In this video Luke at Weekend Tour Pros reviews the Cleveland Launcher XL irons and asks the question: are these the best value brand new golf irons available right now? At only £549.00 in the UK they come in at around half the price of most other new irons, so can they perform just as well?
Luke starts the video by giving you an overview of the features and benefits of the Cleveland Launcher XL iron whilst showing you how it looks.
Luke then hits a batch of shots with the Cleveland Launcher XL irons, giving you his instant feedback to how the irons feel and talking you through the numbers from TrackMan.Before leaving the fitting bay, Luke gives his initial conclusions on the iron.
When home, Luke shows you a side by side comparison of the Cleveland Launcher XL irons against his own Titleist T200 to see if he still feels the same when comparing the feels he had in the bay to the real data.
Luke rounds up by giving his overall conclusion and giving his own answer to that question: are these the best value irons available right now?

Would you test these irons and what would you do with the £500 you save???

@eckathewrecka 8 месяцев назад

Well done Luke doing this is such bad conditions, I'm now looking at buying these wonderful Cleveland clubs.

@weekendtourpros 8 месяцев назад

That’s for watching Eric and glad it helped! 👍🏼

I bought a set of these in November. Love them. I'm a 9 handicap but the winter course conditions a where I live make scoring well extremely difficult. Can't wait to hit these with grass growing and warmer temps. They are well names as the ball launches beautifully off the face high and straight.

@weekendtourpros Год назад

Hey Frank! Thanks for watching my video and your comment! That sounds fantastic, no wonder you can’t wait to hit them in warmer temps! Totally agree about the name, so easy to launch! I think the best thing about us golfers is we are starting to realise playing equipment that makes the game easier is more fun than equipment that looks exactly like a pro! All the best, Luke!

7 handicap here (hoping to get down to a 4-5 this season coming up). Been using these irons for 8 months or so since they were such a good bargain and I was on a budget (I saved probably like $500 or more). These are incredibly forgiving, especially on toe strikes since the face is a bit longer. The top line is a bit thicker but it isn't overwhelming, its still a more narrow top line then most game improvement and super game improvement irons. At address I don't really get those "chunky game improvement iron" feels. I can shape shots reasonably well with these, they launch high, solid ball speeds. Incredible value with these irons.

Hi Jesse R thanks for the really informative comment and for watching the video! Great to hear the experience you have had with these irons and really cool to hear such positive feedback from a single figure handicap golfer! The value for money on these irons is INSANE! Good luck getting down to 4-5 this season! Thanks, Luke!

Will for sure test these clubs, thanks Luke for the presentation!

Hi Petter! No problem at all and thank you for watching my video! 👍🏼

I am a struggling 14. I have been playing the Wilson LP and decided to 'test drive' some new irons. I ran the gauntlet with a fitting pro for over 2 hours. I promptly ordered the Launchers. They will arrive in a day or three.Good review. Liked and subscribed.

@weekendtourpros 9 месяцев назад

Hi Windyknot2094! Thank you for watching my video and for liking and subscribing- that’s really appreciated! Sounds like you’ve had a fantastic experience all round and found some great value and performing irons! It will be great to hear what you think too then when you’ve been out on the course a few times! All the best! 👍🏼

@marrkk91 Год назад

I wasn't sure about those irons at first sight, but I think I'll go for it. Thanks for the reviews and keep up the good work. +1 sub. Greetings from Montréal (Canada 🇨🇦)

Hi Marc! Thank you for watching my video and for subscribing! I’m really pleased you found the video helpful! Cool to see people from all over the world watching the videos too! Have a great day and keep enjoying your golf! All the best, Luke

@dankiniry3618 Год назад

Great irons. This guy is spot on.

Hi Dan! Thanks for watching the video and for your kind comment! All the best, Luke

@jamiecrutchfield9868 9 месяцев назад

Cleveland is by far the most underrated club. Not sure why it gets so overlooked

@weekendtourpros 9 месяцев назад

Hi Jamie! Thanks for watching my video and for your comment! I’m not sure why that’s the case either? I can only assume the marketing sells for the big brands!? But they are a brilliant price point and a really credible option for people who choose based on data and not what their favourite PGA Tour player is using! All the best! 👍🏼

@tp0376 Год назад

Wish they would have made them blend better with the looks of the cbx wedges. Kinda liked the looks of the uhx a little better. But I do like the looks of this at address

@weekendtourpros Год назад

Hi TP 03! Thanks for watching the video and for the comment! I think that’s a fair comment. I’ve only had the 7 iron in my hand but from pictures etc. I totally get your point that the change might be a bit more drastic than other irons out there! All the best, Luke

@rexvaughn986 11 месяцев назад

Great video. My swing speed is similar to yours. Would you recommend graphite shafts for swing speeds in 75-80mph?

@weekendtourpros 11 месяцев назад

Hi Rex! Thanks for watching my video and for your kind comment! Whenever I’ve been fitting for irons, I’ve never been recommended graphite shafts at my swing speed (c.78mph with a 7 iron) however the Halo XL Launcher come with graphite shafts as standard. I think that’s due to the weight of the iron head and trying to balance that out and deliver a sensible swing weight for average swing speed players (but I could be wrong). If I was to buy these irons, I would go graphite for sure as they worked great in my hands. Hope that helps! 👍🏼

@kellysmith2303 Год назад

I almost bought these after having the halos (didn’t love them) but went with Dick’s Sporting Goods house brand Tommy Armour 845 Max instead. It was close tho and it came down to top line and blade length (both too much with the Clevelands). Good vid!

@weekendtourpros Год назад

Hi Kelly! Thanks for watching and for your comment! Living in the UK I haven’t seen the own brand irons from Dick’s. How are you finding them? I definitely understand your points on both sets of Cleveland’s… people will either love or hate the Halo’s and I also understand that chunky top line isn’t for lots of people! Keep enjoying your golf! Thanks, Luke

@anttisavolainen547 Год назад

Yes! I would with saved money i would buy cleveland woods!

@weekendtourpros Год назад

Love it Antti!

@anttisavolainen547 Год назад

This iron has had pretty good grades from other golf tubers👍. Lets see what you think

@petera2133 6 месяцев назад

How would the launcher compare against the TM stealth?

@weekendtourpros 6 месяцев назад

Hi Peter! It was quite a while ago that I tested both sets of irons however I’ve just gone back and had a look at the TrackMan data for you. The caveat I’d give is both reviews were filmed 7 months apart so as a handicap golfer I’m the biggest variable here but my key numbers are below. Worth noting my clubhead speed was 77.4/77.8mph so near identical on both days, Cleveland numbers are first and Stealth second: Ball Speed: 104.3 / 110.1mph Carry: 141.6 / 150.9yards Spin: 5,796 / 4,452rpm Launch: 19.0 / 15.4 degrees Peak height: 72.2 / 63.2 feet Land Angle: 43.0 / 37.5 degrees The static loft on the 7 irons is one degree stronger with the Stealth but my results showed a faster ball speed, flatter ball flight with less spin but more distance vs. A higher ball flight with more spin, control and stopping power on the green but sacrificing carry distance with the Cleveland. So I think it will depend what type of golfer you are as to which may suit you better. Based on my results if you need more distance and are willing to have a little less control then I’d go Stealth but if you are good for distance and want a bit more spin and control then the Cleveland’s could be a great option. I remember being REALLY impressed with the value for money from the Cleveland’s. I hope that helps Peter! Thanks for giving my channel a watch! All the best! 👍🏼
