    Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

    My first weekend report is that over two rounds I like them a lot. I hit one bad shot where I duck hooked it into the pond from pulling the wrong club, but mostly they were solid, easy to hit, and saved me on three shots from very sketchy lies that I would never have hit the green from with my...

    Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

    I figure I’ll use half of the head covers while playing to avoid knocking and keep them fully sleeved during car rides.

    I got KBS C-Taper Lite in Regular, which is what the Mizuno shaft selector spit out. On-course results: I hit some shots today that I never would have with my old clubs. The highlight was my nemesis par 3 where I always swing defensively with a 6 iron to guard against hooking into the cavernous...

    Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

    Well, in the simulator I can report that they are very forgiving. I’m going to play a sim round next and will have to wait for Saturday for grass. They do sound a little odd, but I’m sure I’ll get used to it.

    Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

    Big surprise today, I wasn’t expecting the order from 8/6 to come in until September, but I got a call from PGA Tour Superstore. Even the back ordered DW showed up!! I really don’t know the fuss on the looks of these. Each club is designed for its task and they look gorgeous. Waiting to finish...

    Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

    Yup. The Launch Pads have even less, but the Stealth HDs look like hook machines. Notably, the ZX4s have more offset in the longer irons as well.

    Clubfitting Part 2 The ZX4 and Launcher XL were discarded as they launched too low…and the ZX5 had no forgiveness on heel contact. We also tried 2 degrees flat on the Halo and Mizuno irons but it felt wrong and I lost balls to the right. It’s notable that I hit the Launcher XL the farthest at...

    Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Irons

    I’ve been XL Halo curious ever since I found an 8 iron on the course a year ago. I hit it and it felt like cheating. I’ve also been struggling with a hook on my irons for the last couple sets of clubs, despite lessons and a simulator in my living room. My other tendency is to hit it on the heel...

    Houston Club Champion fitting for Edel SL01 irons

    I went in yesterday for an iron fitting. I've been thinking about doing a hacked version of the single length irons from Edel. I already have the wedges in a driver grind, and didn't want the expense or six iron length in the wedges, so I decided to go with two lengths. This puts me into...
