Finally, an ADULT accessory fo the Wii!

I recently purchased the Nerf Sports Pack for the Nintendo Wii to replace a set of hard-plastic sports attachments. Although designed for the small and the clumsy (hence the softness of the attachements), the Nerf accesories are great for adults.
Most hard-plastic sports attachements have small diameter and I found myself gripping them to maintain control. The fact that they are hard plastic made that hard grip uncomfortable to boot. The Nerf Wii remote sleeve has a bigger diameter that better fits an adult hand, requiring a lighter grip and a more comfortable playing experience. It is also padded so it it more comfortable to use for extended play.
It is also very difficult to insert/remove the Wii remote from most hard-plastic sports attachements. I sometimes thought I would damage the Wii remote. With the Nerf sleeve, inserting/removing the Wii remote is a breeze. In fact, the Nerf sleeve allows full access to all the Wii remote buttons and has s hollow end to allow the Wii remote to read the senore bar AND allows you to use the Wii strap through a hole in the bottom of the remote (most hard plastic sports attachments require you to remove the strap).
As a bonus, the attachments (golf club; tennis racket; baseball bat) all attach to the Wii remote sleeve and SURPRISE actually face the correct direction (most hard-plastic sports attachments do not and can ruin your experience). For my money, the golf club is the best, it face the correct direction and in conjuction with the sleeve, you can actually use two hands to swing like a real club. The baseball bat is great, it is hefty so it feels like you are swinging a real bat; and, like the golf club you can use two hands. The tennis racket if very good with the only complaint is that it is kinda floppy but once you get used to the action, it is a very good accessory.
The real saving grace to this set, however, is the steering wheel! Again, it is thicker than most hard-plastic driving wheels and of course is a Nerf product (SOFT) so long driving simulations are more comfortable than most driving wheels. The Wii remote slides in an out of the center of the wheel effortlessly and full access to all buttons/controls are available. Like the sleeve, that side of the driving wheel is hollow so the Wii remote can easily be read by the sensor bar.
Overall, If you are looking for a quality sports attachment set for both kids and adults, the nerf Sports Pack is, in my opinion, the best one on the market today.
