The new Cleveland Classic XL Driver is being described as the game improvement option and the Custom is being described as the better players version. Obviously the Custom will cost more however surely the added adjustability would actually benefit game improvers more than a lot of better players because the Custom allows you to change face angle which would help mid-handicappers reign in their slices or hooks. I believe both heads are 460cc so the Custom isn't a 'Tour' version like other brands.

Does anyone know if you set the Custom to the same shaft, same loft, same lie and same weight, is it exactly the same as the regular Classic XL, or does the Custom have some other design that makes it for better players?

as far as I know, the only difference are the adjustability and stock shaft(Miyazaki JDL for the XL and B. Asha for the Custom).  Same heads, though.

My philosophy on golf "We're not doing rocket science, here."

Thanks for replying. The standard shafts are different and it is actually 45.5" in the standard XL but 45" in the Custom. But my pro can give me a fitting for no upcharge so I think he can get me which ever shaft (including a load of other shaft options) and length I need.

Other than the adjustability the two heads do seem to be identical. Apparently there's three weight options in the Custom head so I'm assuming one of them is equal to the standard XL but if it isn't then that might be the only difference.
