first time post...hello to all....just wondering if anyone has tried both the hibore irons and the di7's...I really like the look of the di7 but wonder if the hibore might be more forgiving and longer...thanks

I have a set of Di7s and love them. Very long and very forgiving. The Hi-bores were not available when I purchased so cannot help on them but the Di7s were a great buy for me.

have you tried the Adams IDEA OS....they are lovely to play with, and are currently the number 1 hybrid on tour.

I've decided to demo the hibores in a week or 2 while on holidays...after that I'll have to make a choice...I have been looking at the adams also and I can demo them if I want to as well....Wish I could try the wilson's but they aren't on the demo list

Hi Toro57.

I have been playing for about a year now and play off 22. I could not hit anything below a 5 iron so tried various hybrids/rescues. I bought the Cleveland 2i and 4i and have never looked back!
I am able to hit both with relative ease from many different lies, be it tee, fairway (on the odd occasion!) or rough. I would swear by them.

Will be interested to see what you end up with. Good luck.

I agree, have 2 Cleveland Halos and they are great clubs but not sure how I would get on in the long term with a set of irons that are basically hybrids in design.

The demos arrived at noon today..Unwrapped the clubs and they were brand new...YAHOO....Got the hibore xl driver as well and it was brand new too...The driver worked well from the first tee on but it took me until the 6th hole to figure the irons out..turned out the lie was a bit different compared to my rac o.s. After adjusting for that the clubs worked out very nice...Going to get out 3 or 4 more times before I make a choice..They sure look pretty in my bag though

got out 2 more times and now I love these things...Hit more greens in reg and from places I should not have been than ever before..Found a set of demo di7's for about half price just to tease me I think...however the hibores will make their way into my bag..
