Cleveland HiBORE XLi Irons
If you love hitting hybrids, well then this Is your perfect set of clubs. These clubs have a seamless tansition from the long Irons, becoming more compact to the short Irons, but still maintaining the hybrid benfits and looks. These clubs are what Is known as super game-improvement Irons. Cleveland has made a vast Improvement from the predecessor of these clubs, making them more sleeker at address. I’ve never been a big fan of hybrids and I’m still not but these clubs do hit the ball crisp. These clubs provide a sweet sound and feel. I do like how the club head glides through the turf. This club would benefit many weekend hackers. I’m very impressed at the number of stock shaft options. Very rare for super game improvement Irons.
Not the most cheapest of clubs out on the market, at a street price of $145/steel, $159/graphite. Not sure If the average weekend hacker would be prepared to pay the money for these clubs. Im still coming to terms with the concept of a hybrid sand wedge. I’m really struggling to find any benfits of this, I can only see it as a hinderance. If anybody uses the hybrid sand wedge of these clubs, please leave a comment, I would be very interested to read your views.

I love the soft feel of these clubs. The Gelback matertial situated behind the hitting area dampens the unwanted vibration on mis-hits. The good thing about this Is that It provides a soft feel but It also doesn’t fully mask all of the vibration. This enables you to gain feedback from the club which Is Ideal, especially for mid to low handicappers which this club Is targeted at. I like the looks of this club as well. I feel that It Is important for clubs not to just play well but also to look fantastic. I like the thinish topline of these clubs. They look appealing. Workability of the club Is important with these types of irons and I feel this club does enable you to work the ball around. These are easy to launch as well. I’m not a big fan of the degree lofts on these clubs. Personally, i prefer the 9 irons to be at 40 degree loft but these are at 42 degree. Thats the only fault I could find about these clubs.
