I have hit several drivers since I have been playing, but I like this one the most! This thing sounds wicked when you make solid contact with the ball. I've only been playing three years now, and I have hit a Ping G5 for a couple months, a Taylormade Burner Draw for a couple rounds and this one for the past month. I'm not one of those people that get new clubs because I think they will make me play better, I've just had bad luck with breaking shafts [I've played baseball my whole life, so I started out trying to kill the ball] I got rid of the Taylormade because I couldn't work the ball enough with it, (I couldn't fade it). With the Cleveland, I've been killing the ball, I can hit it straight, I can draw it, and I can fade it. the best part is I only paid $135 for it and that was brand new!! Honestly I'm a high handicapper, and I can't tell you that this driver will make you drive the ball a mile further, or fix your slice or your hook, but I can tell you it is a very nice club, especially if you can pick one up for around the price I did

I had the Cleveland HiBore XL in a 10.5* loft with the Fit On Red Stiff Shaft. This is a great club ! ! It is very forgiving and hits a mile ! The club does make a very loud CRACK when you hit it, but when you can hit the ball long with this you will want people to pay attention when you hit it !!

It has to be one of the best drivers I have hit ! !

Never used it at a Pro Shop, never had any issues with the quality.

The best driver i have ever hit. Tested anything and everything i could get my hands on and this by far the best . At least thirty yards farther than a Nike SQ2. Former driver was a taylormade r5 dual and this just blows it out of the water. Fujikura Red shaft produces amazing bal flight.

First driver I've ever owned in which I have more confidence off the tee than I do with a 3 wood! Plenty long, plenty straight, and plenty forgiving.

I shoot anywhere from 85 to 95. I tried out the Ping G5 and G10. They were nice. I hit them pretty straight and about 260-270 yards. But when I tied the HiBore and instantly gained about 15 yards. I've improved my swing and now I dirve about 300 yds. The club is also very forgiving. On mis-hits I lose almost no distance and the ball doesn't spin and slice or hook like crazy. It is the most forgiving and longest driver I've tried. It sounds like a steel baseball bat. It surprised me at first, but I kind of like it now. I also feel great confidence at address looking down at the club. I just wish I could try the new HiBore.

I only gave value 4 stars because I got mine used and it was a little scratched up. But I've taken good care of it and it looks exactly the same as whe I bought it a year ago.

Been my driver since Jan 2007. I also own the Hi-Bore 3W, 5W and 3-PW Tour action irons with G.A.T. shafts. I sold my Ping Eye 2 set to purchase this set. Big improvment in my distance with every club. Maybe a small improvement in my ball placement skill. Since buying the Clevelands my handicap has gone down 3 strokes. But I am practicing & playing a LOT more golf since I bought a golf course home. Certainly I feel more confident at address with the Cleveland Driver & other clubs than the Pings. My hands don't feel as beat up at the end of a round with the Clevelands compared to the Pings. I've demo'd lots of other clubs this year, still prefer my Clevelands to anything else I've tried.

What service? I bought all these clubs brand spanking new on E-bay for 75% below golf shop prices.

I've bought & sold 9 other drivers from Feb to Sept 2008. The only other driver I've kept in the Nike SQ 460. I hit the Nike SQ a few yards further. The Nike is prettier at address than the Cleveland Hi-bore. The Hi-bore is more forgiving when I hit a pull or push. The Cleveland ball strike noise is less obnoxious than the Nike sharp & loud "plink"!

Best driver for me...I've tried several drivers but the Cleveland XL with the red shaft is very forgiving and very long...I can swing hard and the shaft holds up excellent with great roll...The balance feels good...A 85% swing is about right for control and distance...Big plus is 20 yds longer with better control than my old drivers. PS. The paint is tough and holds up nice.

Best Driver I've tried this year. I bought and sold 9 drivers between January to July 2008. Here's the hilarious kicker: I owned the Hi-Bore XL Driver 9 degree first. Callaways, Wilsons, Mizunos, Pings, Titlests, Taylormades have come & gone via E-bay. I still hit the Hi-bore longer & more precision. My drives will NOT improve with a diffrent club, I just need to become a better Golfer!

This is a great club for anyone. I used to have a set of cheap no name brand clubs i got at Dick's sports and was hitting the ball far. But not with my new driver i am hitting it a lot straighter and longer. I hit a par 4 367 and drove the green!!!!!

I just got this driver with the Regular Fujikara Gold shaft, and 11.5 loft and i could not be more pleased. I normally hit a driver around 220yds, with this club I'm hitting it about 230 and dead straight, even on mis-hits the ball still goes pretty far. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and i would definitely recommend this driver to anyone, whether you shoot in the 100's or 70's.
