Cleveland 588 Custom Driver, Fairway Woods and Hybrids

Published

on

Cleveland Golf’s new 588 Custom driver <<< See Full Review Here >>> is more adjustable than the company’s recently released 588 Altitude driver, and has more weight positioned lower in the head to raise launch angle and lower spin.

The 588 Custom is an all-titanium 460-cubic-centimeter design with an adjustable weight in the rear of the sole that allows golfers to fine tune swing weight. The driver’s adjustable hosel has 12 different settings, with a 3-degree range of loft and lie adjustability and a 4.5-degree range of face angle adjustability.

It is available in lofts of 9 and 10.5 degrees, and comes stock with a 45.5-inch Matrix 6Q3 shaft (R, A, S and X flexes, D5 swing weight).

Cleveland is also releasing 588 fairway woods and hybrids that like the 588 Custom driver have enhanced variable face thicknesses to maximize distance on center strikes and offer more forgiveness on mishits, as well as rear sole plugs and advanced wall constructions that push the clubs’ center of gravity lower in the club heads.

The fairway woods are available in lofts of 14, 15.5, 18 and 20.5 degrees with a Matrix 6Q3 shaft (R, A, S and X flexes, D5 swing weight). The hybrids, which incorporate Cleveland’s Gliderail sole (two rails with subtle center keel on the sole to decrease turf drag), are offered in lofts of 18 (H2), 20.5 (H3), 23 (H4) and 26 (H5) degrees with Matrix’s Ozik Altus shaft (R, A, S and X flexes, D4 swing weight).

All three clubs will be available at retail on Feb. 7. The driver will sell for $349.99, the fairway woods will sell for $199.99 and the hybrids will sell for $169.99.

    Good looking club. If it performs, I’ll take a look. Also like the new Wilson driver…both appear to be good value quality clubs.
    Looking forward to hitting them both

    I think Clevelands are maybe the most under rated clubs. I think their quality is high and price is decent. Don’t see why more people don’t hit them.

    They are very good value clubs. Mid and up caps won’t go wrong here.

    In my opinion, Cleveland is underrated in the woods department. The Launcher 270UL/290SL/310TL/and fairway woods were great clubs as was the Classic line of woods.

      I have to agree… I’ve tried to kick my TL310 out of my bag and still can’t beat it after 3 years of trying every other driver on the planet. I have not tried the 588 as I want to stay with a sub-460cc driver..

    These wont sell like the rest of their woods. Their wedges remain solid but their woods and irons really don’t sell that well.

Inside Collin Morikawa’s recent golf ball, driver, 3-wood, and “Proto” iron changes

Published

on

As you probably know by now, Collin Morikawa switched putters after the first round of The Masters, and he ultimately went on to finish T3.

The putter was far from the only change he made last week, however, and his bag is continuing to change this week at the 2024 RBC Heritage.

On the range of The Masters, Morikawa worked closely with Adrian Reitveld, TaylorMade’s Senior Manager of Tour at TaylorMade, to find the perfect driver and 3-wood setups.

Morikawa started off 2024 by switching into TaylorMade’s Qi10 Max driver, but since went back to his faithful TaylorMade SIM – yes, the original SIM from 2020. Somehow, some way, it seems Morikawa always ends up back in that driver, which he used to win the 2020 PGA Championship, and the 2021 Open Championship.

At The Masters, however, Rietveld said the duo found the driver head that allowed “zero compromise” on Morikawa’s preferred fade flight and spin. To match his preferences, they landed on a TaylorMade Qi10 LS 9-degree head, and the lie angle is a touch flatter than his former SIM.

“It’s faster than his gamer, and I think what we found is it fits his desired shot shape, with zero compromise” Rietveld told GolfWRX.com on Wednesday at the RBC Heritage.

Then, to replace his former SIM rocket 3-wood, Morikawa decided to switch into the TaylorMade Qi10 core model 13.5-degree rocket head, with an adjustable hosel.

“He likes the spin characteristics of that head,” Rietveld said. “Now he’s interesting because with Collin, you can turn up at a tournament, and you look at his 3-wood, and he’s changed the setting. One day there’s more loft on it, one day there’s less loft on it. He’s that type of guy. He’s not scared to use the adjustability of the club.

“And I think he felt our titanium head didn’t spin as low as his original SIM. So we did some work with the other head, just because he liked the feel of it. It was a little high launching, so we fit him into something with less loft. It’s a naughty little piece of equipment.” 

In addition to the driver and fairway wood changes, Morikawa also debuted his new “MySymbol” jersey No. 5 TP5x golf ball at The Masters. Morikawa’s choice of symbols is likely tied to his love of the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team.

Not enough changes for you? There’s one more.

On Wednesday at the 2024 RBC Heritage, Morikawa was spotted with a new TaylorMade “Proto” 4-iron in the bag. If you recall, it’s the same model that Rory McIlroy debuted at the 2024 Valero Texas Open.

According to Morikawa, the new Proto 4-iron will replace his old P-770 hollow-bodied 4-iron.

“I used to hit my P-770 on a string, but sometimes the distance would be a little unpredictable,” Morikawa told GolfWRX.com. “This one launches a touch higher, and I feel I can predict the distance better. I know Rory replaced his P-760 with it. I’m liking it so far.”
