What Do You Think Of Cleveland Driver?

The Cleveland Hibore XLS Hybrid boasts more offset to promote a square face at impact, preventing slices and making it easier for directional and trajectory control. PGA Tour feedback has led to a more blunt toe and symmetrical shape for an appealing look at address.

 

 

 

 

If you want to hit it like a pro you need attack the Cleveland HiBore Monster XLS Driver  with a sharp downward path to hit a penetrating trajectory. The energy of the spin is then used on the green not in the air with a high lofted shot. Practice putting the Rules of Golf Book that we all 'automatically' carry in our golf bag(!) 4-5 inches behind the ball (a scorecard will tend to blow away) and hit down on the ball with your wedge or 9-iron without hitting the book. Pretty soon you'll be spinning the ball with much more authority - just like a pro.

 

One of my coolest shots is the Stinger with a fairway wood and it's great to control a tee shot that bores into the wind. I can hit it with the driver as well, using the same technique. It flies low and runs out there nicely.

 

Woods says he slightly narrows his stance in his set-up but uses his standard ball position, just inside his left heel for both driver and fairway wood. My swing thought is to keep my hands leading the club past impact by ‘softening my elbows.' I take a little divot when I hit this shot with a fairway wood off the turf or a very low tee.

 

Cleveland Hibore XLS Driver features maximum USGA clubhead dimensions to push the MOI (moment of inertia) limit. 5300 MOI represents a 13% increase from the HiBore XL for control off the tee for extremely straight drives. Heel and toe "stability foils" signify where weight has been added to the perimeter of the clubhead to maximize stability

 

With the wind threatening to get up over the next few days, controlling trajectory is a key part of the game. Says the world number one: "I like hitting knockdown shots because that's the way the game was played in the old days to combat windy conditions.
