Cleveland HiBore xls hibrid?

[miller72]

is it a good club?
I dont have a 3 iron anymore, so im in the market for a good hybrid.
anyone hit it or have it?

[King Cobra II]

I had it, and I just recently traded it in. I hated it. It was a nice looking club but it just was not effective for me at all. I couldn't really work the ball with it, and it wasn't forgiving. I replaced it with the callaway x 3H and I like that a lot more.

I have the older model halo and it is nice. Long and straight as is the halo. Im sure the xls is just as good if not better.

[King Cobra II]

Actually the Halo worked much better for me. I had that at one time as well. I don't know maybe some people love the XLS but everyone who tried mine out had the same reaction I did "why is this thing $150?"

Yeah, from what I hear too, the xls woods and hybrids are duds. I hit the hybrid and the ball flight was horrible.

Judging by your 2 handicap I dont really think you should be playing a hybrid like that (closed face, high launch, high spin), I would suggest a good players hybrid such as the callaway ft or taylormade tour burner tp.

Id agree with that , i have had a HALO 2i for about 2 years now, have tried plenty of other hybrids and nothing comes close (well for my swing anyway) they go for around $50 - 60 now too... bargain! do yourself a favour and try one.

I own a Halo 4i , and because I couldn't find a Halo in a 3i, bought a HiBore.
I wouldn't give up either one.

Although I have not hit the XLS I would suggest avoiding it due to the 'extra' offset, high spin etc (seems to be aimed at the higher handicapper or game improver). I play the previous hibore model which has no offset and works great. I just recently replaced my 3 wood with a 16* hibore. I also had a good look at the cobra baffler pro but the cleveland was much cheaper and I already had a 19* cleveland too so knew what to expect.

[miller72]

well the thing is, im on a budget here.
I only have $150 to spend here, any suggestions?

[patrick_the_pup]

i have been using 2i XLS for months...
i find it good and forgiving and it's cheap (around < 100usd)

[st0wgolf08]

well the thing is, im on a budget here.

I suggest a Titleist 585H which is probably under 100, and a callaway x hybrid which is definately under 150.

My suggestion is the cleveland hibore (not hibore xls). It's $59.99 at golfsmith.
