Review of Cleveland Golf HiBore XLS Tour Driver by
the_mad_cabbie
Advantages: Brilliant, technologically advanced golf club. Simply the best driver I have *EVER* used!
Disadvantages: Costs an arm and a leg
The Cleveland Hibore XLS driver is so new to the market that at present Cleveland are only just releasing it to golf professional shops throughout the UK and Ireland.
Cleveland's marketing strategy is simply superb. Instead of spending an absolute fortune on *VERY* expensive TV and glossy magazine advertising, they have instead sent a selection of demonstration drivers to club professionals to be loaned out to golfers to play a round or two with ... ...And believe me, this new Cleveland driver is indeed an investment, as it is to retail here in Ireland at a whopping 376 Euros! (That's about four times the price I paid for my first full set of 14 matched golf clubs!) I'll return later to why I think Spalding's marketing strategy is so effective, but for the moment let's look at the club itself.

The wedge comes in a full range of lofts from 64" - 48" with all types of bounce on it. The wedge is cut using a CAD maching and has about 30% more groove area than conventional wedges so there is more space for the ball to deform in to. The edges of the grooves are more defined and 'sharper' so the friction ... ...I personally have a 58" and I love it. It is an oil can which i think looks better although it has been proven that rust has no noticable affect on the spin rate of the ball. With the oil can it must be cleaned well after use as the dirt and moitsure will make it rust loads. It spins so much as long as the grooves are clean and i use it for everything, pitching chipping from anywhere and bunker play. It has a reasonably heavy head which i think is ...

Spin it to win it!
Review of Titleist Vokey Spin Milled Wedges by
jezzard1
Advantages: So much short game control, spin is now easy
Disadvantages: Quickly scuffs your golf balls, avoid full shots!
Wow! That is what all golfers are saying when they hit one of these for the first time! Titlesit's latest wedge has a milled face to give extra spin control around the greens. These wedges are available in 54, 56,58 and 60 degrees and can also come in an oil can finish.
