Curious to try out a set of Cleveland Launcher HB irons or the older Hibore XLi irons. Also interested in a Hibore XL/XLS driver and/or 3w.

Ain't nobody got some Hibore irons they can set me up with? There's a sweet, mint set of them on Kijiji for ~$130 but they're Lefties....
Someone is selling a right-handed set on Kijiji for $115.
Thanks. I've been in touch with that fellow and it's the older hibores (not XLi) and the paint is quite chipped on the crowns which is always the issue with the hibores, like the earlier TM white putters that look like hell after a while.Quote:

I also used to have the CB3 irons which came out after the XLi line (even had headcovers for each club!) but stupidly sold them off to go to a better player's iron.
Then I noticed I have tons of tech in my driver(s) to help keep it straight and long....I have a goofy assortment of putters with every non-cheating angle known to golf engineered into them, and I've been playing with Cleveland niblicks/smart sole wedges for the past few years. So why play irons that break that pattern?
Anyway, I'm hoping to find a set of relatively mint XLi or later irons similar to the gorgeous set for lefties on Kijiji - doesn't look like the owner even LOOKED at them (which can cause scratches to the paint with these hibores, btw). I may also pick up some Hibore specific touch-up paint but the tiny bottles they sell won't go far given all the surface area to cover with these..."beauties" ;)
I hear ya. The XLIs came with headcovers too, which I never used. It’s a very forgiving shape. Mizuno made some JPX Fli His in the shape one year, the 2011s, but they only went up to 6 or 7, not a full set.Quote:

Last call before I shutter my garage Pro Shop....anyone have the Launcher HB irons or a minty set of XLi irons? I'd be interested in buying or perhaps trade (+/- cash) for my Ping set with Aerotech Steelfiber shafts or my Adams XTD forged......perhaps even my square groove BeCu Ping Eye2 irons!
