Spoiler number 2, I shot 77 as well my second round out with the Launchers. First time breaking 80 on a course other than a par 70. It was a par 71.

Interested in seeing this and how you mount it. I'm always contemplating videoing some of my rounds.

I've been half tempted to get one of those "auto-follow" camera drones, just for fun...

Great time had on my home course today at Lane Creek with the Cleveland Launcher HB irons.  Without jumping into the stage 2 info I can tell you this.  Myself and Wedgie are happier than a redneck in a tobacco chewing contest!

Wedgie hit a Cleveland Launcher HB iron into #3 at Lane Creek and you'll see the results on the next video.  Here's your teaser:

We ride up to take a closer look and:

You can see by the ball mark his ball came to rest just a short distance from where it landed.  I'll let him chime in with the club selection he used. 

 

Hot damn, what a shot. So close!!

For those curious I hit 7 iron. 148 to the flag with no wind. Club did what it said it would do, high with soft landing.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this testing so far. I will say that I didn't really want to like these irons since I'm a Callaway homer, but these things are legit.  I may have to make some bag changes when this thing is over. 

In my bag:

 

Callaway Epic Subzero with Aldila Rogue Max 75 Stiff shaft

Callaway Rogue Subzero with Project X Evenflow 6.0 75g stiff shaft

Callaway Rogue 3 Hybrid with Aldila Synergy 60 HYB stiff shaft

Callaway Apex irons (4-PW) with True Temper XP 95 stiff shafts

Callaway MD3 wedges (50/54/58)

Due to my back nerve pinching hip pain issue, I'll be taking a few days off to let the inflammation cool down.  I'm not a golf tech kind of type however hopefully you will see what these irons have done for me and how they can possibly help make your game more enjoyable.

Great Stage 2 OG! It almost sounds like the HBs were custom designed for your game. Looks like the Steelheads are relegated to backup duty.

Thanks Russ and yea these HBs are the ticket for me!   I don't see how anyone could not benefit from the fun you get with these irons.   Truly game changers.

Ok folks I know you have some questions on my experience with the HB irons so let's hear them!

Ok I'll go first. Here's a few things I'm curious about:

 

1) How's the flight/contact on the short irons? In my head, I'm picturing moon shots that fly the right distance but are hard to trust in the wind.

 

2) How does the PW compare to your mean green pocket picking machine? The lofts and booty are probably pretty close to each other.

 

3) Do the big ole heads get in the way when situated in your bag? Do they create more bag chatter than normal?
