VISTA, CA. – Jan. 17, 2005 – HiPPO Golf Company USA has announced that it has added the 460cc ITX² Driver and ITX² Fairway Woods to its line of quality performance products. The new clubs will begin shipping in early February.

“Our new ITX² Driver and Fairway Woods are designed for optimum performance as demanded by Hippo staff player, Ian Woosnam,” said David Dixon, CEO of HiPPO Golf Company, Inc. “And we’ve been able to keep them affordably priced, which makes these clubs an exceptional value for golfers of all levels.”

Integrated Technology (ITX) and maximum performance are what the 460CC ITX² Driver and ITX² Fairway Woods are all about. By combining a carbon graphite crown with a forged titanium face and sole in the driver and a merging steel face and sole in the fairway woods, HiPPO has created the best performance product in golf today.

The patented construction of the 460cc ITX² Driver, with expansion carbon rails underneath the crown, channels impact energy to the forged Beta Titanium face for explosive distance. The lightweight carbon body allows for 6 grams of weight to be centered low and at the back of the club head, creating an optimal launch angle for greater distance. The ITX² Driver conforms to USGA Rules.

The ITX² Fairway Woods join a super hard merging steel face and sole with an ultra light carbon composite crown to create the perfect weight distribution for easier long shots from the fairway, tee box or rough. Extra weight positioned low and in the back of the club head help get the ball up quickly. This combination makes these clubs extremely easy to hit for golfers of all levels.

The shaft of the ITX² is a state of the art W928 High Modulus graphite shaft that is lightweight, has low torque, and is designed specifically for the ITX² heads. These high performance shafts provide the perfect engine to produce the power and club head speed necessary to drive the ball longer and straighter.

The ITX² Drivers are available in firm and regular flex shafts in right-handed 9 and 10-degree lofts and in a left-handed 10-degree loft. The ITX² Fairway Woods (#3, #5, & #7) are available in firm and regular shafts in right-handed models only. The ITX² Drivers and Fairway Woods come standard with a HiPPO Ultra Soft wrap grip.

MSRP is $199 for the driver and $99 for the fairway woods.
