Cleveland HiBore XLS fairway wood
Review Date: 20th July 2008
Cleveland HiBore XLS
Price: £139.00
Cleveland's new HiBore XLS fairway wood is a sophisticated club, similar in style and design to its driver big brother. Head size has grown a little from its HiBore predecessor for extra forgiveness and stability.

Design and Tech Benefits
This fairway wood’s head has grown by 24% compared to last year’s HiBore XL. This larger head plus a 19% growth in face size mean increased spin for easier launch, and a bigger hitting area for improved results on mis-hits.
Golf Monthly Verdict
This club will go down well with players who like slightly bigger heads and face depths on their fairway woods. The clubface is similar in size to something like Ping's G5, so there may be some out there - like me - who would be happier with this from the tee than the deck.
