Cleveland HiBORE XL Tour Driver (Graphite)

New for 2007, the Cleveland HiBORE XL Tour Driver (Graphite); play the same driver as Cleveland Tour Professionals.

The new Cleveland HiBORE XL Tour clubhead uses strict Tour Specifications to allow skilled players to work the ball more easily by shaping shots, while still maximising distance. The clubhead is slightly smaller (440cc) than the standard HiBORE XL (460cc). The HiBORE XL Tour also has a 3° open face angle, a 1° flatter lie angle than the standard XL, and neutral internal weighting to work the ball more easily.

Distance Driven Geometry
Moves weight lower and deeper in the clubhead. This optimised centre of gravity (COG) location aligns the Centre of Gravity Projection (CGP) with the COR Hot Spot in the centre of the face, resulting in optimal launch conditions for greater overall distance.

Full Face Performance
Alignment of Sweet Spot and COR Hot Spot produce optimal launch conditions over a larger area of the face, allowing for efficient energy transfer that maximises ball-speed across the entire face.

High MOI
High MOI and deeper COG provide increased stability on off-centre hits, leading to greater distance and a tighter shot dispersion over the entire face.

Driver Trajectory
The Cleveland HiBORE XL Tour driver produces higher launching, lower spinning conditions off the face, resulting in a more penetrating ball flight that reaches its apex faster and carries further than the leading high volume drivers.

Player Profile
This club benefits and performs well for golfers of all abilities, but it particularly suited to better players who want to work the ball more easily.

Fujikura Fit-On Shaft Options
As important as the clubhead is to maximising distance and accuracy, playing with a correctly fit shaft is equally important. This is why Cleveland Golf and Fujikura Composites have worked together to develop a two shaft fitting system specifically designed to maximise the performance of the HiBORE XL driver.

Fujikura HiBORE XL GOLD (Standard Trajectory): Features a lower kickpoint and active tip section. This shaft was designed to produce an optimised trajectory, increasing launch angle, and ballspeed for maximum distance with a smooth feel at impact.

Fujikura HiBORE XL RED (Tour Trajectory): Designed with the stronger player in mind. This shaft has a higher kickpoint and lower torque to allow skilled players with fast swing speeds, to control their trajectory and manipulate their ball flight.

Correct Shaft Fitting
There are a number of variables that must be analysed when selecting the right shaft for your individual swing - launch angle, backspin, and ballspeed are three of the most important. However, just by knowing your general trajectory and swing speed, you can use Cleveland’s Quickguide at - HiBORE.com - to point you in the right direction.
