We’d had pear-shaped drivers. We’ve just had square drivers. And now there’s one that’s… hexagonal!
This is HiPPO’s HEX2, said to be “the most innovative new driver design in the history of the company”.
It will be unveiled at the PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando this week, but it’s not know whether it will come to the UK.
HiPPO says: “The HEX2 features a unique hexagonal shape that allows optimum weight distribution to reduce the effect of side spin and provide more energy transfer from club face to ball resulting in the straightest and longest driver ever designed.
“The aerodynamically shaped 460cc club head is designed to reduce drag on the backswing and generate higher head speed at impact.
“HiPPO’s patented Integrated Technology marries ultra light woven carbon-fibre radius side rails to titanium crown and sole that is welded to the super hard forged Beta Ti face allowing the thinnest face possible for maximum COR and distance.
“Six grams of additional weight at the aft corners provide an extremely high Moment of Inertia (MOI) and help stabilize the club head on miss hits, ensuring straighter drives.”
The rrp in the States is $199. For more on this crazy club, see the April issue of Today’s Golfer – on sale February 28.
