Hippo Golf
Which set of golf clubs?

I have a set of 90's Lynx Parallax irons. I'm looking at 4 different sets.

Hippo XXL Hybrid Iron Golf Club Set (3-PW),

Nike Slingshot OSS Iron Set (4-AW)

Hippo XXL Combo Hybrid Iron Golf Setn (3-6 hybrid) 7-pw standard,

The Nike SQ Sumo Squared Hybrid iron set 4 high-MOI square head hybrids [4H, 5H, 6H & 7H] to replace hard-to-hit long irons.

I'm trying to improve my game.

Thanks for any and all help!
Are they that much beter than the Hippo full set of Hybrids?

Well, the Nike Sumo2 Hybrid Iron set is by far your best option of those 4 choices. You might get a little grief from your buddies having 4 hybrids in the bag but if you don't care go for it.

Personally I'd pick up a set of Mizuno MX 950's, you get the 3 & 4 hybrids and the rest of the set are sweet, forgiving, forged irons from the best iron maker in the biz.

Update: My wife had a set of Hippo Lady Magia hybrids and I'll tell you those club were complete junk. Personally to me HIppo is down there about the same caliber as Walmart specials. The have little to no resale value, as they are not sought after at all, unlike the Nike's which could easily be sold if necessary. The Sumo2 's are a far superior club to any Hippo. However, are you going to hit them any further even with senior flex? Maybe but I doubt your going to get the gains your hoping for.

As far as I'm concerned senior flex is strictly for older guys who have lost a lot of swing speed and stronger female golfers, thats it. You'd probably be better off sticking with regular flex shafts but getting a better set then those Lynx irons.

The distance your looking for is working out in the gym and increasing your flexibility.

Also remember that surfing around the Net, reading forums and such it seems like everyone hits the ball 310 yards thats just a bunch of BS. I'm at the range practically everyday and I rarely see anyone even getting it out there past 260 yards.

I sold an Callaway FT-I driver to a guy the other day, we met at the range so he could try it out. He told me he hit it 300 of course but when we got out there he was hitting like 230 at best. Everyone inflates their yardage 30-70 yards on the Internet.
