Cleveland Golf HiBORE Driver
This item has been discontinued.
Product 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, they've maintained the round shape. Up until now, form has dictated function... The HiBORE™ Driver has changed all that. For the first time, function is dictating form. HiBORE is truly the new shape of distance.
- HiBORE geometry lowers and deepens the Center of Gravity (CG)* as compared to traditional-shaped drivers
- The HiBORE is the ultimate high-launch / low-spin driver through DISTANCE DRIVEN GEOMETRY™
- Sweet Spot has been increased by over 20%
- Stock Shaft - Fujikura HiBORE Graphite Shaft

Add a lead tape strip horizontal like in the picture on the package. You can get lead tape in the sports dept at K-Mart. 2.99. It will blow your mind how much farther the ball travels. The added wt in the back of the club causes the ball to go straight and longer. It also encourages you to hit all your irons better forcing your hands slower through impact getting longer ball flight. try it. Just glue the tap on because the sticky tape does not work well and the tape falls off after two balls are struck.

This driver is exactly what I've been looking for in consistant drives and trajectory. My Nike driver was nowhere near as consistent. The distance on the fly is amazing, with probably 95% of my drives going long and straight.

The shaft Makes the difference with this club. The wrong shaft and you are dead meat. The face feels hot but the end distance is not. It may be ok for the LOW handicapper but if your swing is not the same EVERY time it is a disaster (big hooks to big fades). I took it back and lost a $120 to just git it out of my bag! The 3 wood is hard to get launched. Trajectory is very low.

I was pretty happy with my Callaway C4. It was quirky but I attributed most of the quirks to my swing. Then I picked up the HiBore at a driving range and was amazed! I usually drive between 280 and 300 yards, but I was one-hopping the back fence at the range and the range pro told me that the fence was 320 yards out!I went and bought the club with a Grafalloy custom shaft. On the course it still performs well. I don't get the soft fade that I came to like with my C4. This driver hits the ball laser straight every time. (This takes some getting used to...it changes where I place my shots). I also hit the 300 yard mark much more consistently. It’s a great club, give it a try at the range then pick one up for yourself.

Man this freaken driver is awsome. I was hitting my r5 good, but then I got a little spending money. I hit that sucker incredible and about 10 yrdslonger than the r5. It takes a couple of swings to get use to, but when you start hitting it,amazing!I see hardly anyone on the golf couse with it. Dont let that fool you, so go buy one it's a great club for any handicap.

Frequently asked questions about
Hello,
I understand most drivers come in a 10.5 and 9.5 degree loft. I use a 10.5. When teeing off, my ball usually has a lot of loft and goes really high in the air, should I switch to a 9.5 degree

Thank you for your question.
Is it worth testing out? Absolutely. Will the 9.5 give you a more penetrating ball flight is the question. Most golfers would kill to have more hang time but I know how you feel. I was in the same boat at one time and tested different lofts much like you. I ended up staying with the higher loft though. I would test it prior to officially making a move.
Play Well,
Johnny

The higher loft will also be more controllable of the tee..

If you are not a low handicap golfer, where you play can make a lot of difference in driver loft choices. In the northern US. especially on the plains, wind can be a huge factor in driver loft effect. We have 160 yd par 3's where 10/12 handicap golfers are using drivers straight into a 35 mph wind. I use a 9.5 TM Burner draw. But I have a Titlist 10.5 I take to Phoenix (low or no wind) and FL (tree lined courses). High trajectory on windy links courses can really beat you up with a high loft. //

In general, the 9.5 degree will tend to give a lower ball flight. However, the shaft also contributes to launch angle. Find a Golf shop that has a simulator that can measure your swing path, launch angle, club-head speed, ball speed, spin and distance. With this information, your Pro can tell you if you need a different club, or just a new shaft.

Thank you for your question.
You would fall in the 'Regular' flex category based upon your swing speed.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
Thank you,

You're definitely a regular flex
Senior flex starts from 70-80
Regular is from 80 to about 100
Stiff 100 to 115ish
X-stiff 115+

My driver swing speed is 90mph, straight ball flight, and using the Burner driver, I need a stiff shaft. With the regular I do not have the same control as with the stiff shaft and distance is almost identical. Try one out on a range or on a monitor. Swing speeds do not always reflect the correct shaft for your swing. It's only a generic number but is a good starting point.

I have used the YS-6 shaft in the 905T and the FT-i with pretty good success. Can you name me a couple other shafts that you think would give me the same "feel" and control? Thanks.

Thank you for your inquiry. There are a few other brands that have similar weight and launch profiles of the Graphite Design YS series. You should notice that the Aldila NVS 65, the Graphalloy ProLaunch 65, the UST V2 67, and the Fujikura E360 are all very comparable.

My avg club speed was measured to be 108 mph , should I be looking at a extra stiff shaft
Anonymous

That clubhead speed is considered to be high enough for an extra stiff. Typically speaking, anyone who can swing their driver 105+ should be in extra stiff.

which shaft is better between regular and stiff
Anonymous

Great Question. Everything is subjective to your swing though. Do you tend to swing slower or more quickly? The rule of thumb is that if your swing speed is slower than 95mph then you should probably get a regular flex driver and if your swing is over 100mph then you should probably get a stiff flex driver. That leaves a little grey area that you from 95 to 100 where you can use either flex.
I hope this helps.
