Looking to replace my 983k driver. Considering the FT-5 and the HiBore XLS. Anyone have any feedback on either of these clubs. Currently, my drives are in the 260-275 yd carry range with little to no roll out. According to the golf simulator, my launch angle is 13 degrees with a ball speed of 150-160 mph.

Driver : Burner TP, 9.5, ReAx 50g Stiff flex
Fairway 906F2, 15, V2 85-S flex
Hybrid Rescue TP, 21, ReAx Stiff flex

Tried both out, but didn't end up getting either.

FT-5 is long... very long, and good forgiveness.

Didn't like the HiBore very much... seemed to launch way to high. The sound of the HiBore didn't bother me, nor did the look, but the ball flight, no matter what shaft/loft combo I tried always seemed to be to high for my liking.

I have the HiBore XLS. It is a cannon, but it is also loud with a very metalic sound. Looking at your handicap, you are probably looking for something different that what I would choose, but the Cleveland is a very nice club. They are maximizing the technology.

Looking to replace my

I personally think:

A: The Callaway is more of a game-improvement club rather than a performance/player's club (though KNOW many will disagree). B: Cleveland is neither here nor there in terms of it's performance etc. c: i would suggest looking and hitting the new(ish) Titleist 907DI
