Totally awesome hybrids. I own the 2i(19 degree), 3i(22 deg), and 4i (25 deg).

These are SO EASY to hit high and straight from off the deck it's unbelievable! They are incredibly forgiving and exceptionally long.

You will have a hard time fading or drawing these hybrids, as they impart very little sidespin on the ball. Golf Magazine had a "Hybrid Clubtest" a few months back and their data showed the HiBore imparted around 522 RPM of SIDESPIN, while most others imparted around 800 RPM (the Ping Rapture imparted 1,084 RPM of SIDESPIN).

The HiBore hits the ball a mile, so much so that I'd recommend you buy a 4i HiBore to replace the traditional 3 iron.

It is amazingly easy to get up in the air from tight lies, and it rips through rough with no problem.

I hit the 2i HiBore hybrid about 10 yards shorter than my Cleveland Launcher Steel (2006) 15 degree 3-wood, but I'm much more accurate and consistent with the 2i. I've therefore taken my 3-wood out of my bag - it's GREAT off the tee, but I struggle with it off the deck, whereas the 2i is a piece of cake in any lie or situaton.

I now EXPECT to be home in two for most par 5s I play, whereas before I was never sure if I'd make solid contact with the ball (I've hit my share of worm burners with my 3-wood off the deck).

Lastly, although these are pricey at $180, their exceptional performance justifies me giving them a 5 for value.

Absolutely phenomenal hybrids. I bought the 2i (stock stiff shaft) to fill the gap between my 3 iron and 3 wood. I loved the feel, weight, sound, and versatility of this club immediately. My original intentions were to hit approach shots into par 5’s, but it is great for many shots. I started hitting it off the tee on short dog-log par 4’s, and for tight fairways. With a smooth swing I can put it out there about 220-- crank on it and it’ll go 240 (flat ground no wind). I love this club for tee shots. It’s more accurate than an average 3 wood, and gets great distance. This club was so perfect for my bag, I added another Cleveland Hybrid 4i. This 4i hits about 210 for my normal shot. But it will go 225 easy. I absolutely love this 4i off the tee box. If you need a birdie on a shorter par 4 (330 yds), hit this club. Consider the accuracy and distance of this club, why hit a driver and miss it right or left in the deep crap? I don’t bother with hitting a safe” 3 or 4-iron anymore, I just hit the 2i or 4i Hybrid, they are so awesome! Now I rarely use my 3-wood for anything now, not unless I’m 275 from the green on a par-5 approach, and want to put it on. These Hybrids go farther than your irons (a 4i Hybrid goes farther than a 4 iron), but not by a whole lot. They are easy to hit everywhere: Deep rough, fairway, tight lie, or off the tee box. These are the real deal, they are expensive, but you get what you pay for…. Quality, performance, and style.

Best club I ever bought. I have a stock graphite shaft with it. I am thinking of ditching my 4 iron and getting the 4i. I would recommend this club to anyone who has trouble hitting their 3 and 4 irons.
