Cleveland Classic XL & XL Custom Driver Preview Thread

That is quite interesting. Did not even know that until you said it and I then went through the shopping page and saw it. Think its a swingweight thing or the lighter/longer more club head speed thing?

Probably longer/lighter = more club head speed type of thing.

OK guys, agree to disagree? Hahaha Funny that you responded at the same time with different opinions.

I found it interesting that on the edwin wats mailer, this club is the longest when hit in the center of the face. Now I just need to find the center.

Didn't it also get the nod on the bottom of the face as well? I don't often hit it down there, but it seems like a great feature. Maybe something to do with the depth of the face..

or wait...tee it low and control it. damn

Guess I need to get over my issue with teeing it low.

I learned from the best.. hah!!!

Teeing low for stingers? Tiger style?! Intriguing for windy days!! I am going to enjoy talking about the pending versatility of this thing.

Yeah, this club could be VERY versatile. I think I noticed it was less spinny as well. AWESOME

I like that its long when hit low on the face, as I hit it there from time to time.

Yeah, stingers, Tiger style. That's how I roll.

Seems like just a touch more spin from the original Classic. That fact definitely has me intrigued.

Lies!

@ClevelandGolf What is the reasoning for the JDL 5 coming in a half inch longer than other shafts in the XL Custom? Swingweight design?

@ClevelandGolf
.@mcook77_THP That's part of it. A little longer to help slower swing speed players generate more power.

That's what I thought. Good thing I cut mine down to 45"

I finally got to see one in person in the pro shop and holy cow are they sweet! Even the headcover with the new accent white is killer! This one had a Fubuki Tour in it, and the entire black and white color scheme with the headcover on was sick!!! (That's a good kind of sick)

You should have seen me in Hawaii. First 4 rounds were sustained 35-40 mph winds. Half of the holes I was rocking the Classic stinger style. It was pretty funny. I was outdriving the guys I was playing with by about 50 yards into the wind. I kid you not, one guy who fades/slices the ball hit a drive into the wind that only went 40 yards forward and 150 yards right.

Anyways, I imagine this year's XL will be equally versatile. I want one pretty badly. I'm getting ideal flight with my Classic 10.5 with the B. Asha 5x. I'm thinking a 9* with the 4x could be equally good.

Wowzers.

 

[Jman]

My jaw is ON the floor.

 

[Canadan]

The white is a shaft you're quite familiar with from previous years, is that accurate JB?

I really look forward to hearing how it works for you in the new Classic. And man, that combo looks awesome.

 

[#Cookie]

Color me jealous! Anxious to hear your thoughts on the head.

Oh mama....

It is the Kusala White from that line that I did enjoy using.

 

[Jersey Nate]

That should be a beauty of a combo, JB. Did you have to have the shaft tipped by Cleveland?
