Model Reviewed: Cleveland HiBore XL Tour 9.5
Summary: I tried many drivers on the current market and none comes close to the Cleveland HiBore XL Tour 9.5. The Tour version is best because it has a SQUARE face. I had trouble with all the rest because the faces are closed anywhere from 2 to 3 degrees. Not the Cleveland HiBore XL Tour 9.5 !! With all other drivers from the major manufacturers, because of the closed faces, I was hooking, snap hooking and at best hitting an extreme draw. Not with the Cleveland HiBore XL Tour 9.5
The Cleveland HiBore XL Tour 9.5 is LONG, very LONG too. I added 30 more yards to my drives with this club. I"m a clubmaker and I have not had to adjust anything on this driver. The big surprise is for once, the standard OEM shaft ( Red,stiff ) does what it says on the shaft. Red shaft is 3.1 torque. This model is LONG very LONG and STRAIGHT down the middle of the fairway. I LOVE this Driver.
If you have a tendency to hook, snap hook or hit a real bad draw, get the TOUR version of any Cleveland Driver.. You will be amazed. I played this club with a Titleist ProV1 and Pinnacle balls... Whew,, long, very long and straight.

Summary: I was ecently in the market for a new driver and this particular one caught my eye. I did some research on it and was pleased to see it got very high reviews. I decided to go to my local Dick's and egt ftted for one of these clubs. They told me to try a 9.5 loft driver with the gold stiff shaft. I promptly went out to try my new club and I was blown away. After playing a round of nine holes I averaged the distance of all my drives and discovered I had added an average of 30 yards to my tee shot! I can also hit my draw more consistently now thanks to this great club. I cannot recommend this club more highly. Kudos to Cleveland!

Summary: I got a change to check this beauty out today. All I can say is this is one of the greatest, and most underated, clubs on the market. I had a handfull of drivers that were over 300 yds. I am a former professional so yes I can hit it over 300 yds. The distance, however, is not the best feature of this club. This club rewards good swings and punishes poor swings. I recently tried the TM Burner and all I can say is Yuck! This club might be alright for those who have no athletic ability but for serious golfers the Hi-Bore is the way to go.

Model Reviewed: Cleveland Highbore XL Tour Driver
Summary: After 14 years of using my Callaway Big Bertha Warbird Driver, I decided to try some new driver technology. Since I only play 5-10 a year now I did not want to spend 300+ dollars for a new one. I saw the Cleveland Highbore XL Tour Driver at Dick's Sporting Goods for $145 and decided to give it a try.
I don't know if it's the new technology built into drivers since 1994, but I could barely hit this thing offline. I have allways hit the driver pretty long and straight but using this thinh is like cheating!
I got the 9.5 degree with the stiff/red fujikora shaft. I am hitting this thing at leat 20 yards longer than my old Big Bertha Warbird.
This club can't be beat for $145!!!
