The Cleveland CG Black Driver is designed for players that have lost yardage and swing speed, and are looking to get their distance back.
At 265g, the Cleveland CG Black Driver is the lightest driver on the market. The reduced weight helps players generate more swing speed and distance with the same swing effort. The innovative, teardrop-inspired, Speed Crown Design reduces drag at all angles to further maximise distance. Cleveland's MaxCOR2 Variable Face Thickness Technology, that increases the trampoline effect on off-center hits, increases ball speeds off the face and makes the CG Black Driver more forgiving.
Another new feature on the Cleveland CG Black Driver is a weight screw located in the rear of the sole plate. This high-density screw positions the center of gravity deeper and lower to promote a high, draw-biased ball flight.
The Cleveland CG Black Driver is paired with a Miyazaki C. Kua shaft and Golf Pride Tour grip. The shaft weighs 39g and the grip weighs just 25g, which is about half as much as a standard grip. The combination further decreases the club's overweight to produce the fastest swing speed possible.

The 46 inch shaft on the Cleveland CG Black Driver is a quarter of an inch shorter than the XL 270 driver and it is very light and manageable. You would expect a shaft this long and light to be too whippy but the excellent Miyazaki construction gives it a nice firm feel and rigidity to perform as well as any more traditionally weighted shafts on the market.
The CG Black driver has a taller crown that slopes down more steeply down the Speed Crown Design to the back of the head that is also longer front to back than the XL270. At address it does look bigger and more similar to the SL290 and the dark colour scheme looks very classy.
The rear weight screw certainly helps the ball get airborne with a slight right to left flight so if you have a slower swing speed or hit your driver too low then the CG Black driver could be ideal for you. For those with more standard swings, then the Tour version with lower lofts and slightly heavier shaft options would be better.
The only negative was the sound from the larger head which was a little piercing on occasion, but if you like making an audible statement on the course then this driver is for you.
