The R5 Duel is a real power bomber if you are able to kill the ball. Great driver that I'm deciding between that and the r7 460.

From what I hear the original HiBore is a chore to use and just not as good as the XL version.

looking for 2nd opinion i heard hibore is good

You could buy the HiBore XL I have on offer in my sig (currently) for $250 shipped.

Last year's HiBore was a bit of a dud. This year's is selling and performing really well.

I feel it's my duty in life to trash the r5. And that's saying a lot because I've loved every other TM product I've ever owned. Could've just been me, but I couldn't hit it well to save my life. I blame the TM MAS Shaft. Probably would've been nice reshafted with an Adila NV65.

I can´t say anything about the older version but I have to say that the Hibore XL is by far the best driver I have hit. My last driver was a Ping G5 and for ME the XL is longer and (more importantly) more forgiving. I´ve hit a lot of shots around the toe area of the clubface and the ball still goes straight. Highly recommended driver.

Driver: Smooth 9° E160 regular.
3 wood: Fast 10 15° Wasabi regular.
Hybrid: Fybrid 19.5° V2 regular.
Irons: Ci7 4-GW regular steel.
SW: CG10 56°.Putter: White Hot XG Marxman Mini 34".The rest of my set is still work in progress....

I had the TM r5 Dual for a couple years and loved it, it made me feel confident every time I addressed the ball.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
