Confirmed via Plugged In Golf's HiBore XL driver review (pluggedingolf.com/cleveland-hibore-xl-driver-review/): 'There's a hosel adjustment that spans three degrees of loft and a weight port at the back.' Cross-checked against National Club Golfer's review ('1.5-degree adjustable hosel') and 2nd Swing's spec table (+/- 1.5 degrees); a three-degree total span and a plus-or-minus 1.5 degree range describe the same hosel. Classified to cleveland-launcher-xl-qts on two independent vendor fits-lists selling one physical sleeve across both lines: Adore Golf Grips' 'Shaft Adaptor Cleveland Drivers - 0.335 Tip (HiBore XL/Launcher XL)' and Diamond Tour Golf's Cleveland driver adapter page ('This adapter will work with the following Cleveland drivers: HiBore XL Driver, HiBore XL Lite Driver, Launcher XL 2 Drivers, Launcher XL Drivers'). Neither vendor uses the QTS name; the classification rests on the shared physical part.
