Cleveland Drivers - opinions...

Just wondering if anyone has any opinions on the Cleveland drivers, specifically the Cleveland HiBore XLS Monster Driver Draw and the Cleveland Launcher Driver Gold 2009

Also, whats the difference between the Red & Gold for the Launcher, both are available at the same price on the site above.
One of the main reasons I'm considering them, is that they come with a free fairway wood, which I need to upgrade too, so 2 for the price of one seems a good deal.

Red are aimed towards low handicappers with higher swing speeds.

XLS is a seriously ugly driver to look down on IMO.

Yeah got the 08 XLS version and find it relatively easy to use, good driver.

I’ve no issue looking down on the club head, and don’t find it ugly in anyway… each to their own

I use the 08 XLS and I think it looks nice. It is quite a noisy driver though. When you really hit one it makes a big noise. I like this! I used my brothers Callaway driver last week and was really disappointed with the noise, even though it went about 20 yards further.

I am also tempted to upgrade to the Monster XLS, partly because of the free fairway wood, and the reduction in price recently.

Thanks for the replies folks - think I'll just get to the range and check them out along with a couple more drivers to see if I can find what suits me.

Anyone else have any recommendations?
