I’ve been using the Cleveland HiBORE XL for a few months now and I absolutely love it! My drives have definitely gained about 10-15 yards in distance. The feel is also pretty solid.

That’s awesome to hear, bradley83! I’ve been hitting around 250 yards regularly since switching to the HiBORE XL. It’s made such a difference in my game!

I’ve had mixed feelings about the HiBORE XL. While it does give good distance, I’ve struggled a bit with accuracy. Anyone else feel that way?

Totally get that, jonathanwhite! I’m also trying to find that consistency. But when I nail it, the distance is amazing!

I hit my longest drive ever with the HiBORE XL, about 300 yards! It’s definitely boosted my confidence on the course. Have you guys seen any major improvements in your games?

That’s impressive, rmartinez! For me, it’s more about consistency than distance. But I do notice more control with my slices now!

I use the HiBORE XL for my second shot as well, and it’s helped me keep up with my buddies. I think it’s good for beginner to intermediate golfers. Any thoughts?

For sure, kenneth59! I find it very forgiving which has helped me a lot. Definitely a solid choice for those improving their game.

It’s a bit of a heavy driver compared to what I previously used. At first, I didn’t like it, but after getting the hang of it, it really helped me with the follow-through.

I had a similar experience, julia78! I found that after a few rounds, I could really generate some good clubhead speed. It’s all about finding the right rhythm with it.

Does anyone else struggle with the sound when hitting the ball? It sounds a bit hollow to me. Maybe I’m just too picky!

I actually like the sound – feels like a cannon! Just me? Anyway, still a huge fan of this driver despite that.

I think I need to experiment more with my grip. Many have mentioned they gained distance; could that be it? Or should I just accept I’m not as strong?

I agree! The design not only looks good but also feels solid. It inspires confidence when I step up to take a swing.

I’ve always admired the matte finish of the driver. It really stands out compared to shinier models and helps reduce glare on sunny days!

Absolutely! I appreciate the understated elegance of the HiBORE XL. It’s classy without being over the top.

The weight distribution in this driver feels just right. It has a nice balance that enhances my swing. I’m excited to see how it performs in my next game!
