Thank you for the review. Just bought them for about 280 pounds 5-Pw. 47 pounds an iron is insane. Gapped them together with my hybrids and wedges. Looking forward to them winter getting them set in my set for the next summer :)
I have been playing the Halo irons for the past year, but I just don't have much confidence in them. I think it's time to upgrade to a not so wide clubhead, so I ordered these. I love Cleveland clubs and I hope these suit me better. New sub!
Hi JP1970! Thanks for watching video and for subscribing! I hope you really enjoy the Launcher XL irons! If it's the thickness of the sole that's putting you off the Halo I think you'll definitely see an improvement with these! Would love to hear how you get on! All the best!
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.
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!
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.
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! 👍🏼
Update - really pleased with these my height has increased immensely, I am a beginner and find these more forgiving than my 20 plus year old Mizuno clubs , I got a fantastic deal on Black Friday 😊
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! 👍🏼
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
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
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
Hey! Thanks for watching! It’s called ‘TrackMan’ and is the TrackMan studio app for the iPad version! They’ve got a few apps and this is the oldest one but it’s the best in terms of features! Thanks for watching! 👍🏼
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! 👍🏼
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!
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
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! 👍🏼
Would you test these irons and what would you do with the £500 you save???
Well done Luke doing this is such bad conditions, I'm now looking at buying these wonderful Cleveland clubs.
That’s for watching Eric and glad it helped! 👍🏼

Bought these today with a graphite shaft , can’t wait to try them out, thank you for the recommendation
Fantastic! I hope you love them as much as I did! Such a great value iron! Would love to hear how you get on! All the best!

@wooley-4535 amazing! That’s really great to hear! Thanks for letting me know! All the best with your golf!
Will for sure test these clubs, thanks Luke for the presentation!
Hi Petter! No problem at all and thank you for watching my video! 👍🏼
Cleveland is by far the most underrated club. Not sure why it gets so overlooked

Great irons. This guy is spot on.

How would the launcher compare against the TM stealth?
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.

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.

@@weekendtourpro thanks very much for the quick response. Much appreciated.

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

If I was to buy these irons, I would go graphite for sure as they worked great in my hands. Hope that helps! 👍🏼
Yes! I would with saved money i would buy cleveland woods!
Love it Antti!
This iron has had pretty good grades from other golf tubers👍. Lets see what you think
I would like to see more lefthand instructions
Hi Taylor! Thanks for watching and the request! Is there anything specific you’d like to see?
