Okay i know what your thinking about SLAZENGER but hear me out...
Okay working for JJB Golf department i allways find out the pro's and con's of clubs especially that of the K1 so here's the story.
First of all when we first got it in, as every other club, i tried it, sounded like a bloody cannon when i hit it, so i was thinking yeah this is nice, after the 5th ball SMASH, split the head in 3 places on the crown and a crack on the sole... Maybe not so good after all i thought.
Same day i ring head office to get the verdict about whether to send them back or what, apparently it was a faulty first batch, and i can confirm the 2nd batch dont break, and are brilliant clubs, anyway enough of that and onto the tech side.
The driver to my knowledge is a fairly new concept of driver, with the knife technology, blades on the sole and crown producing an aerodynamic system to reduce drag and turbulence and to maximise speed and power.
This is where the part of advertisment comes in about increased yardage, most people thought to be false, but with the head working like it does, and the ultra-light design of the club i can definatley see a difference when using it.
An added bonus again is the sound, it definatley turns heads down the driving range, it screams when you hit it on the sweet spot.
The ball you receive with the package some also critisise about its performance, i must admit i found the concept of it a bit odd at first but after perfecting it, i realise its a good value ball for the money.
As any golfer knows you get what you pay for when it comes to balls..some you pay £3 for a dozen and they crack by the time your on the green, and £30 for a dozen titleist balls which are a more durable ball.
The Slazenger Bald Eagle ball you receive with the package free, Spin or distance going by players personal prefferance, normally retail at £19.95 per dozen, and i must say they are a very durable ball with good playability which is consistant from drive to putt.
The ball itself has 6 bald patches on, which is where its name originates from. The whole idea of this is so that you can line the arrow on the ball up to the hole facing the bald patch to which the position of impact will be and playing it from there, the ball then wavers side to side keeping itself balanced, not moving more than 1 inch left or right whilst on route to the hole.
The Hybrid, is a very good club which normally retails at £69.
It is a nice feeling club which doesn't hesitate to send the ball over 200 yard's for myself anyway.
In all you get the K1 driver, K1 Hybrid, Bald eagle balls (spin or distance), and a £100 book of vouchers for £169.
This is my first review and im pretty rubbish at setting things out, so i hope you enjoy
