Okay, just got back from playing nine with the Hibore. Specs are 10.5 Graffaloy Prolaunch 65 stiff. First to the good. This is one straight stick. No matter what I did the ball flight never curved over 5 yards either way, even when I went after it and hit it outside in. It just doesn't move. Most of my shots were slight draws or fades no more than 5 yards in either direction. I guess this is due to the low spin of this driver.

The bad. I'm not sure I put enough spin on the ball to keep it in the air. I'm going to have to check it on the LM but it doesn't seem to stay in the air for a long time. I hit a couple drives longer than my normal on certain holes, but others were 10-15 yards short. I never had a drive balloon on me, and it really did not hit that high. Much lower than I thought it would. I normally hit it low with most drivers but I was thinking this club would get it up a bit. My flight was similar to my 905R 11.5 with the V2 75stiff, but the Titleist carry's further, although not as straight.

I'm wondering if I should have gotten an 11.5 degree. Also, another problem may be because this club is very long, 45.5". I tried teeing it low and high and they produced similar results, but it seemed I was hitting it a little lower on the face than center. Its really hard to tell as the face does not give indication of where its hit like most drivers do in leaving a slight ball pattern mark.

Anyway thats my quick review. I'm going to have to decide if I want to swap it or keep it.
