Cleveland HiBore Monster XLS DRAW

Look at what the FedEx man brought me today







I've been hunting for one for some time. Got it 2nd hand off 3balls.com (via eBay). Cost me about US$100 (which incl. shipping) By the way, the shipping is ultra prompt. Completed ordering process last Thursday evening. Arrived early this morning.

Hopefully, this will help me cut down on my power-fades/slices and give me greater distance off the tee. Of course, I could suck at it which would likely be the most possible option... but one can hope

Awesome bro. Have you try it out ?

Just arrived this morning in the office. It's sitting under my desk for the moment

cannot provoke this lawyer.

sekali, take out driver from under the table and then hantum u.

XLS - Xtra Long and Straight! and its not enuff! add a Monster at the back!
*looks at S**nger*

Apparently, this one screams when she's hit. A loud yell comes out. Either from the golfer who's mishit the shot or from someone who's been pelted by the ball

Regardless, I was told that she's the noisy sort

I tot it always meant 'Xtra Loud Siah!'

LOL!

So, I took this bad boy out to the range yesterday and these are my observations:

1. Draw face
I've never played a draw driver before. I will say however that it does help cut down on the nasty slices. The ball still fades but much less and I'm able to get the shot a lot straighter down the line. If I hit it sweet, the ball draws and I get distance.

2. 9˚ loft
This is the lowest lofted club I've played and I like it. Admittedly, it's scary cause a bad shot will cause the ball to run more than fly. But, if hit properly, I get decent flight with the ball and because of the lower loft, the ball doesn't get in the air too much so it gets greater accuracy (i.e. it is less affected by wind).

3. The Monster XLS
The first time I hit, my ears were ringing for 10 seconds. This sucker is LOUD! Admittedly, it's not as harsh sounding as the Sumo 5900 but it's still loud. This is great as you can hear the power but a bad shot just alerts your neighbors to the fact that you're a moron with a loud-sounding club.

Overall, I like this club. It's going to sit in the bag in place of the Launcher 09 for a while. I'll wait and see how this one plays on the course. For the time being, it's an interesting club to have and for the price I paid, it's great

walau....as if your Launcher 09 is not Monster enough.....Now you acquired the MONSTER....!!!!

wow monster!!!! i only got my XL 2 years back,

bro TS, which site did u visit for all these goodies? 3ball.com?


btw, i think once u get use to it, the ball flight will be high rather then lower... (tht's wat happens to me) and now thinking of how to lower the ball flight to gain extra distance... btw, mine is a 10.5..



cheers..

I got my XLS Draw off eBay but it's from 3Balls. You can either buy direct from 3Balls but you pay the 3Balls price or take a gamble and buy off eBay for lower since it's an auction

I smacked a ball (one in like a gajillion) and it went freakishly far since it was low. But I can see how the ball can pick up in flight with a good thump.

tx bro, i am browsing 3balls now..

maybe if i find something i like, i will consult your advise on purchasing... i nvr purchase anything online b4... so ku ku...

Dun worry bro. 3Balls is really good. This is my 2nd purchase from them. No regrets.

yeah their shipping is insanely fast! and bro JT, i've been looking to lower my ball flight as well.. my 10.5 driver's ballooning like crazy. haha

becareful the shipping price, US$39.99....if u are in the market for other clubs, additional item cost is additional US$7.99 i think (last time bought 5 items from 3balls).

If i cant get my driver in SG, looking to order from 3balls again.

lol i still remember your famous eBay bidding spree.

maybe if you are just looking for one then can get other people to tah pao and save on shipping.

I don't mind paying the US$40 shipping if the item is not available in SG (and the XLS Draw doesn't seem to be). And, it arrives uber fast too!

i have one great admiration for u.

YOUR PURCHASING POWER

Cannot rival your backspin, sidespin and frontspin.

I took the driver out to play yesterday evening and it's pretty solid. I love it. I'm all for draw drivers now Distance-wise, this one is pretty good and definitely longer than my Cleveland Launcher 09. I guess that's a combination of the 9˚ loft and the XLS shape.

WAH!!!....from FADE to DRAW.....and the added distance!!!!....clap clap clap...congrats Bro....

That was one game, bro. Let's see how it fares when I take her to our "home course" next week, k? You are more than welcome to give her a run if you like

wahh that's fantastic tspaz. hopefully the honeymoon period doesn't end!

was wondering though, how does the ball flight for this one compare to your previous driver? i believe you were using the launcher 10.5 right? i'm thinking of getting a lower loft.. i think i'm getting too much altitude. haha thanks bro!

cancel last! haha i reread the thread and you've already talked about it. haha i'm itching to get my hands on a 9.5/9.0 lofted driver now!
