Cleveland Custom 588 Driver Explosive Distance Giveaway
Driver giveaway? Does that mean a free driver? Yes, for three lucky participants, that’s exactly what it means.
In its Explosive Distance Giveaway, Cleveland Golf is awarding a 588 Custom driver to three winners who will be chosen at random in a contest that is running from now until June 30. All you need to do is click here, enter your first name, last name and e-mail address and wait to see if you get picked. That’s it.
The Cleveland Custom 588 driver that came out this year produces lower spin and higher launch than any driver in Cleveland’s catalog, and features two loft options (9 and 10.5 degrees) with 12 additional settings to tune the loft. Also, the driver has a weight port on the back of the club with three variable weights (3, 7 and 11-grams) to fit the golfer’s swing speed and preference.
Cleveland’s 588 Custom Driver retails for $349 and comes equipped with a Matrix Ozik 6Q3 shaft.

Why Ben Griffin is making the surprising switch to a Maxfli golf ball
Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.
While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.
“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.
“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.
“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”
Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.
It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.

I would love to get a new driver!!! Been using an OLD R9 and can’t stop slicing the ball. My buddy has an old classic by Cleveland and he absolutely loves it! Hope to get a new stick and show it off to all the boys on our Tuesday league! Thanks Cleveland, wouldn’t expect anything less!

I just entered. This is the only club missing from my Cleveland fanboy setup. I don’t deserve to win, since all but 2 of my many Cleveland clubs were purchased 2nd hand, but a guy can dream can’t he?

Why all these giveaway contests are only for US residents? I am not a US resident but am a WRXer and I can provide a shippimg address within continental US. I believe there are plenty of us in the same situation.
WRX please do something in this respect.
Thanks

This is not a GolfWRX giveaway, as it’s run by Cleveland Golf.

Zac, I know this is not a GolfWRX giveaway but it is done through GolfWRX , so I thought GolfWRX could just ask the giveaway company to take this into accoun for future giveaways

Antonio,
This is purely a Cleveland giveaway. We’re just spreading the word so that one of our readers might have a chance to win.
Thanks.

This one is open to US and CDN residents. I too am tired of US-only campaigns. Good for Cleveland.
