More from Golf GearNew on the market: Cleveland Golf's HiBORE XLS drivers and fairway woods.
The scoop: The HiBORE XLS line of woods utilizes distance driven geometry by lowering the crown which, in turn, lowers the center of gravity to produce a face-centered sweet spot. The HiBORE XLS driver, which is available in a Tour, Standard or Draw model, features a 17 percent larger face and 13 percent higher moment of inertia. The HiBORE XLS offers maximum size and increased stability for added control off the tee. According to the company, its dual alignment features, which include a crown plaque and stability foils, also make it much easier to properly align the club at address. The HiBORE XLS Draw is the ideal driver for players that fight the fade. It's draw-biased face, offset hosel and internal heel weighting help mid- to high-handicappers hit more fairways without having to sacrifice distance. The HiBORE XLS Tour has a more traditional and compact pear shape, while its 2 degree open face and toe-biased weighting helps give better players more fade biased workability and increased distance.
The HiBORE XLS fairway wood has 24 percent more head volume compared to the original HiBORE fairway and boasts vastly increased MOI for increased stability and greater accuracy. Its 19 percent larger face offers players a larger hitting area which makes the club look and feel extremely hittable. This increased size allows results on mishits to dramatically improve, while also giving players an added sense of confidence when addressing the ball.
What they cost: The HiNore XLS driver and fiarway woods are available now. The minimum advertised price on the HiBORE driver is $299. The HiBORE XLS fairway wood has a MAP price of $179.
