In this video we review the Cleveland XL Launcher Halo Irons from a mid handicap perspective. These irons are huge, these irons are hollow, but how do these irons fair in our testing? Can they compete against our current gamer irons we were custom fitted for? Will it help a 18 handicap golfer improve his shots or limit mishits on the golf course? Come check out this video to find out!

I purchased the Halo XL irons, right out of the box they gave me great confidence on the course. I dialed in distance on the driving range and they were very consistent on the course. Love these clubs..

@GarageGolf Месяц назад

Glad you liked them!

@geralds5834 Месяц назад

Love the Ce Level and Halos. As I am now 68 they have brought some fun back into playing a round.

I'm so glad to hear that! That's what golf is all about, having fun!

One of the best reviews I have watched. Well done and keep it up! If you can do a real life testing on the course, that would be amazing as well. Cleveland Launcher XL Halos with any of the club/s you want. It's always more interesting to watch comparison videos especially by mid/high Handicappers who represent 95% of the players. It's more relatable. Also, I have just purchased an entire set of Cleveland Launcher XL Halos (Regular, Graphite Shaft) just based on online reviews and an online consultation with an expert bcoz I don't have the opportunity of fitting where I live unfortunately. Waiting for the sets to arrive and cant really wait to try them on.

@GarageGolf 4 месяца назад

Thanks so much for watching! I'll see what I can do. Only have 3 clubs to test out on those but trying to line up some new stuff with Cleveland for the future. Keep you posted!

Just got a set today (6 thru pw), with senior flex graphite shafts. Unfortunately, weather the next few days isn't favorable for playing. I am 72 with a high handicap. Looking forward to playing these. Thanks for the video.

@TimC887 7 месяцев назад

Great review! Loved it. Even as a single digit (almost senior) golfer, I'm losing distance and accuracy as I age. I have considered giving these a try because I spend too much time hitting balls trying to find my game. At this point, I'd like to just play and not spend so much time searching for good shots.

@brianambrose5209 4 месяца назад

Replaced my Wilson D300 series irons with these Halo 5-PW + DW Senior flex graphite shafts played 9 holes yesterday shot a 38 on a 116 rated course as a 20 handicap I was beyond happy also my first round with these clubs removed the plastic protective head and face covers before heading out to the 1st tee. These clubs are making golf fun again for me!

@Thecommish777 7 месяцев назад

Great review! Lefty here. 3 degrees of loft is huge. Assuming both brands were the same loft, the Cleveland would be considerably longer and is the winner by a large margin (in my opinion). I have always struggled with iron accuracy, it seems I can hit more greens from farther way with my hybrids, as a result, I often play to an 170-180 approach rather than 150 or closer. Which is weird I admit. Since I need a new set of irons (mine are 10 years old) I am going to get these HALOS. Price is good right now as well. Thanks!

10-11 handicap here the Halo is a great club. I went from the HB Launcher to the Halo this year. Similar club but the Halo gives a bit more height and distance. Why make golf harder than it already is,the mishits on these clubs keep you in play and allow you to enjoy the game. The consistancy of the strike makes scoring and course management easier. Again they may not be the most appealing to look at but the performance advantage outweighs the clunky looks.

@GarageGolf 5 месяцев назад

Totally agree. Super easy to hit. I could care less what they look like if I can hit them consistently every time.

@EdwardBailey Год назад

I just purchased a set of Halo’s since they are $200 off. I had a set of Maltby Gliders years ago that are just like these less the back fill in. I played my best golf with those. My partner wanted them so I sold them to him and it made a huge difference in his game to the better. I have two buddies who bought Wilson LP’s last year on close out and their games have improved.

@GarageGolf Год назад

I do like the Halos a lot. Very easy to get up in the air and hit.

@frankwimberly3766 Год назад

Thanks for the info on the Cleveland halo clubs. I have been doing my research between the Wilson launcher 2 and the Cleveland halo, I’m leaning towards the Cleveland halo. I plan to have my set cut to my measurements for maximum performance. Looking forward to placing the order, your review of the clubs helped me to decide. Hope I can get a good amount on some clubs I plan to trade. Thanks

@GarageGolf Год назад

I was actually a big fan of the Cleveland Halo Irons. I honestly think I could game these without any issue. The shaft was slightly heavy for me as I swing an 80g Stiff Graphite with my gamers but I got used to it quickly. Glad you enjoyed the video!

It's simple whatever makes the game easier for you !!!

@chadrosin5878 8 месяцев назад

Great video. Loved the numbers comparison. I’m a high handicapper. I use a four and five hybrid in my bag right now. I’m thinking about replacing my lower irons with the Halos. Possibly the longer ones too. Do you think the five would be comparable to a five standard hybrid? Not saying numbers or distance. More ease of hitting it. I can’t really hit a five iron or higher, so I’m not sure if it pays to get a set of these or just 6-9.

@GarageGolf 8 месяцев назад

Hi Chad, Thanks for watching. Yes I would put the 5 iron similar to a hybrid in terms of feel. Make sure to go somewhere to get fitted and get a chance to hit them for yourself! Very important. I think you will get a feel for what works best for you in that situation as well but overall I think you would enjoy them very much. When you make solid contact the ball will fly!

@tommurtagh7288 Год назад

New to your channel and this is the first review I've seen. I play off 10 and consider myself a mid handicapper but that's just where I play. Tried the 5 iron belonging to my brother and was blown away by how easy it was to hit, much easier than a rescue and as my irons go from 6 upwards due to struggling with 5 down I will be looking for a 4 and 5 in these. Keep up the good work.

@GarageGolf Год назад

They are real good quality! Thanks so much for watching the channel!

@michael2782 Год назад

Nice review Roland. I think the Cleveland clubs did better, even with the 7 iron. I think a "fairer" evaluation would have been if you chose a PXG club with the closest loft to the Cleveland even if it comes out as an 8 iron. My rational is that you will choose the club based on loft not the relatively arbitrary numbering scheme from the manufacturer. To we mid handicap golfers we (maybe just me) would choose the club for a particular distance based on our bag mapping.

@GarageGolf Год назад

That is a great point Michael. If I was thinking about it more in advance I would certainly have done that. I really didn't even factor it in until almost after but even with different lofts I was amazed how well the Halo irons did with sometimes a 3 degree loft deficit!

@aljay2955 11 месяцев назад

I have Adams Idea progressive sole irons. I think they're 2016 model. I was golfing with a friend and he was struggling with his irons so I let him try my 6 iron and he hit it dead straight. He went out and bought a set of Cleveland HB Turbo's (very similar to the Halo's) and now he can't miss an iron shot. Every iron shot a beautiful trajectory with distance control. Now I have to go out and buy a set of Halo's so I can keep up. LOL

@GarageGolf 11 месяцев назад

Its amazing how much a good set of fitted clubs can improve your golf game! Not only that but make golf fun when you might have been struggling before.

@andyvenable9315 Год назад

Nice video, ilI like the extra height you were getting from the Halos. I know you said you struggled a bit with the 7 iron, but overall did it take you less swings to get your good shots with the Clevelands?

@GarageGolf Год назад

They sure did get up there and gave great spin numbers too!

@GarageGolf Год назад

Honestly only maybe 5-7 total duff shots I didn't use in the entire video. Very very easy to hit!

@glend3139 Год назад

Curious which PXG irons you are playing. The lofts you mention for you PXG is different then the ones I play which are 2021 0211's.

@georgepatterson5582 Год назад

I'm a 11 handicap I was looking at bombtech I have the blade putter and 3 hywood can you test the irons

@GarageGolf Год назад

I think you would love the Halo Irons! Go to your local golf store and test them out for sure. I will look into Bombtech but I'd have to purchase them myself as they don't send out for testing...at least not for small fries like me. Same with Callaway and Taylormade but I'm working on it.

@jerrysilverstein4055 Год назад

The real test on golf course, a simulator gives an idea of path and distance, on a course you see true flight hitting a consistent distance and how it reacts on the green. If you hit an iron 190 one time and then 170 another time. You have to trust the distance and aim with the club consistency of the club.

@GarageGolf Год назад

One hundred percent agree. Packing up and moving my setup soon, just not enough time on this one but will consider in the future. Very very hard to film on a golf course with people always behind you unless you go at a very slow time. I've had a lot of frustrations trying to figure that one out to be honest but I'm trying. Thanks for watching!

@Jus4kiks 10 месяцев назад

Not sure if you’ll see this, but I am considering a hybrid type iron set bc of elbow issues. Hopefully stop taking divots, and get some easy clubs to hit. You think these will decrease divots being hybrid like?

@GarageGolf 10 месяцев назад

They are definitely more hybrid like and are easy to hit. Make sure though that you go test them somewhere before you buy them depending upon where you are located there’s probably some golf stores nearby that should have them in stock or at least a demo set for you to try out there in the store before you purchase them, make sure you try and get fitted if at all possible. They are really good clubs and easy to hit though.

Only really felt that way with the 7iron to be honest. I only had three clubs to test unfortunately but I was flushing the wedge and the 5 iron quite well. Definitely an adjustment period though.

@GarageGolf 2 месяца назад

Might want to have looked at what???

@superfly1187 2 месяца назад

You have really low decent angle numbers for your gamer clubs which means you probably have issues stopping on greens. The PW should ideally have a 48 degree descent angle and an 85+ foot apex for it to stop on most greens especially at 44* loft. @@GarageGolf Just an observation on your PXG set numbers.

Ain't that the truth! I don't realize it sometime until after. Very fine line between giving detail and just shut up and hit. Trying to find a common ground there but appreciate the feedback. Believe me it is not lost on me but sometimes I then get too short and 10 comments about "You didn't explain this or that". We'll figure out some middle ground but until then feel free to fast forward through any boring parts, you won't hurt my feeling!
