Drive, Chip, Putt - Everything About Golf

The Cleveland Hibore XLS is the newest driver in Cleveland’s Hibore line of clubs. The club face is 17% larger than last year’s Hibore XL model. It’s Cleveland’s largest ever and among the biggest on the market. Cleveland’s Full Face Performance technology extends the “Hot Zone” across a larger area of the face creating more distance from both solid shots and mishits.

This club also features maximum USGA clubhead dimensions to push the currently allowed Moment of Inertia (MOI) limit. 5300 MOI represents a 13% increase from the Hibore XL. This higher MOI provides even more control off the tee for extremely straight drives even when the driver is off the heel or toe.

All of the technology that Cleveland has packed into this driver seems to have really paid off for golfers. It is one of the farthest and straightest clubs that we have hit. This club comes in lofts of 8.5, 9.5, 10.5, and 11.5 degrees. Draw versions are available in lofts of 9, 10.5, and 12 degrees. The Cleveland Hibore XLS retails for around $300 at Golf Galaxy right now.
