I switched to the HiBore XLS fairway woods about 4 months ago (traded my Taylor Mades). The Cleveland Woods are very soft off the face. Very easy to shape the shot off the fairway. I visited the Driving Range for about 2 weeks before going to the Course. Very Satisfied - Distance has increased by about 15 - 20 yards per club.

7.38 Handicap
98 - 103 mph swing on Woods
Mizuno MP 52 (4-GW)
HiBore XLS Driver (280yds)
HiBore XLS 3 (260yds)- 5 (245yds) - 7 (225yds)
Nike Oz Putter (31")

Everyone is built differently, but these clubs even the playing field.. Definitely recommend..!!

i own the hibore xls driver, 3w, and hybrid. They are AMAZING.
I also own cg4 irons and cg12 wedges. Cleveland is the best golf brand with its high quality, low priced clubs!

I have a Hibore XLS 12* Draw. This club has made golf more enjoyable because of the accuracy off the tee. I am in the market for a three and five wood. I am being very closed minded and looking at only the Hibore XLS fairway woods. I am a high handicapper but the Hibore Driver has helped drop my handicap at least 8 strokes in just two weeks.

Longest 15* fairway wood I've ever hit, nice penetrating flight on the ball. One complaint (maybe just for me?)- the club seems to set up open, so I have to fiddle with it a bit to get it squared at address, but it's still in my bag every day! It replaced my Callaway x-hot.

Since my last comment about a month ago I picked up the 7W and played with it today and was equally impressed with its performance. These woods are gooood.

I agree with the review. The Cleveland 5 wood has taken the place of my Titleist 5 wood. More accurate, and length is similar if not longer.

Great review. i too have had the XL driver for sometime and got on really well with it. i bought the XLS 3 & 5 woods today and took them straight to the range...... WOW!! 5 wood is carrying 215+yards - and perfectly straight every time! i was enjoying hitting the 5 wood so much i only ended up hitting the 3 wood about 10 times - but the same story - straight and long! im off for a round tomorrow at my club - and am expecting to rip it up!!!

on a serious note, these woods really are a must buy! ive always struggled with fairway woods - they never ever felt right - but these clubs feel perfect!

happy hitting!!

Thanks for the great review. I was aware of cleveland's reputation for making solid woods with the Launcher series but they came in for some heavy criticism with the original HiBore, even from their own pro - Vijay. But it seems they have ironed out the kinks with the new XLS. Looks like it may be time to change from cally to cleveland soon.
