The HiPPO 380-S drivers represent a significant development in metalwood technology. The level of innovation incorporated in these drivers results in performance that is unrivalled in terms of distance, forgiveness and accuracy. Developed in partnership between HiPPOsÕ European and Californian, award winning design teams the drivers utilise a series of system matched components available in a wide range of options to provide incredible power behind players at all standards of the game. John Daly, who has moved up over 400 places in the world rankings since joining HiPPO, was involved in the research programme heading up a team of golfers, both professionals and amateurs who extensively tested and reported on each prototype phase to ensure the demonstrable superiority of the finished products.
- Manufactured from 6-4 Titanium for superior strength and lightness the heads are of a three piece construction allowing for superior internal weight distribution.
- The 420-S driver offers the same unmatched performance as its 380-S stable mate but offers a larger effective hitting area making it the most forgiving driver ever to feature in the HiPPO line up.
- The CAD optimised centre of gravity is positioned low in the 380 to promote medium trajectory with added spin for a longer carry.
- The 420-S features a back weighted centre of gravity to get the ball up quickly for higher trajectory drives.
- The deep face design and power channel soleplates create excellent impact efficiency for penetrating, powerful drives. A controlled face thickness makes the clubface thicker in the centre and ultra thin around the edges for an increased C.O.R.
- A high coefficient of restitution (C.O.R) provides more efficient energy transfer to the ball during impact. This means that golfers of all ability levels and club head speeds can generate more ball speed for greater distance.
- Both the 380 and 420 feature system matched high modulus, low torque graphite shafts available in regular and firm flexes and are available in lofts 8, 9, 10 and 11 degree.
- Shaft specifications: Standard length 45.25Ó Weight 65g Torque 3.6 degree.
- Soft compound HiPPO Tour Grip provides superior traction.
