Our Cleveland Launcher HB driver review took place at the Golf Shack at Moor Allerton in Leeds.
We gathered data using the Foresight GC Quad thanks to PGA professional James Whitaker.
Cleveland Launcher HB driver review – First impressions
We saw and tested the Launcher HB at Cleveland’s launch event earlier this year.
This is a range that many people will remember from years ago but it has been brought back with a new design philosophy.
It’s very friendly at address due to it’s size and has a fairly rounded shape.
There are no alignment aids on the crown but there’s a grey curve which does help frame the ball quite nicely.
There’s no adjustability at all and it just feels light and easy to swing. Feels like a no-nonsense sort of a driver.
Cleveland Launcher HB driver review – The technology
We caught up with senior product manager Brian Schielke at the launch event who explained that removing adjustable features meant every effort could be put into improving the performance.
Cleveland say the ‘launcher cup face technology’ helps increase forgiveness on off centre hits by creating a larger sweet spot, and the lightweight hosel design helps to push the weight lower and deeper in the club.
