Hippo Giant 400cc
I've always struggled from the tee - started off with a cheap MacGregor offset driver which was useless as I tend to hook rather than slice. Changed to Taylor Made Bubble Shaft for several years, but never felt confident with it and ended up using my 3-wood instead. Things eventually got so back that for a year or so I only ever used an iron from the tee. This year I purchased a new set of irons that made a big difference to myt game - go tme thinking that it might be my equipment that was letting me down after all. Tried various more expensive clubs, but hit this straighter, longer and more consistently than anything else. Very forgiving, so it can be hard to shape your shots, but if you're like me you will be grateful for that most of the time. Quality of finish leaves a little to be desired, and the stock shaft seems to chip very easily, but at this price I'm not complaining. In terms of performance it puts other much more expensive clubs to shame. Plus it makes an excellent noise! Customer Service Club was poorly packed and arrived with a small chip in the shaft. Unfortunately I put a bigger chip in the shaft before I got a chance to return it, so I just kept it and never got the chance to find out what Centregolf's customer service is like!!

Got the club as a gag gift for a buddy, but after testing it out on the range I decided to keep it. I went on to play a scrambel the weekend after I got it and won long drive (349 yrds wind a little behind me). Next weekend I took it out for the club championship and it was a night mare. I kept on slicing this club 3 fairways over. It a good club if you swing nice and smooth. However if you swing hard don't buy it!

I got this club replacing my Callaway Steelhead Plus. The club is long, but the ball flight is terrible. It produce a slice fade shot. I have to compensate for it so much by aiming left. I could not work this club to a draw at all, so Dogged left hole is impossible for me to play. Good club for its price though. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Callaway Steelhead plus |

An outstanding value, has the R flex graphite, but it scoped out to a stiff. Easy to hit, and very long. Do not waste $300-$500 on the Titleist, Taylor or Callaway, this is a hot stick!! Customer Service no need, but Play it again is really cheap on trade ins and does not do returns. Similar Products Used: All of 'em! P.S. the Goldwin XXL300 is also a VG value. |

Very straight and long! This club has changed the way I swing every club for the better. I have had the club for almost 3 months and have improved my average by 4 strokes. I am consistently 250+ and in the fareway with this club. I may have to get the rest of the set. Customer Service N/A Similar Products Used: Nothing |

Bought Giant with 45in stiff shaft. Could not square clubface. Hit everything high right. Cut shaft down to 44 1/2in. What a difference. Can now square clubface and the trajectory much better. Ball just jumps off the clubface. At least 8 to 12 yds longer than my 975D. Solid feel for a low priced club. |

Tried this 9.5 stiff and out of eight shots I failed to produce one decent dive. I went back to my 975D which is supposed to be a difficult driver and smacked every drive. I suppose you get what you pay for in both goods and service. Direct Golf refused to exchange the club as it had been 'used'. Beware Customer Service From Direct Golf V poor Similar Products Used: Titleist 975D, Warbird, Lynx, Mizuno C face, Cobra G Back |

Great inexpensive driver. I hit as long as ping tisi, taylor 360 and 320, callaway c4, and adams 363, all of which I have played and demoed the last 3 months. For 400 cc''s the club is light and doesn''t seem that big. I love the sound the ball makes coming off the face, sounds alot like an aluminum bat. I''m very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this driver if you like a light easy swinging club. My swing speed is between 90-95 mph and the stiff shaft with 10* of loft are a perfect match for me. Ball gets up easy and has a high trajectory which is what I wanted. very solid club. Customer Service have not used Similar Products Used: callaway, taylormade, ping,adams, just about everything out there I have tried. |
