    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. From the development of the original wood, HiPPO has continued to push the boundaries of technology with product development teams based both in the UK and US headquarters working continually on new ideas. The brand is now extended across a full range of equipment from award-winning irons to golf bags and accessories, all offering unbeatable performance at exceptional value.

    3.0 out of 5 stars decent wedge and decent price, April 11, 2008

    relatively inexpensive wedge, forged is a plus, and grip is decent. design is classic and sleek.

    grooves could have been cut better to get more grip on the ball. shaft seems not be true temper dynamic but a low budget version shaft, and shafts are very important in this game. but overall its playable.

    you can get very cheap wedges either making them yourself or taking golfsmith's club workshop where you get to learn and make a sand wedge yourself for 15 bucks and get to keep it at the end.

    I've been playing for about a year and have been using this club for quite some time. I don't have a point of comparison as it's the only 56 degree wedge I've ever played with, but I've found it to be easy to hit, pitch, and chip with so long as I'm swinging well. I do sometimes "blade" the ball with this club when I'm trying to swing it easy for a short pitch up onto the green, but that is probably more to do with my grip than anything else. I've been hitting this club well on all manner of "scoring" shots and have a lot of confidence with it, something that I can't say about nearly any other club in my bag.

    Out of the package I couldn't wait to start swinging this wedge. It has a great feel and the heavy head really drives through the ball. For a high handicapper I get great contact and it makes me look much better than I am.
