Our Cleveland Launcher CBX irons review took place at The Golf Shack at Moor Allerton in Leeds.
We first saw the CBX irons at the brand’s launch event this summer where they also launched the CBX wedges, HB launcher woods and irons.
But we wanted to get the CBX irons on the launch monitor to see how they performed.
We used a Foresight GC Quad to get some numbers thanks to PGA professional James Whitaker.
Cleveland Launcher CBX irons review – First impressions
There’s a fair bit of shelf appeal with these and I think they will work for a wide variety of players.
They are quite large and ‘friendly’ looking but have a really nice stylish design with a brushed chrome finish.
It struck me how nicely they would blend with the new CBX wedges from a purely aesthetic point of view.
Another good thing about the CBX irons is the fact they have the loft stamped on the sole. Why more brands don’t do this baffles me. At the end of the day the loft is all that matters.
Or even better would be to get fitted and then have the number of how far YOU hit it added to the sole.
I digress, but Cleveland say they print the lofts to make sure there aren’t big gaps – particularly at the bottom end of the bag.
So the pitching wedge has 44˚ on it meaning you’ll want a 48 or a 50 next rather than jumping straight to a 56˚ or 58˚ sand wedge.
