Cleveland Launcher 460 9.5 Stiff Golf Drivers - Reviews

On 2004-09-30, JarodBrandon rated this Cleveland Launcher 460 9.5 Stiff a 4...(4515)



Purchase: I acquired this item through Ebay's online auction because of the desire for this driver and a very low price for a new item.
Pros: Most foregiving driver I have ever used and my slice has disappeared. Just finished my first round using this club. I had hit a few balls at the range, but it is a little hard to compare those results to using your regular golf balls on a course. I played the same place that I have played many times before, but the course played very differently this time. Every second shot was about 40 yards closer leaving short 9I / PW shots into the green instead of 6I / 7I. I was even able to drive a couple to just off the front edge of the green and was able to putt the second shot. I hit 10 fairways out of 14 and just missed by a few feet on 2 others. For me, this is very impressive. Actually shot an 82 on my first outing with this club (compared to my usual 88 - 90). As long as I don't swing too hard, the club is long and straight. The only 2 fairways I missed were long par 5's where I was really trying to muscle it out there. I tried several other clubs before deciding on this one. For my game, this is the best driver I found at any price. Also my head speed of 105+, with a ball speed of 150mph with the 540 and 160mph with the Launcher gave me about 280 - 290 yds in the air with the Launcher. (with 80%+ efficiency) -
Cons: I cant really fade the ball on call. Too foregiving.
Quality: The shape of the head makes it look smaller at address, but the size and design still give great forgiveness

Review Summary: One of the greatest clubs ever made.It has a head like a bucket and it is as sweet as a nut. If your looking for a bi headed driver get this one
