New Driver Question

[rhodes81]

I just got my new driver in today. It's a Cleveland HiBore XL that I bought on sale. My old driver was a reliable old Titleist 975 with a small heads typical of that style driver. My new Hibore has a giant head (compared to my old titleist) and I have a question about how that head looks at address. When I set up to the ball should the head be tilted a little bit where so that the toe is pointing up slightly? If I try and make the clubhead level my arms have to be too upright and it is not comfortable. The driver hit fine in my round this way today, but i am going to the range tomorrow to really break it in and i want to make sure i am doing it right now so i won't have to correct a bad habit later. Thanks for any help.

The toe will point slightly up. I'm guessing you bought it stock from wherever you bought it and I'm also guessing you're not a tall man. My XL is stock and I'm 5'10" and the flat spot on the bottom of the driver when resting on the ground and arms @ a comfortable position leaves the toe up a bit. I did notice while experimenting that if I elevate on my toes the toe of the club will drop and appear parallel w/ the ground. However, I haven't had any problems with the way it sets up. Hope this helps.....

Your toe should be slightly raised at address, or at least that is my understanding. I feel most comfortable with it just slightly raised.
