Strength:
I didn't really need to "dial" in my hitting of them as I had to with the Edge irons. The forged feel of these irons is very nice. My distance was not much shorter at all given, most likely, that the lofts are probably similar. I'm thinking the radial sole with the extra mass behind striking behind the ball makes them the wonderful clubs they are. Well struck hits are more buttery smooth than the Apex Edge's and FTX's.

Strength:
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. Weakness:

I bought a hibore 10.5 with a V2 regular shaft. I have tried at least seven other drivers. I bought this used at a yard sale for 40 dollars. The first point Id like to make is this shaft is great. In another driver I had the aldila wasabi, too much of a balloon effect. I had a aldila RIP red eyes in another, too low a ball flight. The V2 is just right . I have a swing speed of 98 to 102. The regular flex has given me accuracy and good distance. I like the feel and sound as well. Not like a tin can. I did try a cleveland launcher with a fujikura fit on shaft which I didn't like at all. I have slowed down my backswing, put my hands slightlty in front of the ball at adress and I have been hitting fairways or the short rough most of the time and better than with any other driver I have tried. I have a slice issue but if my tempo is good and I keep some simple reminders in play, I have good straight drives that average 255-270 and hit a long of 280 recently. The shaft and head combination is a good one.No make that an excellent one. You can spend alot more on other drivers, but if you are a mid handicapper with a similiar swing speed this is worth a long look. |

I bought this driver with the regular flex Fugikura shaft from 3balls.com for pretty cheap, and in great condition. I got it to replace my Taylormade Burner Bubble 2, which I was having problems straightening out my drives with. This club did the trick! My drives were straighter (hit the fairways about 80% of the time...the other 20% wasn't really far off though either) and longer (I was averaging about 240-260 yards). Although this driver may be "old" technology compared to today's $500 drivers, it still has the large face that offers a high level of forgiveness and a large sweet spot that really hammers the ball out on contact. I've read several reviews on here about this club and how if you tee it low, you'll hit more of the sweet spot, since it is positioned lower on the face, but I've found if you tee it up so the ball is about 1/4 above the crown, it allows you to get under it enough, but not too much, as to allow the ball to soar on a very nice trajectory that is really not too boring. A fairly slow backswing with a fast, steady follow through also helps with accuracy on the fairways.

Have been reading a lot of reviews on this website and have to say that too many people seem to think that whatever they are testing is the absolute best. Get real and put it in perspective.
Customer Service N/A because never used it Similar Products Used: Almost all brands over the last five years or so |

This is one hot driver and, since the one I have is actually two year old tech now, it is very affordable.

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!! |

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). |
