Great. Thanks. So I'm assuming it would be the same for the Launcher XL Halos?
Anyone carrying those clubs on the right in their bags had better be careful, I've heard of thieves stealing that much metal to recycle for cash
Yes and the woods.Great. Thanks. So I'm assuming it would be the same for the Launcher XL Halos?
These irons are certainly on the brain. Might not be the most flashy, but the tech and shaping makes them very appealing to my eye.
In a time when we there are multiple threads about price points rising, to see a set come out with Mainframe, AM CB, v-sole, etc and at this price point surely will make THPers happy. This is close to the price of a number of DTC brands with nowhere near the R&D available.
If you get a chance, check out the video in the first post. Lots of good information on the design.When I ordered the XL irons, 5 thru PW with Elevate 95 reg shafts, I was told it would be 3 to 4 weeks since Cleveland was building these irons with graphite shafts. 6 days later as we were backing out of the garage to go to dinner I saw a box on the front porch. Put the box in the car and went to dinner. I figured this box wasn't the irons but couldn't remember any iron/s I had ordered. Got home, opened the box and there were the Cleveland Launcher XL irons. That was a fast 3 to 4 weeks. Ordered them in the standard length so as to keep the 8 gm shaft weight in the handle and the D3 swing weight. I'll just choke up a half inch since I like the 5 iron @ 37.75".
I'm not playing for a few weeks due to lower back nerve issues and left hip joint pain. Getting both issues looked into and should be back on the golf course early October, I hope.
Love the V sole on these irons. Sorry for the out of focus, my phone kept focusing on the grass.

The 5, 6 & 7 irons have less grooves and are wider spaced. The 8, 9 & PW have more grooves and are tighter spaced. 7 iron on top.

The 5, 6 & 7 irons have solid backs. The 7, 8 & 9 irons have cavity backs.

Yes I did and it's fixed. ThanksI'm sure you meant 8 9 PW
I've watched it a few times JB. Love the impact sound as well as the results and Canadan's swing.. Great video.If you get a chance, check out the video in the first post. Lots of good information on the design.
Show off.Finally played yesterday, 9 holes though. Been fighting a left hip bursitis issue and got a shot into the joint last week and it felt well enough to not hurt on the downswing. Our home course just opened yesterday too but is cart path only till next week. I quit after 9 holes so as to not work the left hip out too much since a lot of walking was involved to and from the cart to the ball. First iron swing with the new XL irons was a 5 iron. Nice center face with great impact, feel, sound and results. The rest of the irons hit during the 9 holes was just as good. Didn't notice the difference in impact feel/sound between the hollow and filled 5, 6 & 7 irons vs the cavity back 8, 9 & PW. Great straight and high launch with the TT Elevate 95 reg steel shafts. Playing next thursday when the cart path restriction is lifted.
Here's a pic of he impact on the 5 iron. Yes, it felt as good as it looks. :twist:

Has anyone owned the prior generation Cleveland's and now these, Are these that much better
Adding to this......has anyone compared the UHX to the Launcher XL ?
Is this Launcher XL a direct replacement for the UHX despite the smaller long irons? Do they launch as high as the UHX?
@Canadan
I haven't been able to hit these yet because I have not found any in LEFT hand, locally or web hunting. I'm in Michigan. I emailed Cleveland support and learned that left handed Launcher XL iron heads won't arrive until late December. I do have the HY-Wood with the stock shaft (regular flex) and really like it's feel and performance.Adding to this......has anyone compared the UHX to the Launcher XL ?

@Canadan
That's actually a very good looking club in hand!
