Cleveland hi bore xls, Do you like it?

Question

do you like it or not, why

also i have been using the cobra driver from last year. are these similar in any way

Answer 1

i absolutely love the hibore series! better than any cobras!

the xls is a cracker, it flies miles and straight with a high ball flight, so i would recommend you go for 1 or 2 degrees lower than your usual drier loft, or go a flex stiffer on the shaft. The little alignment aids on the crown really do help aswell, and then you just have to choose between gold and red shaft

gold- better distance, higher ballflight, low kickpoint

red- better dispersion, lower ballflight, mid/high kickpoint!

hope this helps.

Answer 2

The important thing is  DO YOU LIKE IT ?

If the answer is YES. Put it in your golf bag this weekend.

All drivers are similar and have been since maxing out at 460cc and 0.83 COR about 3 years ago. That's why they are going with different shapes and changing weights etc.

Find one that feels good to you and get a good club fitter to get you the correct loft and shaft flex. (using a launch monitor)

Answer 3

No, the reason is simply because of the sound.  You almost have to wear earplugs to hit the thing it is so loud.  The balls flight and feel of the club is good.  But i just couldn't get over the noise.  If you are looking for a new driver i say go with the l4v cobra or maybe even the new taylormade tour burner
