I'm looking at a Cleveland Hibore XLS draw version. Anybody swung one of those?

yeah...it's one of those courses where I go to enjoy myself, not to try and torch up the course....

Enjoy myself = only screaming a few times...

We played at Pax in the drizzle on Saturday morning and my buddy took an XLS demo model out....he seemed to like it. It wasn't the draw version....

I have a TM R7 draw Hybrid. I'm looking to get rid of it simply because the inconsistency of draw feature. When i open the face up to play it straight up sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. When I play it straight up sometimes it's a gentle draw, sometimes it's a dramatic draw...

If you can get up to Golfdom in Tyson's Corner they have a sweet Swing Analyzer set up. You pay something like 15 or 20 bucks for a half an hour and they break it down to the shaft, loft you need, and have a virtual driving range that is pretty impressive. I bought my irons up there last spring and want to get up there to get a new driver. I bought a Taylor Made Burner at Mike's last spring, 9.5 loft Stiff Fujikara shaft, and it's ok, but i think i want to go to a 9.0 because I still get way too much air under my ball. I might put my driver up on somd.com if anyone is looking for one, i bought it brand new for 399 and i'll probably get rid of it for 175-200

Don't even try to go for the hole from those bunkers..just get out..backwards, if necessary...

Golfdom sounds like a good idea for a Saturday trip. Thanks for the tip. I have Mizuno MX25 irons that I had fitted and they are great. I think I need to do the same for the next driver. My current driver is a Ping G2 that I bought at Second Swing (now Mike's) in Waldorf and I have fought a severe fade/slice with that ever since I bought it a couple of years ago (notwithstanding the monster DUCK HOOK into the water at last year's SOMD open -- ask Pete, Air or Kom). I think it is a little too open for me so maybe a properly fitted draw or neutral driver might help straighten me out.

Thanks again for the tip!

Not to be confused with the the grass burner shot, seeking water shot or the wtf was that shot.

.....which pretty much describes all shots hit by the foursome at any given time....actually Otter was there, not Air! (oops) Sorry for the omission.

New for '08 is my :otterslice: BUT it only manifests itself with my driver. I was contemplating the purchase of an R7 Draw or even the SuperQuad but I think that the problem may be the weak grip I use on my driver vs. the stronger one with everything else in the bag.

I have 1 month before MB so I hope I can get it straight (pun sort of intended) before then. I'll go and bash a bucket sometime next week to see if my theory is correct.
