I just traded in my BB460 for the HiBore XL. The HiBore XL is a much better driver for me then the BB460. I always hated the "squashed" look of the BB460. Love the HiBore XL!!

The regular (non-adjustable) R7 460cc can be found on EBay for about $200 and the R7 Draw 460cc (where most Superquads end up deing set) at about $200 is a true bargain - its a great club (I have one).

Dick's Sporting Goods is listing the R7 Draw in stores for $129.99 while they last.

Hasn't the 10.5* Hi Bore XL been deemed non-conforming??? Thought I read that somewhere.....

Well you are correct. Some of the 10.5 XL drivers are non-conforming.

http://www.randa.org/index.cfm?actio...nonconfdrivers There are some pictures on this website of the 10.5 drivers that are conforming and the ones that are not. I will have to wait till I get home and check which one mine is. I am hoping that since I just bought this that I will have a conforming model now.

I would probably try the R7 and see if I liked it. I would probably stay with the 905T though.

That was the whole reason for choosing the name. I am glad there is someone else on the board as well.

i was going through my "bag of old clubs" last night after reshafting my new G10.

Here's what I still own:

Taylor Classic Burner 7 degree with gold aldila s40.
Callaway Big Bertha 8.5 graphite stiff.
Some Titelist Titanium thing with a blue shaft (forget the model)
Callaway Great Big Bertha 7.5 degree strong.
Taylor Made R580 7.5 aldila nv65 s
Taylor R7 superquad 9.5 (just got, but gonna sell)
Ping G10 UST proforce 2.

out of all of those, my favorite was still the great big bertha. that only had about a 350 cc head .. it looked tiny compared to my G10 and back when I bought it it was sooo big.

Off Topic - You guys aren't alone! I graduated with a degree in math and comp sci in may of 2005.

On Topic - I would have voted for the 2007 Taylor Made Burner but it wasn't a choice (still too expensive?). I played with the Burner TP last season and the beginning of this year and loved it.
In my brand new bag (all my old stuff was stolen out of my trunk in June 2008 ):

Driver - Tour Burner TP 9.5 65g Stiff Shaft
Woods - Steelhead Plus 3 & 5
Irons - 755's S300 Shaft 3-PW 1° flat54° Wedge - Vokey 54.10 Oil Can60° Wedge - 60.05 ChromePutter - ZebraBalls - ProV1

I am in love with my Cleveland Hibore. And it was the regular ol' Hibore, not the fancy-pants XL or XLS or whatever. Love it, love it, love it.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
