Not sure if you will read this as the video is a few months old now, but I will ask anyway. I have just come back to golf after after over 10 years away and I'm using my old clubs, one of which is the original Nike Sasquatch SQ driver (not the sumo). I would love to know how that compares to a modern driver. I have just looked online and that driver seems to be as rare as hens teeth so not sure you will easily find one to test. Maybe it's a collectors piece :)

I had the Cleveland Classic XL custom. I loved it!

Joeg Voll - 6 months ago

Damn! This video just raised the avg price on the XL on ebay, by $40!!! :o

Carrying 262 Brah! Bang On

ForTheLoveOfSeve - 7 months ago

Mark, I have that driver. Can I send you a 10 second vid of my swing please?

Tim Townsend - 7 months ago

I had the one before the XL the persimmon looking one and went miles when struck right.

Patrick Renzi - 7 months ago

that thing looks brand new

glasshalfool - 7 months ago

I had to switch to the Taylormade M5 so my naked torso wouldn't reflect off the matte carbon crown

David Guzik - 7 months ago

I have a Cleveland classic custom. Never thought twice of replacing it. Will always be in my bag

I absolutely crushed this driver a few years back. Very underrated club for sure. If they released a newer version I would buy it

Predatory Mistress - 7 months ago

i'm not very funny, guy

Dan Hugaboom - 7 months ago

Great stick, played one for several years. I’d like to see a review of another deep faced bomber - the Cobra S9-1 Pro D.

Alexander Perazza - 7 months ago

This was the first driver I ever bought, love the look of it

Jeff Young - 7 months ago

You could put it in the bag Mark after all you are sponsored by them, but to be honest I like the flat black finish on your newer one (turbo) better than the high gloss on that one, just for glare ☀️

Edward Miles - 7 months ago

I would love to see you test the Ping Rapture original driver. I think it’s tech was so ahead of its time it is still a relevant club today.

CARLOS ROSARIO - 7 months ago

Yes, been gaming a Classic XL Custom 7.5 and it is money, swapped the shaft and cranked it +.75. Great low spin option at a great price, highly recommend.

burnone walks - 7 months ago

love this driver,
still use it today

Grimzuhl - 7 months ago

Still playing the cobra bio cell plus still get really good numbers when I tested it last year to the new drivers.
RBZ stage 2 is a good one.. changed the shaft to a the Mitsubishi D+

Thierry Pilette - 7 months ago

Roses are red. Violets are blue. What's your average drive? Mark's is 262

Scott Dreyfus - 7 months ago

We got an adjustable version in the states. I played the version before in 7.5 with the myizaki 83x black. What a bomber it was.

Rob Smith - 7 months ago

Still game this driver with Grafalloy ProLaunch Red shaft. Accurate and still delivers distance, don’t see how another driver can do much better given their cost.

Weber Lai - 7 months ago

Oh my... I miss this driver so much! I bought this one after watching your review back in the days~ Such a great classic looking club! Doesn’t look like much tech in it but it’s performing well!!

Cat San - 7 months ago

Have this club but preferred the version that looked colourwise, like a Persimmon driver

ernest terry - 7 months ago

Ping G5

Andrew Natt - 7 months ago

What year was it? great looking club. Many thanks

Martin Dawson - 7 months ago

Better looking that cuurent Cleveland and XXIO...there said it...GMac bombed this didnt he? *Sponsored by Amber Solaire...

lazer Pug - 7 months ago

What about the mizuno 630 fast track.

Ed - 7 months ago

Actually bought the XL after your review, had it really cheap. Served me well and as you say, when middled, it was mad long! However misses were more punished and Ive really benifit from upgrading to a M1

steven clark - 7 months ago

I owned this club, it cost £44 brand new, bashed it senseless for around 3 years.gotta love a bargain

Mulligan1212 - 7 months ago

I just don't understand why Cleveland isn't more popular. Just bought a mint 290 SL with the Miyazaki shaft on eBay (28,- € plus 6,- € shipping) and it performs really well. The other Cleveland clubs i own (Classic 270 Driver, Mashie Fairways and Hybrids, TA3 Gunmetal irons and a few wedges) are just as good as any other top brand; yet they seem to be a lot less desirable. Why is that?

Stephan Jepards - 7 months ago

Can you please test the Bridgestone J33 R driver? I would love to know how that stacks up against current models.

John Donnelly - 7 months ago

That's great looking club

Simon Thorpe - 7 months ago

Cheers Mark, I was looking forward to the Cleveland review! Loving the series, most informative across YouTube at mo. Bottom line, handicap golfer doesn't need to spend £400 on a driver, nowhere near. I have the Cleveland SL290 driver, cost £29, I have never hit it better.

Xander Coomz - 7 months ago

I keep commenting that you should try an old Srixon W506. Still one of the longest drivers I’ve ever used. Talk to your sponsors and dig one out of the archives. Please?!

Chad Macgargle - 7 months ago

It's really a club that I have a lot of confidence with. That deep face. It's exactly what I want a driver to be. I have the custom classic xl, if I'd known the classic xl was fixed neck I would have gone with it.

sanchit verma - 7 months ago

Corssfield : Talks about the driver for 7:01 minutes.
Everybody : HE'S NAKED AT 0:59!!!

peter guildford - 7 months ago

I remember this came out about the same time as my Cleveland sl290, i tried it but decided i hit the sl290 further and straighter.

Steven Alwine - 7 months ago

That's one of those drivers where even now when I see a fellow with it in the bag I know not to bother to try making it a sporting game against. Dudes who like the Cleveland Classic enough to keep it in their bag over time have done their research and absolutely pound it.

Ian Boots - 7 months ago

Great looking driver, I also had the 3,5 woods... my issue was just couldn't trust it, the bad hits were shockers compared to other drivers i've had..

spud_.308 - 7 months ago

test request: Srixon Z-rw driver

David Glendinning - 7 months ago

Had the 3 and 5 wood of the classic xl range. Great clubs to hit from the tee, nice vid bruh

John Sadler - 7 months ago

Got the 3 & 5 for $50 each. Love them

John Sadler - 7 months ago

Thanks Mark. I still game the Custom version. Cost me $150. I can't see any reason to change. Thanks again budddy

Chris Farley - 7 months ago

I think the chuckle is changing from “oh I’ve hit it 262” to “oh I’ve hit it 272”. Love seeing your progress Mark! Keep bombing it brah.

Joe D - 7 months ago

These videos with the older drivers are really awesome!

dave palmerton - 7 months ago

Like all Cleveland drivers: no hype, low price, good results.

Nice to see you experimenting with affordable equipment. We have some new ideas up on our new channel. Would appreciate any feedback and subscribers.

Bradley Phelps - 7 months ago

I had this club and didn't get along with it, but loved the look.

Joshua Love - 7 months ago

Plz plz test a Cobra King Speed Ld. Best looking driver ever, sounded fantastic!!! Plenty for sale, cheap as chips!!

jmart5011 - 7 months ago

I have the 3 wood absolutely love it!

P Gowan - 7 months ago

You should test the Callaway Raze Fit driver. You tested it 8 years ago and didn't seem very impressed. I think with the way you swing now you will hit it a lot farther.

Dan Corun - 7 months ago

Great driver. Recently traded it in for the Launcher HB Turbo.

Jay Downey - 7 months ago

I have that club lol. Got it at a deep discount when it was new cause no one was buying it!

Ken Oath - 7 months ago

I still have the XL custom model, the most underrated driver of it's day.

Ryan Bryson - 7 months ago

I have the same 9.5 degree I love it

John Sadler - 7 months ago

Exactly.

k9feces - 7 months ago

Never heard a bad thing about these drivers

David Higgins - 7 months ago

Test Nike ignite driver 410

Jon Fink - 7 months ago

We all see that the speed training is working in that reflection.

Efan Ap Ifor - 7 months ago

As someone who chooses Cleveland drivers, I’d love to see the Classic re released

B E - 7 months ago

0:57 belly button.

Dustin - 7 months ago

The Cleveland Launch Driver was the greatest Cleveland Driver i've ever owned.

Steve Pond - 7 months ago

Mark, you wouldn't get that weak one you get where you just leave it out there, out the toe with twist face :P ;)

ESikora12 - 7 months ago

The sim screen cropped into the frame is messing with my brain! But I really enjoy it

Ian Collins - 7 months ago

Hi Mark little disappointed with this reveiw you forgot to mention the state of the grip lol Would like to see the R7 the one with the black red paint job and really light shaft

Darrell - 7 months ago

For giggles Mark, you need to find a Yonex ADX 300 driver, I had one and it was pretty long for its day.
The Mizuno Forged T-Zoid Driver was a beast in its heyday.
The Taylor Made R7 was a heck of a stick back in the day too!

I sure like these tests against older clubs to todays standards , there were some seriously good designs that are still very good today!

fretless 5 - 7 months ago

I love seeing reviews of classic clubs, particularly since I still play some. In that regard, I'd love to see how my current driver, the Adams 9088 UL compares with modern drivers. It's always been a great club that has had to be forgiving because of my game (upper teens handicap). Seeing these videos always make me think twice about the need for spending hundreds on a new club when my scores may well be from my lack of skill/practice.

Bret Gutknecht - 7 months ago

Holy Smoke! I have a problem..Been waiting/wondering for a couple days, waiting for your next vid. If you ever quit posting videos I will need medical intervention. "Hi, My name is Bret and I have a MC addiction."

Great Video....I'm your biggest Michigan fan. Bret

Ryan Horner - 7 months ago

Did you have to be shirtless to film the close ups? Nearly lost my dinner....

ohiomoto - 7 months ago

It's Cleveland, put it in the bag!!! :)

Golf Monthly Sales - 7 months ago

Very interesting. Any chance you could do a head to head with the new Cleveland Launcher and the classic xl?

Fat-Shot Golf - 7 months ago

Would have loved a swing with one of these clubs, never got the chance. Still a great club.

Mike Warmbold - 7 months ago

R7 quad

Richard James - 7 months ago

Still enjoying the series - don't remember this club but looked like a beast and delivered some good numbers - keep em coming Mark!

Rob Biles - 7 months ago

Going for a bit of nudity to up the views and subs I see Mark. #eyecandy

Brendan Coleman - 7 months ago

Is the screen added in the edit, like is it just a net with a laptop behind the camera? If so it really helps visualise it thank you

ferdivedaasje - 7 months ago

Looks a lot like the driver I’m gaming, the Srixon Z565. I can’t imagine it leaving my back anytime soon, the look and feel is what I prefer. I love this series, it really demonstrates the state of ‘development’ in the industry.

Ceaterabass_ 502 - 7 months ago

driver reflection bruh! :) i now have Joe Cocker stuck in my head hahahahaha.

Ben Ware - 7 months ago

I've got a classic XL custom with x flex black tie shafts and an Aldila RiP 43" x flex shaft for sale if anyone in the UK feels inspired! Mark even fitted custom fit me for it, must be worth more for that reason alone

Simon Sez - 7 months ago

TM R7 do it Mark

Deke Dak - 7 months ago

I still game the Cleveland classic. Have attempted to replace it but it just keeps hanging on

John Greenhalgh - 7 months ago

I'm a big fan of Cleveland drivers they have made some great ones over the years. Unfortunately this club wasn't one of them.

Euge140 - 7 months ago

I said it in your previous video.
Can you do a test on the Nike Covert 2.0 I bought my name based on you review and usage at the time. Looked good, but I will admit that I wasn't quite good enough to use it properly. It is still in my cupboard, so may I will bring it out again 1 day.

matthew smith - 7 months ago

I used to game a callaway ft-iz driver, that thing had the shallowest face. Much prefer a deeper face. Checking this one out, wasn't on my radar at all, thanks for the heads up!

ajaytuk - 7 months ago

It was interesting listening to you breathing on this video- I get the sense ( apologies if this is not the case) you are holding your breath-just for kicks as it reduces tension ( ie increases speed) exhale as you start your down swing , just like the grunting tennis players :-)

Gee Splett - 7 months ago

....and in the end , there is just a computer guessing distance, shape etc. ...........

George Thompson - 7 months ago

For under 50 quid it's an absolute bargain and the sound was lovely. Not tinny and very satisfying. Great video

david groom - 7 months ago

I had the brown one - very similar deep face - great club

Solomon Li - 7 months ago

Awesome! Love this series.

Simon Hobbs - 7 months ago

Love this series.

Gotcha Finally - 7 months ago

Btw Mark, Taylormade R580 driver. I used to sell them nearly as much as the 2ball back in mid-noughties for fun. Would love to see your numbers for them.

If you want to give another Cleveland club a go, I recommend the original and beautiful Launcher. That is still my 3 wood lol.

Ryan Delannoy - 7 months ago

I remember when you did the review of this club when it was new. Lol

Boyce Mark - 7 months ago

Just looking at both, Srixon and Cleveland drivers. New enough to the game and building up a set of clubs. Cleveland Tour Action Ta2 Irons on ebay, superb, even for a relatively new golfer. Just bagged a deal on the Srixon Z F45 4 wood, (one you reviewed I think, possibly the 3 wood version?) new for under €100. Keep em coming.

Gotcha Finally - 7 months ago

I still keep the Ping G2 Driver incase my newer driver is acting up for a prolonged spell.

Marcus Caple - 7 months ago

This is was my first ever driver. Bought it on eBay for £50 in 2016. Absolutely loved it.

Tony DG - 7 months ago

What about a taylormade super quad?

Stephen Cutting - 7 months ago

I had this a few years ago but didn't like it. Love the looks of it but I was shite with it

William Hurst - 7 months ago

Just sold one of these and absolutely loved it. So easy to hit for beginners or high handcappers due to that massive face. Thanks very much for the review Mark.

Ed Tollway - 7 months ago

I'm still gaming this club. Produces the longest drives for me.

Billtvshow.com - 7 months ago

I'm still playing the original classic, haven't hit a better driver before or after.

gogg111 - 7 months ago

me too, for 5 yrs now I think.. loving it

David Copland - 7 months ago

me to it will take something special to replace it in my bag

madskrillz2 - 7 months ago

My friend had one of these and I always thought it dropped bombs. Definitely a sleeper club.

Adam Flynn - 7 months ago

Try the srixon 403AD driver... It came in conforming and non conforming versions... I had both.
Was a good driver but tough to find in uk

candork1 - 7 months ago

Enjoy these reviews always enjoy your content! How about the Callaway FT-Tour?

Barry Mottershead - 7 months ago

Length length length tech tech tech you said years ago. These reviews show nothing has really changed. I presume this is down to the tolerances imposed

At the end of this test Mark you should put them in a league, £ per yard!

Oooh my old driver, i’m useless with a driver but this seemed to keep me out the long stuff not a big hitter but it went decent distance if i managed to get anywhere near the center

Christopher Yee - 7 months ago

Love this series. Any chance you can find a Taylormade SuperTri? Thanks.

Adam Jackson - 7 months ago

Classic vid of a classic driver from a classy guy. Good stuff, bruh.

Captain Zed - 7 months ago

You should get a Nike VR Pro to test. These were just before the red ones

Alex K - 7 months ago

Try the Bridgestone J40 430 Driver, absolute underdog

david hopkins - 7 months ago

yonex nanospeed

Cace Smith - 7 months ago

The Cleveland XL is a cult classic! For less than $50 that's a hell of a deal for an incredibly consistent driver.

Gaz J - 7 months ago

I've been waiting weeks for this Mark!! I bomb my Classic, deep face, tee it high and watch it fly!!!!!

Stefano Rosa - 7 months ago

Put your shirt on Mark! 00:59 lol

Simon Wall - 7 months ago

Love the self portrait classic xxxl style

EV MOLLET - 7 months ago

R 580 Driver please... stll using the 5 wood and i love it.

Simon Wall - 7 months ago

Callaway steelhead 111 is still in my collection and great for links courses and windy days as it’s a 9 degree, interesting to see you hit a steel shafted driver like mine ?

Nick Hickman - 7 months ago

Remember the one that came out before the XL with the brown head (think it was just called the Classic)? Would play that in a heartbeat if Cleveland re-released it.

Nick Hickman - 7 months ago

@Tim Grant Think Mark needs to lean on his Cleveland deal and get a new one made!

Tim Grant - 7 months ago

The Cleveland classic 290. I still game it today!

Craig Brand - 7 months ago

Callaway ERC want to see if the spring face makes a difference against today's drivers?

EV MOLLET - 7 months ago

One Cleveland classic driver 47,20, a beautyfull sunny day.. for free, a golfers playfrond in tha backyard a few 100 quid.... a feflection of something sexy in the driver... priceless..

Dan Waite - 7 months ago

Would love to see you review the titleist 910 d3 again, I still play it and nothing I've tried in the last few years has beat its performance... Oh and it's cheap now!

David John - 7 months ago

Wonderful Driver!!

Rikki Styles - 7 months ago

I still have the custom version of that driver with a miyazaki tour shaft that came stock, I always called mine Black Beauty. Custom xl came with 12 adjustments as well. Anyone interested let me know, in very good condition. I'm now switching back and forth between the Srixon 545 and a m4. More the m4 now I have found the correct miyazaki shaft, fairway finder.

Matt Gagnon - 7 months ago

Own this, still playing, not the longest, great fairway finder.

Michael Barrett - 7 months ago

Can get them on eBay, brand new for around £60. Great series Mark

atomant830 - 7 months ago

Love the series Mr Crossfield,
Cleveland is known for their wedges but they have made other clubs that were very good. That driver and the 588 custom driver that followed were good drivers the 588 custom I think was their first interchangeable neck driver that also came with addtional weights that adjusted the CG.

John Sadler - 7 months ago

The Classic also came out as the Custom Classic with adjustable neck. great club

John Monteagudo - 7 months ago

How about a comparison for fairway woods. SPECIFICALLY THE OLD TAYLOR MADE V steel with their current 3 wood?

Paul Golfer - 7 months ago

R7 super quad would love to see you hit this.....Think these videos just show new drivers really are a waste of money it's more about looking good Infront of your mates

Dan Glover - 7 months ago

This is still in my “travel set”. If I go on vacation to play I’m bringing old reliable. One of the best drivers ever made. Actually want it to take the spot of my M3 in my everyday lol. If Cleveland puts out a new version of this, I’m buying it.

tony coxon - 7 months ago

hey mark loving the classic clubs can you do a video on the most forgiving driver ever?thanks again

James Shewmaker - 7 months ago

Good content but if you tire of golf instruction maybe adult films with that shape fella? Jokes aside thank you and coach

Ryan Davis - 7 months ago

Just got one today £16 off ebay with a tour x stiff shaft.

Steve Adkins - 7 months ago

Hanging the club with the new swing? Taking a page from Coach’s book?

Gary - 7 months ago

I bought a titleist D3 910 fr £50 a couple of years ago, really like it, but with hind sight I might have been better with searching for a D2 because it spins up a little for me.

Nigel Plain - 7 months ago

ping g20 0r 25

Malcolm Carr - 7 months ago

Still got the 12° on a senior shaft in my bag & trying to game it, problem is my swing speed has risen to mid 80s & Head is in front of my hands at strike so I get slice, hook or straight in any 3 of 5 swings (on vid do not just blaming the tool). I love the club but waiting for my new Cobra SZ to arrive (in reg shaft)

Richard Schneider - 7 months ago

Had this club and really liked it traded for a new Callaway, the Callaway cost me a lot more similar results.

Colin Scott - 7 months ago

No pants at 500K subscribers!!!!!

Brett Harris - 7 months ago

I don't remember this club when was it released?

Brett Harris - 7 months ago

Although I'm someone that has bought a new driver it just shows how little they have improved recently

Gaz J - 7 months ago

2012/2013... The Maroon and gold Classic came out first in 2012 which I game, its a bomber... These Black classics came later in 2013,there's a glud hosel like this or an adjustable as well....

Jeff Cretella - 7 months ago

A good craftsman never blames his tools

NowisEvollovetion - 7 months ago

Golf clubs only cost a 'small amount' of money to make, as they are manufactured in such large numbers. And, the vast majority of the cost of a driver actually goes towards paying those professional golfers who put their name to them. Along with the 'massive costs' associated with global advertising.

Jeff Cretella - 7 months ago

New podcast. Subscribed!

Keith Finley - 7 months ago

I used the GMac brown and gold version. Good driver.
