Professional Cleveland Launcher

The Cleveland Launcher driver introduced in late 2008 performs well with a solid feel and sound, but the stock shaft may be tricky for some golfers. Now the revamped Cleveland Launcher comes back with higher performance.

 

On the tee box, the Launcher's 460cc frame produces a stable and forgiving high MOI head that doesn't look oversized. So you won't look like your teeing up with sledgehammer. With a name like Launcher, you'd expect this driver to produce a nice mid-trajectory penetrating ball flight that goes long. The Cleveland Launcher did just that and delivers a nice medium-high trajectory ball flight that pierces through the air and goes a long distance even after the ball lands.

 

The thin crown technology used in the Launcher took all the weight from the crown and moved it deeper and lower in the driver for improved center of gravity, optimized launch, and maximum distance. This is one way the Launcher produced drives that would carry anywhere from 5-7 yards longer.

 

The face of the Launcher as mentioned earlier is 21% larger than its predecessors and designed that way to provide more room for error on miss-hits. The larger face gave me a lot of confidence that I would crush my drive, even if I was a little off in my downswing. On miss-hits the Launcher would produce drives that were much straighter, thanks to the horseshoe-shaped perimeter weighting on the rear of the sole.

 

The horseshoe-shaped weight pad is designed to improve your launch conditions and provide stability on your miss-hits, by lowering the center of gravity and increasing the MOI. In my tests I found that my shots were more accurate, easy to shape, and forgiving on my miss-hits. This doesn't mean that the Launcher will correct a slice or hook, but your misses will be not as severe and will still go almost as far as drive hit on the sweet spot.

 

Its feature is undoubtedly the price - at least $100 cheaper than new offerings including the TaylorMade R7 Limited, Callaway FT-iQ or Ping Rapture V2, without a dramatic loss of performance or any reduction in the quality of the materials used in the head or shaft.
