Personally, I've dropped 10 points off my handicap since I started playing the HiBore XL and the HiBore 3 wood. I can't say enough about the forgiving nature of the face and how much jump I get off the tee. That being said, I get more loft and distance from the rough with an 18 degree Cobra Baffler DWS. If I got the same distance out of my hybrids, I'd likely drop the 3 wood from the bag alltogether.

As a former baseball player, and fairly recent convert to golf obsessive, I've had to force myself away from the 10 finger grip. While it still feels more 'natural' during follow through, I definitely sacrafice consistency when I revert to it. Now that I've worked into a comfort zone with the interlocking grip, I have much more control off the tee than ever before.

If coming down to the vokey or the cg12, I prefer and play the Cleveland. The larger face and generally less bounce give me more control around the green. If you're having severe issues with control, I would look more to the swing mechanics and less to an expensive wedge as a solution.

Ah, thanks - I was having the same issue with the 'edit signature' function.
