So when is a hybrid, not a hybrid? Is it when it's a highwood? And when is a fairway wood? Not a fairway wood. Is it when it's a highwood? Yep, it is of course the Cleveland Highwood and it's very much the review that you've all been asking for and put me onto this club and we're gonna find out what makes it so special? Right, so the first question I ask myself is what is so special about this club and what makes it so different? Well, quite simply, it is a hybrid of hybrids and fairways and it is a shorter shaft, that shaft being the length of a standard hybrid with a head, the size of a fairway wood. That coupled with 18 degrees aloft, it's suggesting it's a three highwood and it's certainly not a three fairway wood and it's closer to a three hybrid in terms of distance. It feels very good, let me tell you already. It performs exceptionally well in a number of different situations. So it's very much a positive start out there on the fairways but I've come back inside full golf chestnut and what I wanna see from this is what I might actually get in terms of data. So what I'm really interested in for this club, in particular, is the carry distance and spin and descends. They're probably the three things I'm looking because what I wanna know is where does this possibly fit into your bag set up? It's 18 degrees, but what does it really do in terms of performance comparable to maybe an 18 degree five wood, for example? Time to find out, I think. Okay, so the first thing for me is what I wanna see is what this thing does with just a sort of, an easy swing. So we're not going after this, we've just, we've got a green set up, we're playing a nice par three out of dead mana, which is, I think, a couple of hundred yards from tea to green. So an easy one to start proceedings. Okay, so slightly down that left-hand side, it's an okay-ish start. And interestingly enough, we're kind of like, we're top-end of that sort of 180 creeping into, perhaps, 190. So the second shot, because I really do think this is a very playable club and also a very versatile, I just wanna add a little bit more to it and see if we can perhaps just change the shape a little as well. That's a much better strike, much higher ball flight and a lot longer, I would say. We're still down that left-hand side turn, that one over a bit, but the carry difference changes significantly, that's 207 carry. So straight away, we've got some significant sort of versatility in this thing in terms of how far the ball can actually travel. So I love that first of all. I'm gonna finish off with my last shot, which is sort of, if I'm playing from the tea and I want a bit of distance and I'm sort of going after this thing, I'm swinging the ball quite well, I know the club quite well. How far can we get with this thing? Of absolutely more of that is the technical term, I think. That's gonna a long, long way. Yeah, that's carried very much that back under the green and topping out as I thought, well, a little bit longer than I thought to be quite honest with you from what I've been seeing out on the course. So there is clearly a lot of versatility in this club in terms of how it can be played, which can not often be said about your typical three wood. So I suppose the question is, what is it that gives me the confidence to perhaps try those three different shots? And I think first of all, it's gonna be mentioned quite a lot during this video. It's the control again that this shorter length shaft gives. So that combination, shorter shaft, bigger head, but it says 18 degrees, but it seems to present a lot more loft visually than 18 degrees. Crowns, it's really nice and address and it just, for me, visually just gives me a whole lot of confidence, like I said, from how close I am to the ball perspective, length of shaft. I just feel I've got plenty of control over that clubbed. Really, really sort of impressed with how this thing is performed inside. Now, don't really catch in the sound or not, that's a really high ball again. I mean, really decent strike there. It's performing incredibly well. I don't know whether you're catching the sound, sorry, is what I was saying. It's a good balance. It's a good balance between this thing feels like it's firing on out there. You've got plenty of responsiveness into the ends. It is again, ticking all the boxes inside here at four golf. There's not a lot more I can tell you to be quite honest with you. We've seen the kind of carry distances. I think it's a case of going back out to the course. Now, one thing you've got to get right is no matter how good the politics in terms of performance, for me, first of all, you've got to get people in, you've got to get people trying it. So, shelf appealing how this thing looks for me is really, really important, especially for Cleveland, because Cleveland, I always think of slightly up against it. They've got to get that club in people's hands. And when they do, from what I see and what I read from comments, mostly at a really, really impressed with it. It's also got to be right in terms of price points. So, this product is 209 in terms of the UK. That's the kind of price point, 200 pound. That's where I'm seeing it for. In terms of how it looks, I think it looks really, really good. I think they've done an exceptional job. The sort of, again, that muted matte crown looks absolutely superb. But then I think from the underneath perspective, again, where it sits what you see on the shelf, really good colouring, not too over the top, nice and subtle. And again, then rails are really important. You can see slightly raised rails on the bottom there, which we'll talk about next. So, if you aren't new to the channel, then please consider subscribing. I am very much the average golfer. If you're a long time viewer of the channel, when then, well, thanks for watching. Yeah, back to me inside just for a second or two. Just wanted to show you this dry ball data off or a number of shots. And like I said, trying a variety of different shot types. But what you'll see is it's, that as we shown in those first three strikes, I hit inside very much can control the difference from sort of that top end of 180. But then the kind of one that you go after is, I think it's two, 12 or something. But again, the spin drops off considerably when you try and hit that knuckleball. So, yeah, interesting, good peak height, good descent angle, you can see the launch angle. It's basically reiterating the points that we found in here and it seems like on the course as well. Yeah, back out on the course for evaluation time. And I think this is where you truly learn how a club performs. And I've got to say, like, it does everything so, so well. Maybe the surprise for me and the thing you need to be careful of is just to make sure that what you're expecting in terms of distance, so when you see a three high wood, don't be confused. Like I said, is it being a fair way wood in terms of distance? Because it's nothing like that. Clearly that's sure to shaft plays a big part in that. But for me, that was the key takeaway, point in terms of what I found in terms of distance. Yeah, in dry ball data, but more importantly, in reality, out here on the golf course. But like I said, if you want a club that, everyone, not everyone, a lot of golf has struggled with hitting a ball from a lie on the fairway with a three wood. This makes it a damn sight easier. Also, if you're struggling off the tee, this would be a nice go-to club to help you out to get a bit of confidence back. It, again, does it really well? It's really just reiterated the points we continually make on this channel about that shorter shaft really. I think that's the big again takeaway point. It's just having great control. And the thing zips off it. At times, it almost feels illegal the way it's trampleing and out there. It's fast ball speeds. It's so, so good. As you can tell, really, really, maybe even almost a tad surprised just how good it is. And I'll tell you how good it is. It's going to go straight in my bag. And the reason it's going to do that, it's going to fill a void that I've been trying to fill for a long, long time. And that's a club that I really like at the sort of 210 yardage. Always have struggled with a lot of different hybrids. But for me, this kind of thing fits the bill. Goes in at 210. And oddly enough, it's shorter than my 18-degree five wood. So like I said, loft is only one small part of the equation. There's lots of things to consider. We've gone on enough. You've seen it from inside in terms of dryball day. You've seen it performing outside here. Thank you for giving me the heads up in terms of all the people who told me that I should have a look at this thing. I really do. Oh, you want because I love it. Anyway, thanks for watching. Give me your comments down below. Get me your feedback. And I will see you all soon. Thanks for watching. This has been the average golfer from Holywell Golf. Well, bye for now.
