My Experience Purchasing a New Driver
posted in Deals |After much debate, I decided that this was the year to make a change with the driver in my bag. When I buy clubs I like to wait until last year’s models go on sale. You can usually pick up a brand new club at a substantial discount when the stores start pushing the new models.
Knowing that I would be purchasing a new driver this year I spent a great deal of time testing models last fall. After testing almost every manufacturer’s driver, I narrowed the choice down to the
Cleveland HiBORE XL Tour Driver and the Cobra F/Speed LD Driver. It was a hard decision between these two because they both performed similarly for me, but when I walked into the local Golf Galaxy to pick one of them up, my decision was made for me.
After picking up each one I decided to go back to the simulated range to hit a few balls. Walking back to the range, I walked past the pre-owned clubs and decided to take a look. Needless to say it didn’t take me long to find what I was looking for.
There, mixed among the pre-owned clubs, was a HiBore XL Tour model just like the brand new one that I had in my hands. After looking the club over I thought for a second that it was just in the wrong spot because it looked brand new. It wasn’t until I saw the price tag that I knew I wasn’t mistaken. This club was probably bought by someone who hit it once or twice and decided that it wasn’t for them. After hitting a few balls, it didn’t take me long to realize that this was the club I would be going home with.
Now that I have played two actual rounds with this driver in my bag, I am very pleased with my purchase. My drives are long and straight and I am able to place the ball much better with this driver that I was with my old one. In a testament to how pleased I was with this club I just purchase the Cleveland HiBore XLS 3 Wood to go along with it.
