I recently bought some Cleveland halo XL irons. They absolutely changed my game. I so excited again to play golf. After 30 years of playing golf I have found a new lease and enthusiasm. Not being miserable after every game and loving the game. Thanks Cleveland!!!!!

I’m an 8HC and been playing one length irons for years, really improved my game. Kept hearing about these, so tried them at the PGA store last week and fell in love. I even fell in love with the 5 wood, never played a wood before, always long irons, but I absolutely love the 5 wood. These clubs are so stupid easy to hit. Also, whether magical or mental, the counterbalance grip forced my swing tempo into Billy Dee Williams smoothness. I bought the 5 wood and 4-6-8-PW…I play half sets and look for a 20 yard gap, works really well for me, don’t leave shots short of the green anymore. Played my first round today, shot a 76 and was absolutely perfect in iron play. Ordered the SW today and will try the driver tomorrow to see if that magically mental shaft configuration works as well in it. I don’t care what they look like (the looks don’t bother me), only my scores. Heck, I even picked up a Cleveland chipper and can put the ball with 5 feet from 30 yards in about 90% of the time. Golf is hard, technology is amazing, I use it to my full advantage.

I think the Launcher XL regularly gets misrepresented in retail settings. Earlier this year I dropped in to 3 different stores when looking to get my mum (been playing for 3-4 years and plays off 30) some new bats, and mentioned in each store I'd like her to try out the Launcher XL's - all 3 said immediately suggested these irons are designed for people who are only just taking up the game so wouldn't suit her. She is late 60's and just wants something which makes the game as easy as possible - I have a feeling they would suit a lot more players than retail staff give them credit for, and I think Cleveland need to do some work on changing the opinions of retail staff.

30 handicap new golfer. I will be buying these Clevelands.

Appreciate you guys doing this test, there's plenty of us weekend hackers that just want to go out, hit some decent shots and have fun. The Clevelands seem to be right up my alley.

Would love to see more of these super game improvement irons on the channel! Great video guys 🙏

I just bought the Halo irons a few weeks ago...it brings the game to a whole new level for me. I'd like to be in single digits for a handicap again 20 years later and I think these irons can do it. Incredible!

This is the best channel for club reviews/tests. Period.

Great Post!! I found it challenging to hit my existing irons due to two major right hand operations, so after watching this video I tried them today. All I can say is WOW!! After thinking that golf was over for me I really do think that the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo irons will allow me to continue playing. Thanks for posting.

In the spring of this year 2021 I purchased a set of 2020 Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo irons 4-SW and they really helped to hit the ball higher and farther. Father time made me give up my beloved Cobra Fly Z Irons which never left my bag until I hit 70 years old this year. It was a great move to keep my game alive and viable.

This was a great test! While I am getting my JPX 921 Hot Metals tomorrow, I completely believe in the idea that I play what makes me better, not what feeds my ego. My ego will be fed plenty by hitting good shots and beating my buddies, not by trying to hit clubs beyond my abilities. I'd buy those in a second. Well done!!!

I'm 66 years old and have arthritis in my hands and back. I also had a hip replaced several years ago. I love the game of golf but get frustrated when I can't hit the ball any distance or can't control it due to limited flexibility. I purchased these club about 1 1/2 months ago and can't say enough about them. I hit the ball down the fairway with out to much fade or draw. I'm getting more distance and having fun golfing again. I like your reviews and your comparisons with other clubs. Great job guys, keep up the good work

My wife has the previous version(Turbo) which has her enjoying the game more then ever. If you want the easiest irons to hit ever made these are it. They are not bad to look down at either. Super confident looking. Great way of testing the forgiveness these offer over traditional game improvement irons. The titilest 300 are some of the best to so that shows are amazing these Cleveland irons are.

I just got a set of these for an early Xmas present and after a few rounds, WOW! I am 61 and still hit it well but these bring me to a new level of golf. I can swing so easy and strike it better with more distance and higher softer landing shots. I don't care how they look, I don't focus on looks when I am over the ball.

These Clevelands are the evolution of the original HiBore design I’ve been playing since about 2005. Now I’m mid 70s with back and joint problems, playing a lot less and not likely to upgrade again, but still think these Cleveland’s are the best choice for older, slow swing speed players. I still have an old hdcp index card from 20 yr ago that says 12.2, but those days are long gone. The HiBores kept me playing golf a lot longer and more fun than I probably would’ve had with less forgiving clubs.

Great seeing Righty Matty, definitely enjoying seeing the comparison of the clubs. Definitely helps the higher handicap players and gives a bit more information for better informed decisions. To quote Matty ‘Yesss’

Matt's backswing still looks great, then just kills me on the follow through. great test. I think it's very realistic and useful info

I had some Adams V3 Hybrid and hybrid irons set when I first started. Absolutely LOVED them to pieces.

This is helpful for far more folks that want to admit it guys, great job. At some point I will add more big clubs as I age..I already embrace the hybrids and blending the irons: it just works :) and to those how gave it the thumbs down fix your mouse control you meant to click thumbs up for Righty Matty!

My wife - 73 yrs young - had carpal tunnel surgeries on both wrists 13 yrs ago and now has some thumb arthritis and considerable loss of grip strength in the last few years… She was a sweeper even before her wrist and hand issues made it mandatory! I’m going to get her fitted in the women’s version of these or a similar “iron-wood” set. Callaway, Cleveland, Tour Edge and Wilson all have similar offerings. If/when I can no longer take a nice divot with my irons, I may be looking for something like these. Thank You for deviating from Matt or Ian bombing away with X-flex clubs for distance, accuracy and consistency I have never approached!

My dad is a senior golfer and uses the previous model of the Cleveland. They do a great job with a graphite shaft

This video was awesome! To watch how different the flights were....just such a wow factor! My girlfriend picked up the game last year and she plays Launcher UHX irons....we may have to replace those with these new Halo XL irons! Kudos to you guys for including equipment for all golfers from all different levels!

That realization that Matt hits RH very close to my stock distances RH. Except I've played that way my whole life 🤦‍♂️

Thanks so much for testing a club that might really help the majority of recreational golfers, including me. One very interesting result was how much tighter the dispersion patterns were for the Halos. Not only do they launch higher and go farther, but it sure looked like they would help us hit more greens. Guess what just got added to my Christmas list?

Haha “Righty Matt” should be renamed “Relatable Matt” 🤣😂😅 Great job as usual boys.

These relaxed videos are fun all around. It sounds like you guys are having a good time, too. Golf's hard, grab the fun where you can.

Thanks for the review guys....there are those of us who need game improvement clubs. I do enjoy watching all your reviews!

Cobra T-Rail review would be awesome. Then a super game improvement shootout. Spectacularly review as always.

absolute my favorite comparison you guys have done. Keep up the great content.

Phenomenal video. I don’t practice as much as I used to and my contact has gone to crap with my players irons. I switched the head on my 5 iron to try the halo and it absolutely just works. Now switching the rest of the bag.

I REALLY LOVED THIS VIDEO! Yesterday, I went to my local Golf Warehouse and tried this club (the non-hybrid version). I couldn't believe it. I'm pretty much a hacker and everything I hot with this club went STRAIGHT down the middle. The guy trying out a driver next to me was saying WOW I wish I could hit an iron like that. I was out performing his driver. I had trouble sleeping thinking about how much fun golf could be for me. I went back there today and tried out several clubs. including the Hyrid version on the CLEVELAND LAUNCHER XL Halo. i felt more comfortable with the standard HALO CLEVELAND LAUNCHER XL with graphite shaft. THEN I bought a fun set of irons. I can hardly wait to get out there and give them a go. Looking forward to having FUN out there. THANKS AGAIN FOR THE VIDEO much appreciated!!

Switched from my M4s to the Cleveland turbos on a whim. Best move ever. High and far. 71 years old and can hit the 4 iron 200, best is 212. All clubs very easy to hit and high. Recommend them. Plus. Cheaper than most clubs. Bonus.

I appreciate you taking the time to do reviews and tests focused more on players like me: the crowd who can't break 120. I'd love to see a side by side comparison between the Launcher and the Cobra Fmax Airspeed irons, please.

Best test ever - I’m saving to get a set. I play Tour Edge HL4s. Thanks guys & yes, agree - relatable Matt; & he can play!!

Just recently bought the new xl halo hybrids 6,5,4 and 3. Will buy the halo irons in 7,8,9 and pitch after watching this ✌🏻👍🏻

Gentlemen, really enjoy your duo. I watch and enjoy your discussion and sharing the technical in such an understandable way. Another brilliant video!

I have these. These are in fact the easiest and best irons I've ever played. Launcher is an appropriate name. Love em.

Went to the local Golf Galaxy last week, spent about an hour or so hitting 7 irons. I tried the T200, T300, Rad Speed, Sim 2, and I think one or two others. Average club head speed was around 80 mph. Best distance out of the Sim 2, but I was most consistent with the T300. My biggest issue (outside of strike consistency) was a lack of height. I think my average land angle was around 36*, which is way less than ideal. I didn't know about these, and I'm not sure they had them in the store yet. If they were, I find it interesting the fitter wouldn't have mentioned these to me. I'm certainly interested in going back and comparing them to the T300. Great video boys!

This was probably the best club comparison I have seen. It's nice not to see a pro compare the clubs. Excellent!

Well done Gentlemen, A video I as a mid-handicapper can related to, 85-90 swing speed on a good day, absolutely need all the help I can get, will definitely will be looking in to the Cleveland Halo's

Great to have Matt doing right hand testing it puts him right where I am. Thanks Matt

Really useful video for a 22 HCP player using Mizunos. As a sweeper maybe these will help me.

Great video. It really shows what these sorts of clubs can potentially do for some players. Well done to Matt, I'm sure that was a challenging task for him. Fantastic ad for these Clevelands!

Exactly the combo I've been looking for...looking at both of these sets. I'm checking to see if I can game T300s or if I have to stay in the Super Game Improvement (currently game 2014 Adams). Thanks guys...

Great test! Thanks for catering for us higher handicappers.

Brilliant that you have done a test relevant to the golfing masses.

I got mine when I was an 18 handicap now I’m a 9 handicap. Still enjoy the halo’s. Oh and I’m 68 years old.

Got my Halo irons 6 months ago. Haven't lost any shots on the handicap (still 18) but my very weak mid to long iron game has improved greatly. So much so that I have taken my 5 wood out of the bag, I use the 4 iron instead. Even the 3 wood is in danger of losing its place. Now I have to state that I DID NOT choose these clubs myself, I spent 5 hours at a fitment shop hitting every iron you can think of (even those out of budget) and the poor pro was getting a little frustrated, he then wandered of and came back with a Halo 7 iron. Almost from the very first shot the added size and weight improved my swing tempo and the rest is history. PS I used to hit my Taylor Made RBZ 7 iron 120m ( 130 yrds) and I now take the Halo 7 iron out at 130 to 140m ( 140 to 150 yrds).

Love the channel boys, keep up the good work always excited for a new review

love watching Righty Matt (aka CleanDog) do these thests!

That 4 iron difference was astonishing 👍

Great test. Would love to see how righty Matt does with a 4 Halo vs a 4 Hybrid. That would have relevance for another set of golfers who may not play game improvement irons in the shorter clubs but are struggling to find consistency with longer ones.

I had budgeted about $300-400 to upgrade my irons now that I was playing more frequently. Upon improving my driver game and incorporating wedges into my game my iron skills some how took a hit. I found a set of the Tour Edge version of these and figured I could always resell and switch back to a more conventional set of irons once I found my groove again. Honestly I’m a big fan of this style as more of a weekend warrior. My bad hits were always chunks and now at least when I do chunk I get some distance due to the larger forgiving sole instead of going nowhere for my efforts.

I have a set of Launcher HB about a year old now, I am 68 play off 12 and would not play anything else. For older golfers these can be a blessing, I also have the 12 degree driver which I get 206 meters from, as you said sometimes thinking outside the box is a good thing but give yourself a bit of time because these clubs have strong lofts so your club selection and course management become more important and the game becomes a lot more fun Good golfing

Thanks for doing this-and please tell me Matt missed more than a few hitting right handed. 😅

Really appreciated that they focused more on the performance than the unusual design. Like that, they mentioned greater enjoyment because, given how much high handicap golfers struggle, that added enjoyment could be the difference between playing and quitting.

Great test! Would be great seeing you testing other brands of hybrid-irons as well :D

Nice to see something for high handicap folks. I ordered a set of Cleveland Halo irons based on your comments. Now help me with fairway clubs.

please do a hybrid iron showdown... pxg 211 z. vs. sub70 799 vs. cleveland launcher xl.

Thank you for this video! I am shopping for a new iron set and this could make my short list.

I keep hearing on YT about golfers who are seniors or new to the game needs to try these. I'm 46 with a relatively moderate swing speed and although I don't hit my clubs super long, I play to a 6 HC. I wonder why more folks don't emphasize this type of club wouldn't be fantastic for ANY handicap golfer....no matter your ability. This game is about making it as easy as you can on yourself and these clubs seem like they do just that. I really love hybrids and am really thinking about these clubs as my next set. Any golfers here in a similar situation?

I haven't played an Iron longer than a 6 iron in a couple years. Hybrids and Tour Edge Iron woods have helped me a TON

Loved it especially for someone that is a higher then high handicap.... Would be interesting to see if they help with "fat shots"

Great test guys! I was surprised to see that you were testing the Clevelands. Had to look twice at the title. Greatly appreciated!

Please do more of this. This was really interesting. Great work lads

Welcome to the other half of our building 😂 love it

I have been thinking about trying the new T300 irons myself. Mid 5 handicap, nearing 60 years old. Trying to get back down to a 3. I think I should add the Launcher’s to the list now.

I'm going out to by some. I was testing clubs in SLC, Utah this week. Went in to hit the Callaway Rouge HD and after the golf pro gave me the Wilson Launchpad then the Cleveland Launcher Halo I hit the Cleveland Launcher easily better than all the rest. Very surprised, just trying to get my head around the way they look. Price is great and I'm sure they will help my not very good game. Cheers for the input.

Very interesting in that Matty Boy's swing speed and ball speeds right handed are almost exactly the same as mine. Mark Crossfield having the previous Launcher's in his bag for the long irons helped me put my ego in check. If someone as good as him used a super game improvement club, why shouldn't I??? I was fitted into 921 Hot Metals and they have made a world of difference for me. Hurt my ego so much that I kept wanting to cancel the order and get a players distance iron. My ego wanted a players distance iron but the numbers were much better with the Hot Metal. The dispersion horizontally was much much better. Seeing Mark with the Launchers(Yes I know he is sponsored) really did help me to give the Hot Metals a real chance and I'm really glad I did.

A lot of fun to watch. Love Righty Matt

I play the Cobra T-Rails. I am a 8 handicap. It is just more fun to play golf with clubs that are easier to hit. Yes, I can still fade and draw them on command. The only thing keeping these out of bags is ego.

I purchased a set for my wife and had the shaft lengths all cut to a 5 iron length, For a tall gal she has short arms for her height. She is now able to hit her long Irons with some Height. She could not stop irons on approaches to greens. Now she's putting rather than chipping to save Par.

Very impressive!!! Enjoyed the podcast. One of your best!!!

These clubs will work for many golfers of all handicaps. Mark Crossfield has played these clubs ( previous model). Golfers need to check their ego at the door and play clubs that make the game easier.

I love them. I have a mixed set and carry a 5 and 6 Iron with a set of zx5 s

Great test this, and proper eye opener to anyone who won't get past the look of these clubs to give them a go!

Awesome review. Thank you. Question - hitting from a mat is one thing but what about ground interaction? You made the comment about the value of these for those who strike thin, but what about those golfers who tend to hit down and take a larger divot? Would the thinner sole T300 be a better choice?

Matty should go to a local driving range and trash talk some golfers into a money match whilst hitting it right handed. then turn up on the tee lefty and blow their minds LOL

Wow. Superb. I am do glad you guys went here. I am going to test the halo 5 or 4 iron

Bought Cleveland Hi Bore clubs years ago iam 77 years so easy to hit irons wish I could say the same about my putting but manage to get handicap down to 14 .definitely thinking of buying the Cleveland halo. To upgrade.

The grouping of the Halo is amazing. Who cares about looks when the accuracy is so much different. I can see scores come down with the Halo.

If Matty Aced one, he’ll have to play’em! Getting close! Nice blog!

I always enjoyed Halo using the Master Chief Collection but now I can play during my golf game. Neat.

I bought the Cleveland UHX irons this year and it's almost unfair how easy they are to hit. Way more fun and dropped my score a few shots too.

Do you think that these Irons would suit a near 70-year-old with a heart condition, arthritis & a drinking problem? asking for a friend🤦‍♂️👴

in ten years time when I am about 60 years of age I can definitely see myself getting my hands on something like those Halo's (or whatever their equivalent will be in the future)

I'm not a high handicap golfer, but I am getting older and those Cleveland Halo irons are looking pretty tempting.

Just bought it. So easy to hit. Worth it

Both my dad and uncle play launchers. 8 and 15 handicap. They love them.

Thanks for yet another great video. It will benefit me and many others. I have g710 irons six-sand wedge. I do okay with the 8-s. Can’t hit the 6 or 7 iron for the life of me. Did not get along with g425 six or seven hybrids either. I have a lot of confidence in my G425 nine wood and a decent amount in my g425 five hybrid. No time for lessons this year. Barely enough time to play golf as it is. That gap in my bag has been driving me nuts. Was considering an eleven wood or a tsi1 7 hybrid. Finally a solution that sounds most appropriate for me is here. Going to try out the cobra t-rail hybrid irons 6,7. Might end up with the 5, 8, etc also. Thanks for getting me started in the right direction.

I own the xl halos irons 😇... and I came from the taylormade M cgb irons... best irons I've ever made ball contact with! Absolutely 💯 💯 for me!

I just bought a set of Cleveland Halo Launcher and absolutely love these clubs after trying a lot of other brands.

You know what would be really interesting? Seeing Matt hit some blades, MB, CB to see how much he’s really losing in not only distance but dispersion, apex, spin! Now that would be some eye opening info for a lot of golfers and super interesting for number junkies like myself. I’m thinking of trading in my combo set of callaway xforged cb (4-7) and razr mb (8-pw)for something a bit more forgiving but still has a compact size. Any suggestions? Love yalls channel! Big fan!

Thank you for doing tests and videos that would benefit the regular guy. I could see a set like this in my so distant future. Keep up the great work

Great video. I am going to get them. My whole bag is hybrids 4-7 SIM and dont use irons much. So i can use them to lower my score more

I did play the previous Cleveland version the Turbo iron, found them to be long but dispersion was not good at all. These seem to prove Cleveland may have corrected that issue. Thank you!

Those will be my next set of irons! That was an impressive test! 👍👍

Love these type of videos. Please do more!

I replaced my 6i with the previous version of this club and it is hands down the easiest iron I have ever hit

You need to go back years, when tour Edge was bazooka club co. They developed the iron woods. They were great & still are under tour edge co.
