.....................................................................................................................
The Cleveland Launcher 2009 is the next iteration of the Launcher line. The first impression is that it is the same as the other range of 460cc golf drivers on the market today. However, the 2009 version of the Launcher is 21 percent larger than the Launcher 460 and Launcher Comp, giving it a much larger effective hitting area and more forgiveness. The Launcher is also 0.5 inches longer than a normal driver at 45.5 inches.
The Launcher 2009 model has high MOI, medium trajectory and a very low spin rate. This means that this driver delivers a flatter trajectory than the Cleveland HiBore XLS Moster driver (which produces high-launch, high-flying trajectory). In comparison to the Cleveland HiBore XLS, the Launcher’s higher MOI makes it easier to work the ball and is therefore more for those skilled enough to do so.
The Cleveland Launcher model has an extremely thin crown of 0.5mm. This, and the exaggerated sloped crown, ensures that the weight is placed low and deep inside the club head for more forgiveness. The horseshoe-shaped, 17 gram weight is placed at the rear of the sole and assists in creating a higher launch, less spin and more stability when miss-hits are struck.
Cleveland has specifically targeted the sound at impact. The Launcher is solid and forceful, but with a more traditional, ear-pleasing pitch that is not overpowering.
The Launcher also comes with a Fujikura’s Flightspeed Fit-On shaft which is 10 grams lighter than previous shafts. The lighter shaft means faster swing speed (of up to 1.3 mph quicker) and therefore more yards down the fairway.
The club head is 460cc titanium and lofts are 9, 10.5 and 12 degrees. The length is 45.5 inches. The shaft is a Fujikura’s Flightspeed Fit-On with A, R, S and X.
What the Company Says:
"'Where tradition meets technology' is our battle cry in developing this driver. Launcher keeps classic design and high performance in harmony, from the original Launcher 330 to 400 to 460 to 460 Comp. This one is our best Launchers yet." - Steve Chien, VP of R&D
What Others Are Saying:
"Swings itself. Get it started, and the balance just allows it to get through impact on its own. Similar to a Momentus training aid, it won't let you swing off plane." – Golf Digest
“The impact noise and the feeling off the face is just right. Shots consistently flew long and it was easy to find the sweetspot on a regular basis.” – Golf Monthly
"Impressed...impressive stats...great value for a top club." - Today's Golfer
