What does ultimate forgiveness look like? Turns out, this: HiBore XL, Cleveland Golf's most forgiving Driver. It's got a mold breaking shape for score-card-slashing forgiveness. It's all because we told A.I. to make the face bigger and keep weighting low and deep. What we got was this unique, triangular, confidence-inspiring chassis.
WHAT ULTIMATE FORGIVENESS LOOKS LIKE
With HiBore XL, we strove for ultimate forgiveness, which led us to its unique triangular shape. But how did we get here?
FORGIVING SHAPE
To make this our most forgiving Driver ever, we added an extra-large face. But a face this big adds head volume, so we tapered the sides. And by keeping the rear weight low and deep, our iconic triangle was born.
LARGER FACE
So why the larger face? Featuring 19% more face surface area than our previous Driver, HiBore XL offers approximately 17 more yards of distance on extreme off-center strikes*, and up to 24% fewer partially missed shots**.

BETTER SOUND
And because the triangular footprint helps reduce vibration in the sole and crown, the sound profile at impact is music to your (eyes and) ears after every piped tee shot.

TECHNOLOGY
A.I. SHAPING AND FACE
HiBore XL Lite features an innovative, A.I. design-assisted chassis for enhanced forgiveness and sound. And thanks to its big ball-striking area—one of the largest in the industry—HiBore XL Lite helps amateur golfers gain distance while keeping more tee shots in play.
DRAW BIASED, LIGHTWEIGHT BUILD
Weighing lighter than the standard HiBore XL Driver, HiBore XL Lite is designed to increase clubhead speed for better launch and distance. HiBore XL Lite was also built with internal draw-biased weighting, helping amateur golfers slice less often.
MAINFRAME XL
This remapped, A.I.-optimized variable thickness face pattern maximizes flex at impact to enlarge and reshape the sweet spot, improving energy transfer across the face for added forgiveness, consistency, and ball speed.
ACTIVWING
Throughout the swing, aerodynamic forces are generated between ActivWing and the oncoming airflow. These forces help achieve more consistent clubhead delivery at impact, which leads to better downrange performance and distance consistency.
ADJUSTABILITY
HiBore XL Lite Drivers feature our 1.5-degree adjustable hosel sleeve, giving golfers even more options for fine-tuning their loft, face, and lie angles.
ACTION MASS CB
An 8g weight tucked into the end of the shaft counterbalances the club for more control without extra effort. This counterweight helps the club feel lighter on takeaway and stay stable through impact.
