Cleveland Launcher 330
Tried real hard to find a driver this year I can hit. Tired of using trusty 3wood. Wanted to buy Nicklaus 360 Airmax but I was just not able to hit it square. I was all over the club face. The Launcher 330 was totally different story. I always seemed to hit it square... even with bad swings bakk strick was centered! I think the 330 size head makes you concentrate just enough... the bigger the head the sloppier your swing ??? Definitely gained usable yardage of 20+ yards. I bought the 10.5 with stiff fujikura. BY the way the gold shaft is NOT that ugly on the course! Try the different shafts! I'm right between reg and stiff. Need stiff for first 9 but could use the kick of the reg for the back nine ! Maybe as I play more during the summer my timing will let me hit stiff better. Stiff feels a little dead but is dead straight and fairly long. Grip feels thin... I suspect it will need to be replaced by the end of the summer. Headcover fits nicely but does little to protect shaft. I'm worried one of my irons might bite the shaft! Launcher 330 is excellent club... and for time being cheaper than the 400 ! Customer Service Good informative website! Similar Products Used: Airmax 360 |

Apparently you CAN buy distance and accuracy. This thing is amazing. The first time I hit this club I sent a shot straight as an arrow and over 250 yards. This is easily 20-30 yards farther than my old club and far more accurate. And for the price this club can't be beat. If you're thinking of a new driver this year, you have got to try the Launcher 400. |

Very nice driver. I tested all the latest drivers, and this one was the most comfortable. It is better balanced than the King Cobra (my second choice). I still hit some "bad" shots with it, but my distance and accuracy has much improved. Well worth three hundred bucks! |

9.5 degree with cleveland/ fuji regular shaft. Balance and feel excellent, sets up nicely behind ball. Center of percussion not particularly small, toe shots come off better then heel. Center strikes provide good positive feedback. Trajectory on the high side and ball (Pro V's) seem to hang and fall at appogee. Some roll would be nice but the fairways are still wet. All in all, pound for pound and dollar for dollar the club's a steal. Customer Service Hope I don't need it but cleveland's got a nice web site with specs Similar Products Used: KZ PFT, Nicklaus Ti Air Bear (old one better) |

I recently was in the hunt for a new driver after testing many of the new drivers I fell in love with the launcher.The club allows me with the stiff shaft to go after the ball,unbeleivable length I am 57 and can keep up with players half my age. Accuracy is amazing this club builds confidence like no other driver I have ever used. |

I started golfing six years ago. Since then I have had a few component drivers, but I had never purchased a "brand name." I upgraded my irons last year and thought I would upgrade the driver this year. I started looking at the Taylor Made 500 series. The price was high and I didn't care for the look of the 580 at address. What sold me on the Laucher were two things at first. When I looked at the 400 beside the 330 at a local proshop the size didn't look that much different at address. I liked the fact I could hit a 400cc driver and it didn't look bulky. The second thing that sold me was the price. Cleveland is good value for the money in my opinion. Since I purchased the Laucher I have been very pleased. It has not turned me into a professional golfer, only practice can make you better. I hasn't turned me into a long drive champion either. However, I find it very forgiving and helps keep the ball straighter even on badly hit shots. Launcher is a good name for this club, because it will launch the ball. The last club I had was a non-conforming driver and the Launcher is very close if not equal to it. I like the sound of the Launcher and it has a nice feel. I haven't had much experience with different shafts, but I find the stock works very well. I highly recommend the Launcher 400. Customer Service Haven't had to use.

first off, i never have owned a driver before always tee'd off with my 3 wood since i could get decent distance with it, Own a launcher 13 degree which is great, finally bought a launcher 400 during a cleveland demo day, 10.5 degree with the stock stiff shaft. Let me tell you this club is VERY forgiving, wonderful feel and i highly reccomend it for everyone, tried other drivers, and you cant beat this one for the price. Customer Service dont know yet Similar Products Used: titliest 983 K (good for low handicaps), Gbb 2 (way overpriced not as solid as 400) |

Cleveland Launcher 10.5 Stiff
Feels right & confident when setting up...already 50% up prior to driving the ball off the tee. A great club to start a round at the first tee box especially in the early morning when the body is still "cold". Produces a solid feel at impact, a sure fairway spliter. With a slightly closed face at address enforced with a decent impact, shots are usually straight or produce a quiet draw with an escalating flight. It does gives you improved distance cos of the sweeping angle and also considering the roll. How often do you actually see a 300 over yards carry by Weekend Golfers from the PGA CLUB..(P)eople who (G)olf (A)loud! Wow! "These Guys are Gods". The Launcher 400 is a value for money piece of driver to have in your bag. Customer Service Hopefully don't need it Similar Products Used: Experienced most branded Japanese & US drivers in the market. |

This club rocks. Gets the ball high in the air - definitely more than the Taylor Made 540 I switched from. the altitude translated to both distance and accuracy for me. And the confidence worked its way down to my wedge. Tried several shaft options from friends - they all work well - but the fujikura seemed better to me (not the std made by fujk) |
