Cleveland's HiBore Driver... Like Déjà Vu all over again?
The hype surrounding Cleveland's HiBore driver is building as the new line starts arriving at pro shops this week.
The early word is "straight and long". Vijay (who gets paid to say so), says the driver will be club of the year.
The hype may be deserved as the HiBore seems to be performing well on tour, however, I've got to question the "innovative" design.
Think you've seen that shape before? I did, and before I dismissed it as a case of gear head déjà vu, I did some research and found a club that had been the star of a long running infomercial promoted by long-drive record holder Jack Hamm just a few years ago.
The club was called the "Air Hammer" (pictured right) and resembles with striking similarity Cleveland's HiBore. Now I'm sure that the HiBore is the result of Cleveland Golf's engineering and design team and a more sophisticated piece of technology than the "Hammer", but you've got to wonder...
Anyway, Cleveland has launched the HiBore website which inlcudes everything you need to know about a driver that may change the shape of golf, again.
