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.

The salesman probably gets a larger commission from the other brands they push. I’ve been playing Cleveland Launcher HB irons for 10 years sine I was 57. They immediately helped me take my game from low to mid 90’s to mid to upper 80’s and I’ve had some of my best rounds in the low 80’s. They make the game easier for anyone who wants to use them. The game is hard enough, why use hard to use equipment. Cleveland is very underrated. So called Pros feel embarrassed to test them. Quality and technology beats them all.

@@johnp1040 i know where you're coming from but having worked in the retail side of the golf industry for several years i can tell you this isn't true 95% of the time. commission in retail settings is rare these days and the bias mostly comes from the internal golf snob of the salesperson. it also comes from a subconscious fear of embarrassing or insulting someone by recommending a super-game-improvement iron. that being said, i agree with you in that more people should expand their horizons and try easier to hit irons. i see far too many people at my club using blades or close to them purely out of ego, and if they'd just give other irons a chance they could shave strokes off their game.

The HiBores kept me playing golf a lot longer and more fun than I probably would’ve had with less forgiving clubs.

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!

I'm feeling the same after this test - probably the best/most relevant test I've ever watched. 56yo. 11.5 hcap (was down to 7 before 10 year break) and lower ball speed than Matt (low efficiency). Been wanting T200, tested them at a Titleist demo day last week and was better with T300, but still not as fast, high or long as Matty. With a goal of single digits, it's hard to reconcile super-game improvement irons being the best fit, but they just might be. I'm fairly consistent and straight with my old x16s but get no distance. Only a good wedge game gets me shooting low 80s. May have to give the Halos a test.

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.

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).

How's the dispersion left to right and front to back for you vs your old set?

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

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.

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

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.

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!

Odd I have the turbo's and the only time I have dispersion issues is when I truly screw my swing up overall the dispersion of the irons for me is dead on.

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?

@@RKCHUX sure… I’m 60 so my swing isn’t what it used to be. I love the feel and launcher is a great name because I get a lot more height with these and they’re very forgiving. I just started playing again after quite a few years and these clubs along with some refresh lessons really helps my confidence I guess and I’m scoring better. I like that the 4/5/6 iron are like hybrids iron mix.

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.

@@RKCHUX I have not, but I’m leaning towards Cobra T Rails. May be biased because I have LTDX Max driver that I really like and a Cobra hybrid that struck the ball well the only time I have used it. That said I am playing Wilson CX box set irons now and they are better than I am. Honestly feel any of these would help my game.

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