I picked one up (I am a sucker for new equipment), with the prolaunch blue shaft - only range tested thus far but I already feel more confident with the HiBore than the Ping G2 I've had todate. I do appear to be hitting the ball longer and achieving more consistency in terms of dispersion, overall. Surprisingly, I didn't get the sense that the Hibore was an overly unwieldy monster sized club (though it is big) - the shape of the head was actually confidence inspiring (for me) at address. The feel of the two clubs are also very different at impact, as well as the sound - not sure how to explain it but the Hibore seems to make more of a "craack" sound rather than the canny sound made by some drivers (again not sure if I am describing this accurately). From a purely cosmetic perspective, its not a pretty club - the finish on the head topside is rather dull (but I think this is effective in reducing glare) and austere. The shape is reminiscent of a big version of the Halo hybrids. Not fancy by any means - but it performs!

Anyhow, even after only a short while, I am comfortable enough with this club to have taken out the G2 from my bag. It is long and very foregiving.
