The R5 Duel is a real power bomber if you are able to kill the ball. Great driver that I'm deciding between that and the r7 460.

From what I hear the original HiBore is a chore to use and just not as good as the XL version.

looking for 2nd opinion i heard hibore is good

You could buy the HiBore XL I have on offer in my sig (currently) for $250 shipped.

Last year's HiBore was a bit of a dud. This year's is selling and performing really well.

I feel it's my duty in life to trash the r5. And that's saying a lot because I've loved every other TM product I've ever owned. Could've just been me, but I couldn't hit it well to save my life. I blame the TM MAS Shaft. Probably would've been nice reshafted with an Adila NV65.

I can´t say anything about the older version but I have to say that the Hibore XL is by far the best driver I have hit. My last driver was a Ping G5 and for ME the XL is longer and (more importantly) more forgiving. I´ve hit a lot of shots around the toe area of the clubface and the ball still goes straight. Highly recommended driver.

Driver: Smooth 9° E160 regular.
3 wood: Fast 10 15° Wasabi regular.
Hybrid: Fybrid 19.5° V2 regular.
Irons: Ci7 4-GW regular steel.
SW: CG10 56°.Putter: White Hot XG Marxman Mini 34".The rest of my set is still work in progress....

I had the TM r5 Dual for a couple years and loved it, it made me feel confident every time I addressed the ball.
