Description Through the history of persimmon woods, drivers have always been round. As time progressed and technology advanced, they've grown bigger and are now made of a variety of metals, but for the most part,...

Summary: This is one hot driver and, since the one I have is actually two year old tech now, it is very affordable.
So long as you remember, that even though this is an oversized driver, it needs to be teed low, you will gain distance. More importantly you should gain accuracy. Most important of all, you will gain confidence.
At address the club looks hitable. Just looking down at how small the ball is compared to that huge face you begin to believe that your next shot is going to be a good one. As you swing the weighting does its job to help assure pure contact. And at contact there is a sound like no other. Solid and clean, there is no doubt that contact has been made. Because the sweetspot is so large it is hard to miss and the ball flies off of the face. As the ball lands the effects of the HiBore are not done yet; now the ball releases and rolls another 25 yards or so. Between the piercing flight and the end release the result is amazing.
With my old TaylorMade R-5 I averaged about 230 total off of the tee. With my new HiBore I manage to fly it 250 and gain more yardage in roll.
The summary is simple; if you want to have more fun playing you need to hit it better. And the further it goes the better. This is one awesome club!

Summary: These are the best irons ever for a newbie. I am playing for the past 1.5 years and score in the 90s.
These irons have improved consistency - reduced both slices as well as draws from my iron shots. I am able to hit much better approach shots, good ball flight. No topping or hitting behind the ball. You know that once it connects, the ball will go straight.
I used to slice with my 3 and 4 irons. Now I don't hesitate to use them for shots >200 yards from the fairway. The ball goes very straight and very long.
Due to their build, I don't feel the need for a hybrid or 3/5 woods in my bag.
A must for everyone who is hitting >90 and have problems with hitting the long irons.

Summary: Tried this driver which was owned by my brother...I had been hitting a NIKE Sumo...no more NIKE, this Hibore put it to shame...he gave me his driver because I hit it so very long and straight. Gained at least 25 yards with perfect accuracy. Thanks Cleveland!!

Summary: Changed to the High Bore from a Callaway x...best move ever. I believe this is the best driver on the market for the mid to high handicap player. It is exceptionally easy to hit...very forgiving, easy to control..not quite as long as the x or the Cleveland Launcher, but very consistent. (I have them both in addition to the HiBore).

Summary: This Driver went on sale at Dick's for $120.00. I had to try it. I am glad I did. I was looking for direction from this driver, not distance. That's exactly what I got. It's hard to mis-hit, and believe me when I am at the driving range I try to mis-hit this and can't. The ball goes right where you aim the clubface, and when you do hit it off the heel or toe the penalty is not too great. This is a great driver for a mid handicap. it's a pleasure to hit.
