Wow. Even if you are not in the market for a new driver, it is worth while taking this driver for a spin. It is remarkably lightweight, and swings so easily that you can feel an increase in your swingspeed. The ball pops off the face high and far. A lot of fun to hit, but too light for my personal taste. I prefered the feel, (lower) flight and slight increase in control that I got out of the SL290. But Cleveland have really gone all out on this driver and it will add 15 to 20 yards to a lot of player's games.

Tried the Cleveland XL270 with a stiff shaft. Looking down on the head at address fills you with so much conficence and the head sits nice and square behind the ball not like some new drivers that 'toe-in'. The 460cc head does not look as big as some 460cc's out there, the face looked slightly deeper to me which I liked. The club does feel great. Hit a number of balls and the carry you get with the club is amazing, does carry a long way and I was using a 9 degree. I was hitting into quite a strong wind and thought the distance was really good, it must go a mile down wind. I did lack a bit consistency but I put that down to the slightly longer shaft, at 5'6'' found the shaft a touch long. I was hitting most shots slightly to the right, not a slice but more of a straight push but again incredible distance when you catch one right out the middle, think a regular shaft would be for me. All in all a great club, try one with the correct shat flex and loft and you wont be disappointed.
