Guide Review - The Perfect Club

The Perfect Club is a tough name to live up to. Tougher still are the aims of the club: To produce a more consistently straight shot, with a higher ball flight but without giving up distance, so that the ball flies long, straight and high to land soft and stop. They were aiming high, eh? The Perfect Club is designed to be hit off the fairway, out of the rough, out of sand or any other bad lie - and also can be used to chip. The model tested featured a steel shaft and the club felt too heavy; graphite will be a more popular choice. A pro who helped test The Perfect Club hit 18 of 20 fairway bunker shots straight and long - not perfect, but pretty darn good. A very good club and one well worth trying out.
