So a spoon is really just a nickname for a 3 metal or 3 wood. So confusing is golf some times.

Yesterday I wrote about the Cleveland HiBore XLS driver and compared it to last years XL. In that article I said I wouldn’t spend the bones to upgrade just yet, however this one I would. I stopped carrying a 3 wood for the last 5-6 years as I just couldn’t find one I couldn’t hit. I traded it for a 2 Hybrid. However after getting Trev this XLS I’m SOLD. It has a very low profile but a larger head (from volume) that creates some great stability. The face is relatively flat on the bottom and has a great shape on the sole plate that won’t let you dig it in an chilly dip it.

Now how do I convince my wife I need this bad enough to spend the $179?
