Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy Wedgie has more of an upright (proper) swing plane than I do so he can get down after the ball in the rough. In fact, I don't remember him hitting anything off center with the HBs. Myself on the other hand, I have a flat swing (picker) therefore those shots in the thick bermuda rough are a bit of a challenge. I have come out with some great shots out however I have hit some very heavy too..

ole gray Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I was having some problems chipping yesterday with distance control using my PW, 7I.. Most likely it was my technique however next week I will work on my greenside chips and then keep up with how many up and downs I can achieve. I took my specialty wedge (square strike wedge) out of the bag so I could put the HBs under a little game time money pressure . I put the SSW back in yesterday for when I play the money games.

ole gray Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I joined three guys yesterday and played in a little points game. Throw two bucks in the pot and winner takes all. Well thanks to my HB irons, I took home $6.00! Heck I'm playing with a really sore back and my irons kept bailing me out. One question I was asked earlier was how do they perform in gusty wind? We had a thunderstorm approaching yesterday that caused some gusty conditions. I saw virtually no difference between the HB irons and my prior Steelhead irons with wind interaction. I hit the HB irons a bit higher however there was no significant drop off with distance in windy conditions vs the Callaway Steelhead irons. Perhaps this is because I have more center strikes with the HB irons as they are easier for me to hit.

And - for anyone wondering - I have witnessed first hand what these things can do on multiple occasions. These are as "point and shoot, walk in a straight line to your ball for the next shot" as clubs get. If you're serious about shooting lower scores these should definitely be on your try-it list - at the very least - if not in your bag. ole gray and Wedgie 2 Quote Driver- Cobra Aerojet LS Woods- Cobra LTD 3w 15*, 5W 19*, F9 24* Irons- XXIO X (6-A) Wedges- Callaway Jaws Raw (54/58) Putter- Axis1 TourHM Ball- Maxfli Tour X Buggy- Motocaddy M7 GPS Remote Electric Caddy Bag- Motocaddy Dry-Series Proudly testing for 2024: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ole gray Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Stage 2 Review – Cleveland Launcher HB Irons Final Score – 97 out of 100 Conclusion The Cleveland Launcher HB irons are hands down the best irons for a golfer of my caliber than any irons I have ever played. By changing nothing else I have gone from being in the top 57% of golfers that keep a handicap to the top 30%. Will you have the same results? I don't know but if you want to score better I am very confident that at least 70% of you out there would benefit by playing these clubs. The sad thing is I'll bet only 10% of you have the balls to try them. Great job Wedgie! I love me some HBs and everything you said about them is up to snuff. You talked about getting fit for a backup set, I can see myself doing the same thing. I would freak out if my irons were stolen or loss.

I'm not surprised these are the real deal for you, the previous Altitudes were highly praised and it seems like the HB are even better.
