The Perfect Accuracy
Andrew Penner

The deep, every-word-counts, baritone voice. The big brown bulgy eyes. The way he stood up to Arnold Palmer in that famous interview. There’s something compelling about Peter Kessler. When he speaks, people listen. No doubt you’ve seen Kessler croon on about the merits of his “Perfect Club” - an easy-to-hit weapon (to replace your 3 and 4 irons). That infomercial was aired more than 643,255 times (just a guess) on The Golf Channel.

Now he – and the rest of the bass section from The Perfect Club – has done it again with The Perfect Accuracy. In short, the Perfect Accuracy is the Perfect Club’s little brother. It replaces your five and six irons (the Perfect Club was the replacement for your three and four irons). At 38 ½ inches and 24 degrees of loft, you’re not going to hit it to the moon with The Perfect Accuracy. However, as the club’s name implies, you’ll keep it on the planet.

I recently flipped this stick in my bag for a test run. A few things about The Perfect Accuracy immediately jumped out at me. First of all, this club is short. Really short. When looking down at a “wood,” I’m used to wielding a stick with some length. Initially, this thing feels like a junior club. Secondly, there’s nothing fancy about its appearance or performance. How can there be? All it is is a pint-sized wood.

However, a closer examination and the picture gets brighter, especially if you struggle with the mid irons. For starters, the ease of ball flight that this club dutifully provides can be stroke-saving. The ultra-short shaft means one thing: more control. And I know a few of us that could handle additional “control” on the course.

However, I don’t think I’ll keep this mini-wood in my bag for long. Call it a case of too much manliness, but I also like to keep the ball down in the wind, or try working it from right to left in certain situations, both of which I found difficult to do with the Perfect Accuracy. In a nutshell, the Perfect Accuracy is a nice club for medium to high handicappers and players with slower swing speeds. Of course, those who relish keeping the ball on our globe might enjoy this little wand as well. www.theperfectclub.com. Club retails for $125.
