After considerable success with a new HiBore driver, I'm now looking at the fairway woods. Has anyone had any experience with them and what can I expect i.e. comparing them with The 904F?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

Well, you'd likely want to compare them to the 906F. As soon as I can finish some other projects, too, I have a HiBore (and a 906F) fairway wood review to write.

I like the HiBore, but it doesn't feel quite as workable as the Titleist. A bit more stable (forgiving), a tad higher launch.

I have the 15* with the V2 75 stiff

So far Im loving it. I was really pleased with the hiBore 19* Hybrid that came out recently (i didnt try the halo) so started looking into other HiBore Clubs and recently bought this.

From what Ive read, the hiBore driver really needs to be fitted properly to get full benefit, but the fairway seemed to be fine ( I just bought knowing I liked the V2).

As its fall up here in the Northeast, I dont know what my distances are (gain/same/lost) but so far the club feels great. Agreed, high launch, but ive always played Cleveland fairway woods so cant compare to the Titleists (have a 905s in the bag tho).

Im now going to get a 13* (i can use it on my course more effectively) but will keep the 15* for different courses, bag set ups.

In closing: Im very happy with both HiBore clubs Ive bought so far.

Hope this helps!

F-n Awesome!!!! I Had a Callaway X and the HiBore is not any longer - but WAAAAAAAAY straighter and easier to get airborne. I've tried them all. I like this club better than the HiBore rescue or driver! and I have both! I went with a 5 wood in the hi-bore instead of a 3 wood this time. It paid off.

    • 39, +4. A bit better hip slide stuff. More lateral, less turn with the hips. 
    • Day 11: Worked on putting with the metronome
    • I added to total today by hopping it in on the first hole for an eagle. A short par 4, I hit 4 wood to 110. With a little breeze in my face I hit a 50 degree gap wedge to 2 feet and watched it hop into the hole for an eagle 2! 
    • Sounds good. Text me if you have any questions. You have a good setup, too, and so long as you can get good camera angles… you should be good. https://skillest.com/@iacas
    • Day 14 (September 18).  Morning practice, despite questionable weather (it's raining).   Worked on chipping at first, including run-ups with UW and PW;  I've noticed lately some of my near-GIRs are missing forward, with nothing but grass ahead of me, but 20-30 yards to the pin.  After a few misadventures putting those lately, I wanted to at least get a feeling for what a 30-yard chip shot that doesn't have the variance of my quarter lob wedge would feel like.  I still think "putt when you can putt" is right, but... I am less sure I have a 30 yard putt in me.  Range time also, of course, same routine as the past week or so (drill, 3-4 slow shots, etc).   Did not get to the putting green as it was starting to come down a bit more. Darn, it really is raining.  And I thought today would be a perfect day to play, seeing as how it's 9-18 and all.
