Last years cleveland hibore for 150

or the R5 Dual Driver 150(Neutral)

they r both on sale on many of the common sites i was wondering what was better

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.
In my Viper by Hippo Golf stand bag:
Driver: Cleveland HiBore 10.5° Fujikara reg. flex

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....

    • 12 July 25 - Got invited to a Sat morning round with some friends.  Was a decent round - sort of a pre-tournament round for the 1st of Aug.  Best play of the day - lost ball off the tee on 7.  Took the drop, hit 3rd onto the green, missed the par putt by 3 inches short - middle of cup.  Was a good bogie recovery.  Learned a valuable lesson - the wedge is your friend, the collars on the greens are just long enough that they kill the putter (unless you hammer it).  Back to more of those nice chip and roll drills. &nbsp
    • Day 357: played 27 holes. +6 total - pretty pleased. Only negative was missing the hole 3 times from within 4 feet…
    • Day 1: 7/12/25 exactly 60 minutes of chipping practice. Unlikely to be able to practice very much but sure had a blast today!
    • Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.
    • Played in the first round of Shawnee Hills  course tournament. went 42+46. Just lost energy on the back nine.  Lots of pars and way too many big scores. Course has a lot of areas to lose a golf ball. This is the adjusted score.  I had to return to the tee twice. The first the guy I played with didn’t tell me my ball bounced into the trees behind the green. 😡 the 2nd one I hit a decent draw over the corner of a slight dog leg left. I didn’t know 15-20 yards from the fairways was nasty weeds. I also 4 putted and 3 putted a few times. I flubbed like two chips. Too long of backswing.  I was happy with my ball striking. Probably B-. Found a bit of something on the range before the round. I’m starting to actually feel my right arm position better with what I am working on. I striped some irons today.
