Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Hybrid

Product Information

Action Mass CB: greater balance & control with 8g weight strategically positioned inside the end of the grip The internal weight has been paired with a hibore stepped crown which lowers the centre of gravity of the club to provide even higher launching shots. This is huge: a bigger head means an MOI of 2,961 g-cm²– our most ever in a Cleveland Golf Fairway Wood. Add that forgiveness to a high launch from low-and-deep weighting, and you’ll enjoy maximum distance with maximum fun. Gliderail Better golfers may be in the market for something that's more workable and therefore would be suited to something with plenty of hosel adjustability.

This is huge: a bigger head means an MOI of 2,908 g-cm2 in the 7-Iron—our most ever in a Cleveland Golf Hybrid-Iron. It’s maximum distance with maximum fun. HiBore Crown Step: stepped crown shape lowers the height of the crown down for lower centre of gravity and higher launch

The HiBore Crown step drops the centre of gravity in this hybrid for much higher-launching shots. Additionally, if precision is your priority, this clubs delivers maximum control on each shot for superior accuracy. In testing, we felt that the new Paradym X Hybrid delivered performance, power, a lot forgiveness and was an overall joy to play with during our testing sessions. We think that it is one of the best hybrids for higher handicap players, with the consistency on strikes across the face a particular standout. Rough isn’t all that rough with the new Launcher XL Halo Hybrid. It has Gliderail to glide through any lie and it’s loaded with MOI for straight-shooting forgiveness.

This will divide opinion but, one thing that shouldn't be ignored is the neutral ball flight. The TSR2 has a lie angle that is half a degree flatter than standard and, in our testing, it certainly helped straighten up our shots. If anything, it has a slight fade bias to it - something that can be increased or reduced via the settings on the hosel.

From a performance standpoint, the Ezone Elite 4 hybrid held its own and felt soft yet powerful off the face, which is in part due to its In-Core groove technology. This technology is placed around the perimeter of the face to allow for greater flexibility and faster ball speeds.
