Cleveland HiBore driver
By ROB SAUERHAFT
Managing Editor, (Equipment), GOLF MAGAZINE
You've heard time and again that today's big drivers work best when you catch the ball above the center of the face on what passes for the modern-day sweet spot. That provides the most stable hit. There's a tradeoff, however. To get maximum ball speed you have to make contact with the dead center of the clubface. Cleveland's avant-garde HiBore driver is different. The company claims its sweet spot is the dead center of the face because the beveled crown dramatically lowers its center of gravity. As a result, center hits produce maximum ball speed without clubhead rotation and all the club's energy goes into the ball. (Imagine yourself jumping up and down in the center of a trampoline. That’s the effect you get here.) There's also comparatively little drop-off in distance and dispersion on mis-hits. $499; 800-999-6263 or clevelandgolf.com
