Real Hibore? Take a look please
Please take a look and let me know what you think. I cannot tell if the coloring is off or if it is a poorly taken photo. The ".5" in 8.5 looks too large as well. I know fleabay is not a great place to pick up drivers but I've had a tough time finding used but still in top notch condition anywere else - so I'm open to suggestions if you know of any out there.

Thanks

It looks a little fishy. The picture of the bottom looks suspect, the lines seem off and why does the person feel the need to show the picture of the receipt and the used wraper the club head came in. The shaft looks legit and the grip but I don't know something doesn't seem right IMO.

I don't know Bames, I compared it to my non tour 10.5 and the CG on the heel that are superimposed over each other look different. But like I said, mine isn't a Tour model so maybe they are supposed to be different?

The TGW invoice is definitely legit, I've seen lots of those...

Looks pretty legit to me, good seller with lots of positive feedback. Then again, I'm no expert on Cleveland drivers.

When you consider the huge shipping costs on the E-bay stuff I can usually do better at Global, CallawayOutlet or one of the other places where I know the club is legit. It does look okay to me but it's always a risk with E-bay.

Looks legit to me but I'd opt for one with a better aftermarket shaft for that $$. The red shaft pretty well sucked for me. Also, an 8.5* is going to be a beast in that head. Very, very low spin and wide open. I'd not recommend it for anyone that doesn't bring about 115mph. with a massive draw and a superb launch angle.

B,

Here's the HiBore I had. Looks pretty much the same.

Thank you gentlemen. The coloring just looked off to me last night. I'm looking at a few right now and will check out the Globalgolfs of the industry before I buy. Appreciate the help,

Bames

Cloners are too smart to waste their time making fake hi-bores.

Lol Rock, "Pretty much the same." That's the idea, right?

Hey, if someone buys my fakes, I'm doing something right.

I looked at that too, but I think it's just the flash. The pic I posted has no flash, the other does.
