Earlier this week I was given the opportunity to review an interesting product called the Chicken Stick by Bad Chicken. This product is made to make your Wii sports experience, in particular golf, more realistic and enjoyable.
From the Company:
Features:
* Substantial weighted feel — when combined with the Nintendo Wii Motion Plus® and Controller, the Chicken Stick™ is weighted to feel like an actual golf club, further enhancing the player's golfing experience
* Golf Pride® grips — this top-selling grip has laid claim to more major wins than any other grip company
* True Temper® shafts — widely used by golf pros around the world, these steel shafts are the top-selling shafts in golf
My Chicken Stick arrived just the other day and I got right to testing. At first glance I thought the chicken stick was very light. For something that is supposed to feel like a golf club I thought it was going to come up short in that department. However, once I loaded in my Wii remote with Wii Motion Plus, the weight added up. When I started swinging it, it felt a lot more like a golf club than the original Wii remote did. I could actually play Tiger Woods while making a real golf swing! Now my only concern was if I could take a real swing without the Wii remote popping out and smashing in to my TV. So far that has not happened as the remote appears to be very secure in the Chicken Stick.
I have played a few rounds of golf so far with this product and intend to play many more over the next week. I will be updating this thread with some pictures and thoughts as the week goes on. If anyone has any questions they would like answered feel free to ask in the thread or send me a PM if you would like.
FINAL REVIEW IS ON PAGE 2 OF THIS THREAD
