2018 Official Forum Member Review - Cleveland Launcher HB/CBX Irons


Recommended Posts

Great introduction. It looks like 6 is getting a little handsy in front of the family.

 

Silly question question: I may have missed it -if you're coming from F8 one length, is one length an option for this set too?

No, it is not an option for the Launcher Hb Irons.

Excellent Stage 1. Loved all the pics, great start!

 

I'll be interested to hear of any feel differences going from the forged to the CBX, especially on those "not so hot" hits.

Honestly, these irons are going to have to outright beat my Nikes for me to put them in the bag.  I hit my current set very well and love the looks/feel of them as well. Therefore the new technology is going to have to earn its spot in my bag. The attribute that drew me to want to test the CBX Lanuchers was the precision and accuracy that Cleveland raved about.  So naturally I am looking for consistency and accuracy. I want to know when I pull the club out of my bag what distance it is going to go. Here is exactly what the CBX irons will have to do to earn their spot: They have to go consistent distances, with consistent ball flight to hit a spot time after time.  The irons will also have to be forgiving for days when I am not striking it well. Accuracy must be there as well. I want to be able to pull a club and know that I can count on the shot shape to get me to the hole; I feel as though spin will fall in this category as well. Something that I want to measure as well is feel, I love having forged irons and I am very worried that the CBX irons, being cast, will not have the same soft feel.  Things I am not looking for, more distance, more ball speed, lower ball flight, these things are characteristics that would turn me away from these clubs. I am looking forward to the next part of this review as the Cleveland irons will battle it out against the Nikes for supremacy in my bag! The biggest question is whether or not the CBX's technology will give them the ability to boot the Nikes out of my bag and my life forever.

 

Another great stage 1, excellent work sir.

Hey buddy I can't wait until you come up and smack these HBs around.  These irons are a huge benefit for guys dealing with joint, back, and other physical issues!

I noticed that too!! I just didn't think about it! my plan is to break down the specs a bit on stage 2 so and also use Arccos to break down the performance of my gamers and the launchers. So I'll be sure and feed you some numbers!!!
