Cleveland 2005 Launcher 460 Ti Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2006-02-22, theblade rated this Cleveland 2005 Launcher 460 Ti a 5...(6674)

Details: Aldila NV65 Shaft (Green) 9.5 Loft

Purchase: I purchased this driver from a small upscale golf store that was going out of business. I paid $199.00 for the titanium 460 Launcher 9.5 with the Aldila NV65 shaft. I bought it knowing that I would start playing again and had read decent reviews about playability and consistency of the club. I knew that my game would have suffered from the long layoff and also knew that the current stable of drivers in my garage my be a bit out of date, technologically, and aesthetically. (Cleveland VAS 9.0, Cleveland VAS 8.0, Taylor Made Super Steel 9.5 bubble, Mizuno TZoid 9.5, Taylor Made Bubble Burner 8.5)
Pros: From the first round, I loved the consistency. I drove the first par 4 I played with it and drained the putt for an eagle. I can't think of anything that screams 'positive reinforcement' better than that. I have hit more fairways for more distance than I dreamed of after my layoff. The club is forgiving, still allowing some distance on mishits. The look is clean, and the feel is light and quick. I like the Aldila NV65 shaft as it doesn't seem prone to too much torque or twist. My swing speed pre-accident was 100-103, but now is mid high 90s, yet my shots don't suffer. I have since traded in an older set of irons for the new Ti460 with the 15% redistribution of weight. I haven't hit it yet, but if it is anything like the Launcher 460 it will be amazing.
Cons: That I didn't buy it sooner!
Quality: Cleveland products have always been top end and this club is no exception. The look is clean, and the feel is solid.

Review Summary: Best driver I've ever hit or owned.

Went to the range yesterday to practice. Took the new 9.5* driver to test it out. I hit it a lot better than I figured I would with that factory insta
