Cleveland Hi-Bore vs Halo Utility

[losingmyedge]

Going to buy one for a present for a 15 handicap.

What is better?

The HALO SEEMS TO GET GREAT REVIEWS AND IS A GREAT PRICE.

I have the 2i, 3i and 4i in the Halo and really like them. Once you learn to hit them they
are straight and high. I had a problem hooking them when I first got them.

I do not even have a fairway wood in the bag anymore. Just hit the hybrids.

I haven't hit the Hi-Bore hybrids (I own a Hi-Bore driver), but I own 22degree and 16 degree Halo hybrids and absolutely love them. The Halo series seems to have less offset than the majority of the newer hybrids which have started to lean more towards draw-biased, including the newest Cleveland hybrids. I also believe the rolled leading edge of the club really helps in certain lies, along with the simple contoured sole (which if I recall correctly is what Jesse Ortiz always talks up in his Bobby Jones hybrid commercials, other than the lightweight maraging steel or whatever.) Either way, the Halo hybrids have worked well for me.



This is the 16degree 1i hybrid, I went with a stiff graphite shaft for this club as I was looking for it to be more of a fairway wood replacement. Both clubs have a good look at address. (to me.)



The 22degree has a steel shaft, again because I was more looking to replace 3 iron. I feel as if I can use my same long iron swing with this club, seeing as the steel shafts are a little shorter than the graphites. Whereas with the 16 I swing a little more like a fairway wood (slightly flatter plane, etc.)



And a pic of the faces to give you a feel for the height and width.

Overall the clubs have really filled into my bag nicely, hitting the 22 around 210yds and the 16 goes 230 off the deck, slightly further when teeing off. Hope this helps you a little.

Thank you so much altony.

That is excellent.

I think I will go for a halo as I can get it new for £40 which is about $80 new.

you cant go wrong with the Halo, I havea 2 & 4i and love them, they are great off the tee on short tight par 4's and also fly high and land soft... i am lacking a bit of control though i think the reg shaft is a bit too whippy for me can anyone suggest a good after market shaft, steel or graphite.
