So thank you Cleveland Hibore, I do not care about their shape and noise... Have you tried an oversized tennis racket? It is the same thing: it helps!

They really look very nice. The articles provided are long enough to provide great content but not so long as to be totally engrossing, if you know what I mean. Lilly

I have been a Cleveland player for years. I have owned TA5s, TA2s, CG4s, and all the woods. It would be a shame for clubs so easy to hit and marketed with PGA tour players to go away. I am glad that SRI has the chance to expand the great name of Cleveland Golf. The Hi-bore driver was a hit and I still use it to this day. Remember SRI, we want to hit the clubs, and wear the hats the guys on tour use. Keep the Cleveland line going! Thanks. I hope someone from SRI reads this and lets the Cleveland name alone.

SRI sports bought Cleveland Golf. Huge Difference. SRI and Cleveland are BOTH owned by SRI sports. Srixon therefore DOES NOT own Cleveland. They are subsidiaries of SRI.

I play the Srixon irons and left Mizuno to do so.... I also play the new WG-706 wedges - left Cleveland wedges to do so. My Driver is a TM Super Quad and 3 Wood is Titleist - I play what I belive in and what works for me. Srixon is a great brand and make kick ass hard goods not just great balls. My adage is try before you buy.... And don't knock it before you try it - or if you've never hit it! I think the acquisition is beneficial for both companies. I'm sure that alot of folks were surprised that Srixon had the juice to buy another premier brand. Most surprising to me was the fact that Srixon seems to target the niche market and Cleveland targets the mass market. Will be interesting to see how the brand differentiation shakes out... Just my opinion! Keep it in the short stuff! How about those people who don’t think Srixon makes great irons??? I play the Srixon irons and left Mizuno to do so….

At times, it is the best selling driver. for those who said that it's a flop, please do some research before you make such a false statement. it's great that some people like classic shaped drivers, but why aren't the major brands making them anymore? because classic shape is old technology. It's simply doesn't even come close to some of the "modern drivers" from a performance standpoint. If you rather choose a classic driver simply because you're more used to it, you're just fooling yourselves! a lot of people criticized metal woods(same way that people are criticizing geometry driven drivers) when they first came out, who's actually using them now? For those who complain about oddly shaped drivers, maybe you should go back to persimmon woods to be truly classic, otherwise, aren't you just a hypocrite? Back to the topic, I can only see good things come out of the merger. I look forward to seeing what both companies will be making in the near future.
