Golf Driver Powered by Altair Technology

Altair reports itslatest collaboration with Cleveland Golf, a golf equipment manufacturer, on the design of the new HiBore XL Driver. With Altair’s advanced simulation and design technology, Cleveland Golf reports it is enhancing golf equipment by expanding the limits of driver design.

“Altair’s technology and expertise is helping Cleveland Golf shape the future of golf—one swing at a time,” says Sam Mahalingam, chief technology officer, Altair. “Technologies like simulation, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, and digital twin are opening a new world of possibilities for sports equipment manufacturers. Altair is excited to see how leading manufacturers like Cleveland Golf can use these tools to transform the way professionals and nonprofessionals alike play their favorite sports.”

Cleveland Golf utilized products within the Altair HyperWorks platform to craft the HiBore XL, allowing the team to perform concept evaluation, rapid design exploration, physics-based simulation and optimization, and design for manufacturing, according to Altair. The flexibility of the Altair HyperWorks platform allowed Cleveland Golf to explore a multitude of feasible designs—an exploration that would have been impossible with physical testing alone.

“With the HiBore XL, we sought to equip players with a driver unbound by the traditional limits of shaping, delivering exciting new performance accomplishments. Altair empowered us with the technology to do just that,” says Jacob Lambeth, research engineering supervisor at Cleveland Golf. “We pride ourselves on being at the cutting edge, and today, that means embracing the market’s premier simulation and design software. Collaborating with Altair helps us innovate in brand-new ways and maintain our reputation for pushing the limits of club design.”
