf industry. The original objective was to create a unique wood head design that would provide superior performance at excellent value to the golfer. A team of UK based professionals, including PGA European Tour Director and player DJ Russell, was recruited to thoroughly test prototypes. After a considerable length of time, a wood head was found that showed significantly improved results from all other prototypes and clubs from would-be competitors at the time.
The oversized forged 7075 metal woods have a high rebound face that has been engineered to deliver outstanding distance and forgiveness. The irons are manufactured with a hybrid combination of metals enhanced with titanium. Titanium enhancement provides additional strength and allows weight to be distributed to the perimeter of the club, making the irons extremely forgiving and provide extra distance.
This kit also includes a deluxe stand bag that features a six-way, graphite-friendly top with full-length dividers and three pockets to stash your balls, tees, gloves, and other important items for a day on the course. A full-length clothing pocket is also included to store your extra jacket or rainwear. For your comfort and support, the bag features a deluxe lumbar/hip pad while an umbrella hood, rain hood, and towel ring are provided for additional convenience. And, to finish it off, three matching graphite head covers are provided to keep your woods protected.

you can do better,
This review is from: HiPPO X-P2 Complete Golf Kit (Men's, Right-Handed, All Graphite Shafts, Standard Flex) (Sports)
I am writing this as a review of Hippo clubs in general. I purchased a simmilar set from Amazon a year ago because it was a $300 set or irons reduced to $100. I was interested in the graphite shafts (all I have ever used is steel) and wanted a cheap set to travel with (I have had 2 different sets of clubs lost during travel).
The first thing that I noticed with these clubs was my miss-hits rose dramatically. The clubs looked nice enough, but their performance was less than par. When I talked with my club pro, he said that the problem with buying graphite shafted clubs that are inexpensive like these Hippos is that the shafts are cheap not consistant. Your average pro plays with graphite shafts that cost up to $80 each. He also indicated to me that high handicappers tend to buy cheap clubs (which was a humbling fact that I had to swallow), and that high handicappers tend to play better with steel shafts. All of this being said, I chalked up my $100 mistake and began looking locally at all of the golf shops for high-quality pre-owned clubs. After 2 weeks, I found a hardly used set of '04 Big Berthas for $359. I talked the salesman down to $299 and walked out with the best set of clubs that I have ever hit. I guess my point is that if you are looking at these clubs, you are either a new or relatively unskilled player-- like me. If this is the case, take some time and search out high-quality pre-owned or used equipment that will make your learning curve my shorter. Let the golfers that get new clubs every two years spend $600-$1000 for new sets. Take advantage of their trade-ins. That's my opinion anyway.

There's been better,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: HiPPO X-P2 Complete Golf Kit (Men's, Right-Handed, All Graphite Shafts, Standard Flex) (Sports)
This club set, although the most popular on Amazon, is definetly NOT the best out there. Allow me to run through all the elements.
The bag - 4 stars - The bag I got was NOT the bag in the picture here. It is smaller and has less room, but it is still a relativly high quality bag. It is outfitted with comfortable back straps and an adequate amount of pockets for balls, tees, and other golf things. RECCOMENDATION - KEEP IT Now to review the clubs Putter - 3 stars - This putter is alright. I guess you couldn't expect better for one that came in a box set. The grip is a bit uncomfortable, and occasionally this hindered my shots. The putter, in my opinion, does not have a very good feel, but it will suffice for those who aren't too picky. RECCOMENDATION - FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THEIR GAME, GET A NEW PUTTER. Irons - 3 stars - Definetly the strongest element of this set, you get a 3-9 iron plus a PW, all of which function very well. I suppose my only complaint would be that the clubs, once again, don't have a very good feel to them. RECCOMENDATION - IF YOU WANT A PREMIUM SET OF IRONS, DO NOT BOTHER INVESTING IN THIS SET. BUT IF YOU WANT AN ADEQUETE SET OF IRONS FOR A VALUE PRICE, YOU MAY WANT TO CONSIDER THIS SET. Woods - ? stars - Sorry, but I have not played on these woods since I got this set. However, they will most likely have the same flaw as the driver, which you can see in the driver review. Driver - 1.5 stars - The driver (and most likely the woods in this set) are the worst element of this set. Actually, the driver was pretty good (for the price) until... I was at the driving range, and I took a swing and (yes, I'm a pretty bad golfer) hit the top of the head on the ball. I then saw that there was a HUGE dent on the driver, and the face was partially dislodged from the head in some spots. Now suspicious, I went home and decided to run a test on the driver. When I pressedmy finger on the top of the head, the top of the head, obviously made out of thin metal, slightly caved in. I wasn't even pressing overly hard, and it DENTED FROM MY FINGER. RECCOMENDATION - FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR A PREMIUM WOODS SET, RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY! BUY SOMETHING ELSE. BUT IF YOU HAVE A NARROW BUDGET AND DON'T HAVE A RISK OF DENTING THE HEAD, YOU MAY WANT TO BUY THIS SET. OVERALL RECCOMENDATION - FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR QUALITY, OR THOSE AT AN INTERMEDIATE LEVEL, THIS SET MAY HINDER IF NOT WORSEN YOUR PLAY. IF YOU'RE AN EXPERIENCED PLAYER, THEN FORGET ABOUT IT. BUT IF YOU'RE A BEGINNER/FIRST-TIMER LOOKING FOR YOUR FIRST SET, OR HAVE A NARROW BUDGET, THIS MAY BE A GOOD CHOICE FOR YOU. JUST KNOW THAT THIS SET MAY NOT HAVE QUALITY COMPARED TO NAME-BRAND CLUBS OR SETS. IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY, YOU SHOULD REALLY INVEST IN A HIGH QUALITY SET.

Excellent value for average player,
This review is from: HiPPO X-P2 Complete Golf Kit (Men's, Right-Handed, All Graphite Shafts, Standard Flex) (Sports)
I have used these clubs for numerous visits to the driving range and many games on local courses. I have had no problems whatever and am very happy with them; they are a pleasure to use. They may not be good enough for top players; I am certainly not one, but I believe they are outstanding value for money for the beginner and intermediate player. I find it hard to believe the guy who says his driver head broke after ten shots - he is so vitriolic I wonder if he works for a rival company.
