Golfspy_CG2 Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 CLEVELAND GOLF INTRODUCES LAUNCHER XL HALO IRONS HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. – Aug. 18, 2021 – Cleveland Golf is proud to announce the all-new Launcher XL HALO Irons, hybrid-style super game improvement irons designed to make the game of golf more fun. The Launcher XL HALO Irons officially launch in North America on Aug. 20, 2021 for graphite irons and Sept. 17, 2021 for steel irons. “From head to grip, Launcher XL HALO Irons just make golf easier and more fun,” said Brian Schielke, General Manager at Cleveland Golf. “Most of us don’t have much confidence standing 170 yards out with a long iron in hand, and needing to carry a bunker to make the green. But with Launcher XL HALO, you’ll swing easier, feel confident, and be shocked at how forgiving they are. These irons will become your go-to clubs.” The foundation of these new irons is the XL Head design, which increases MOI for improved forgiveness and shots that launch high and find their target. In fact, the Launcher XL HALO Irons feature a 17% increase in MOI compared to the previous generation of hybrid-irons. For faster shots that travel far, we developed a new MainFrame iron face that harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to create the optimal club face for these irons. The variable thickness pattern maximizes COR and ball speed to help generate more distance than previous generations. Launcher XL HALO Irons help develop a better, consistent strike. Gliderails on the long irons deliver excellent turf interaction, while the mid-to-short irons feature our V-Shaped Sole to cut through the turf more effectively for cleaner contact. Meanwhile, a new 8g weight placed inside the end of every grip delivers better balance, control, and a smoother swing without extra effort to help square up the ball at impact. If precision is what is desired above all else, we’re offering a new Accuracy Build, a custom configuration that is half an inch shorter without counterbalancing to focus on maximum control. Key Innovations Inside the Launcher XL HALO Irons: XL Head Design: The Launcher XL HALO Irons feature our highest MOI ever in a Cleveland Golf hybrid-iron. It’s maximum distance with maximum fun. Rail to V-Shaped Sole Design: Gliderail in the long irons gradually transitions to a V-Shaped sole in the short irons and ultimately, a three-tiered sole on the Dual and Sand wedges. MainFrame: Designed using Artificial Intelligence, MainFrame variable face technology increases ball speed while unique weight pad designs ensure maximum forgiveness across the face. Action Mass CB: An 8g weight placed inside the end of the grip delivers better balance for more control without extra effort. HiBore Crown Step: The stepped crown shape brings the height of the crown down, dropping the center of gravity and raising your launch in the process. Loft Specific Grooves: The 4i-7i lofts have wider, flatter grooves, while the 8i-SW lofts have closely-spaced, deeper, and higher spinning wedge grooves. Retail Information and Pricing Pricing: 7-piece graphite set ($899.99); 7-piece steel set ($799.99) U.S. Retail Launch Date: August 20, 2021 (Graphite), September 17, 2021 (Steel) russtopherb and ole gray 2 Quote G430 Max 10K TSiR1 15.0 Aldlia Ascent 60g TSR2 18.0 PX Aldila Ascent 6og TSi1 20 Aldila Ascent Shafts R T350 5-GW SteelFiber I80 SM10 48F/54M and58K S159 48S/52S/56W/60B Select 5.5 Flowback 35" ProV1 Play number 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNUte Posted August 18, 2021 Share Posted August 18, 2021 If you can get past the looks, the HB launcher line is actually pretty fun and easy to hit. Especially if you're normally someone who struggles getting the ball in the air. I went with the CBX Launchers just because I did like the looks and feel a bit better, but the HBs from that year were really nice and low effort to high yield. And I've used my friend's clubs out of the rough and there's something to be said about that extra head weight powering through rough. Unfortunately, they also turned me off of my local PGA superstore. The guy who was helping me off handedly said that anyone using the HB launchers is not a real golfer and shouldn't be ok the course.

I for one absolutely love the looks. These things scream "confidence" to a 17 hdcp like me. I also really appreciate the graduated sole design as someone who misses fat far more than thin, I think that's a strong idea. Based on @GolfSpy Barbajo's writeup with how well received the previous two iterations were in testing, I think these will be VERY strong performers. Especially if the distance creeps up while the forgiveness stays the same. That guy at PGA Superstore is a clown. He should talk to someone like @Wedgie who really dropped his handicap with this line of irons.

Looks like I'll be headed to Golfer's Warehouse on the 20th to check these out. Even the guys at True Spec couldn't find a better club after 2 hours of trying. After they gave up they tried to get me to hit drivers. russtopherb, Grand Stranded, MNUte and 1 other 4 Quote Wedgie Driver - XXIO X Driver 9.5 - Launcher Turbo 2 hybrid - F9 One Length 3-L - ER 1.2 Top Flite Gamer Play Right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russtopherb Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 According to the Cleveland website, the DSG right near my house is a full service Cleveland fitter & seller. That was news to the guy in the golf section who didn't know anything about the new line. Nor did they have anything out on the shelves. They did have a used Launcher driver though... I'll have to see if I can steal away to Golfers Warehouse next week when I'm back in the office to check these out.

I started out that way when hybrid irons started picking up popularity, I had a few Cleveland Altitudes in the longer irons and I just didn't like hitting them so I wrote off that style iron overall. Now, I've done a complete 180 after seeing what my game is like, how often I'm actually really able to play, and seeing other golfers hit just amazing effortless shots with them. berkeleybob 1 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Stranded Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I canceled an order for PXG XF irons after I hit these. I couldn’t believe how forgiving they were. I went back two more times just to make sure, and after the third day I ordered a set 4-PW. Ive played 4 rounds with them and my scoring was really good (below 85 each time) but the ability to get them up in the air as easily as I can is what my game needed. My old Rogue X irons were great clubs, I wore them out for 4 years as they withstood a bunch of sets I tried to replace them with. The Halo Launchers seem like the ones that have finally done it. If you’re someone who struggles with iron play, you need to try these. I’ll never understand those who say their ego would never allow them to play these. I would think your ego would be bigger shooting lower scores rather than having a cool looking set in your bag, but what do I know? dlow206, rlb4, russtopherb and 5 others 8 Quote Driver: G425 Max 10.5* Fairway: G425 Max 14*5* & 17.5* Hybrids: G425 Max 22* & 26* Irons: Apex DCB 6-AW Wedges: Jaws Raw Face 54-10 RTX Zipcore 58-6 Putter: ER7 34” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy81 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I’ve ordered a set of 5-PW for my dad. He turns 70 in a month or so and I thought to myself after watching Mark Crossfield and TXG’s reviews on the clubs why wouldn’t he enjoy these. Golf is hard enough already, why do we make it harder on ourselves. They are approved by the USGA so use it to our advantage. Golfers from 50 years ago would look at the average club and ball these days and think wow where was this in my day. I’ll be definitely be having a few hits with them myself even though the set I’ve ordered for my Dad are senior graphite. I’ll be sure to update you how Dad gets on and my general feedback.

dlow206 Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Got my 4 iron. Gamed it after only a few shots on the range. It is very promising, easier to hit than any other long iron i have tried. Looks like a hybrid with an iron face. I can't hit a hybrid to save my life, but can hit this. I do need to optimize it a bit. I ordered the stock build with the graphite shaft, whereas I normally play -0.5" and 2 flat. Plus the playing length of this club is like 39.125" which is really long. Probably need to try it in the Cleveland "accuracy" build setup, which is -0.5" and take out the butt weight. berkeleybob, sirchunksalot and russtopherb 3 Quote Follow my golf journey to break into the 80s Tester for the Titleist TSi Driver Spring 2020 MGS Tester for the Fujikura Motore X Shaft Updated 07/15/2022 Driver: Rogue St Max LS - Autoflex Fairway Woods: Rogue Max St 3HL and 7 Wood Irons: JPX 921 Hot Metal 5 to AW - Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff parallel tip Wedges: Glide 4.0 54 and 58 Putter: PLD Custom Kushin 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't hit it off the tee, off the deck, off a driving range mat, etc. Hybrids either are a big pull hook if i make good contact, but i generally don't even make good contact. Usually top it or hit it super thin like 20 feet off the ground.

Oh I know that 'left hook off the face of the planet' feeling & shot with a hybrid far too well. And I've tried a LOT of hybrids. That experience is what has led me to kind of steer clear of sets like these in the past, but based on how forgiving they are, how well they've been received, and the honest fact that I'm not getting younger nor am I playing 50+ rounds per year, hybrid-style irons like this set seem to be a no-brainer for me when I think about my next set. ole gray and dlow206 2 Quote In my carry bag: ST-X 10.5* Kai'li Blue R Flex ST-Z 15* Kai/li Blue R Flex ST-Z 4h Linq Blue R Flex Launcher 5h Launcher CBX 6i-PW CBX 54* & 58* Huntington Beach #10 e12 Contact CURRENTLY TESTING - Mizuno Long Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wedgie Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 After trading a bunch of crap in I got a set of Halos in regular graphite. My 4 rounds before I got them were 89-89-86-91. My four rounds with them are 84-80-79-85. The 4 rounds with the Halos have been really windy as well. My observations are they spin a ton. With a 15-20 MPH wind at my back I backed up a Wilson Duo from about 160 with a 6 iron. Our greens have been receptive but I am getting my shots to stop about a foot from their ball mark with every club in the bag. I have averaged a hair over 2 birdies a round with these in the bag because I can literally go after any pin because they stop so fast. 2 birdies a rounds is a lot for me. When I dumped my HB Launchers for single length irons my handicap was 6.3. Now I am at 9.5 and trending downwards with the Halos. This weekend I am going to remove the Halo 8-G and replace with my single length Cobras and see how that goes. Adjusting back to shorter "short" clubs is where I have struggled the most with these. I highly recommend people try these. ole gray and russtopherb 2 Quote Wedgie Driver - XXIO X Driver 9.5 - Launcher Turbo 2 hybrid - F9 One Length 3-L - ER 1.2 Top Flite Gamer Play Right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
