I also demoed a Cleveland HiBore. Went on Ebay but people like you kept on outbidding me. lol. Anyway, I ended up buying an exact clone of the HiBore(Classic Tour Highly High Bore, 10.5 degree, Gramman TP440 stiff shaft) since my wallet wouldn't allow me to pay the $600 that they sell for here in Canada. I know I'm gonna get some flack for buying a clone, but, what the hell. I borrowed the HiBore demo today and took that and my clone to the driving range so I could compare before my 100% moneyback guarantee ran out. I hit the clone just as well and most of the time better then the HiBore. Don't bother arguing guys, you weren't there to see it. LOL.

Anyway, you want a higher trajectory, the HiBore is gonna give you that for sure. One thing that I noticed with mine(clone) is with the lower center of gravity I had to tee the ball quite a bit lower then you normally would a 460cc driver to get maximium distance. Also, teeing too high on the HiBore gives way too much trajectory. Experiment with your tee height till you find what gets you hammering that sweetspot everytime. I found I had to shift from the long tees back to short tees for this driver. Bottom line: You're gonna love this driver. It's very forgiving and very long. Also, no matter what SOME may say this club design is BEAUTIFUL. Anyone who makes fun of it will shut up when you are outdriving them by 20 yards and putting it down the pipe everytime.
