Bought to replace old warbird and to match my Launcher 330 driver. Yes, I got this new at a winter clearance for $100. Great ballance, seems to get back to address and hit straiter shots with ease. Hard to say if longer. I don't care about length. If I did I'd get a lower loft. Nice ball trajectory. Nice look. Fuji. shaft is good. Not easy to work the ball. Miss hits give good feedback and fly close to target with some distance loss. Slow swing provides best results. Great off the deck and the tee. Sweetspot feels ... sweet! As good as other fariway woods avail. Customer Service No need yet. Similar Products Used: '94 Launcher 3 wood, Warbird, Steelhead, Taylor 200 |

Hey i'm not writing to say how good of a golfer i'am or how far i can hit it, i'm writing to support an amazing set of Fairway Woods, the weight in the sole is set up perfect to help you get the ball airborne the shaft is a little soft i found aswell but did have exellent results with a slower swing and still had very good distance(i would switch X-Stiff). i've golfed for about 8 years now and i'm 22 and of all my 8 years of golf i've never been so excited about a golf club(s) I 'm going to purchase the 22* and i just can't give up my 975f 14.5* w/ stiff Proforce Fairway shaft. I'm going to have the 22*, re-shafted with Proforce aswell(i don't play a 5 wood). Don't take mine or anyone elses review as the final word, get out and demo all the clubs you can but i do highly recommened you demo these clubs and find out for your self. Cheers SL Customer Service Cleveland Rep. was very informative but that doesn't really count.

13*, stock s shaft
Tried this fairway wood out of my friend's bag. It is fantastic and pretty much everything that everyone is writing - it looks great at address, it feels very sweet and is very long. The 13* is surprisingly easy to get in the air. My only gripe is the shaft. I am a fast swinging 5 handicap, and this club is great on short par 4's for position. However, if I am on a long par 5 and want to get a bit more out of the club, I get a snaphook every time. This never happened with my old reliable, King Cobra 14* with S300 steel shaft. I suspected the shaft was a little soft, as Cleveland shafts sometimes are. I had it tested, and it came up as 5.8, a little short of a true stiff shaft. So I can't really blame that. Has anyone else had this problem Customer Service Not had to use it Similar Products Used: 975F, quadpro, king cobra |

This year was my first ever on a golf course.Beacuse of my young age(14) and my talent... :)i improved my scores alot under the year but i was having problem with the lenght of the holes beacuse i diddn´t hav a fairwaywood or a driver.I bougt this club in the late season and i spend alot of time with it on the range were 85-90% of my shots were straight and with wery good lenght.It isn´t unusually to me to hit it about 245 yards!!! This club has enourmus lenght and i like the feel of it.Oh i almost forgott that the shaft is a UST Proforce 65 stiff.I really recomend this club to anyone that likes the sport and wants to improve the scores.

What a nice club. The Orlimar's are getting sold. I hit this club clean and I hit it long. Of course when I didn't put a good swing on it, it was like any other club. When I put a good swing on it, I nailed it. It's got a good crisp sound to it. I used it on the course for the first time today and put it in a greenside bunker on a par 5 from 215. I typically hit my 3 wood 200 yards. I can see when I get used to it I'll be hitting it further. I bought this club sight unseen but had read good things about it. I did read in a review that the club head was small compared to today's club, and that is right. If you like a bigger club head, buy something else. Awesome club. I'll give it an overall 4 as I don't have enough info on it yet. I also received it for free as I have an awards card through work, so the value was great! |

Just bought a 13 deg. launcher. It is the best 3 wood I've ever hit which includes most of the pro-line clubs-- ping, titleist taylor made, Nikent and Calloway-The launcher looks like a players club--sets up square and has good eye appeal--performance is amazing---solid, consistent in distance and trajectory- good workability and able to hit boreing or high soft shots-- Overall performance is excellent--this one will stay in the bag!!! |

This is the one you look for, that will give you comfort and confidence at the same time. I have been look for the fairway wood for a ahile and end up the conclusion tha tCleveland did great job on this. It is not a wedge company no more. I heard Cleveland Launcher 400 driver is great club according to my buddy, anyway go get one if you look for the fairway wood. I got 3 wood and since I was so pleased with this club, I got 5 wood as well. I was more pleased than when I got 3 wood. Shaft, Fujikura Gold tone shaft makes this club awesome as well. Great performance and awesome look, what do you expect more?

Solid built head, Low Profile pear shaped head- Makes it easier to get the ball airborne Fujikara makes great shafts Solid looking golf club Grip is very comfortable Overall review-solid all around club extremely well built club Highly recommended Golfers at an advanced skill level should buy this club Hgh handicappers will have trouble hitting this club, because of the small head design-they will try to lift the ball up, this will result in thin, and topped shots. Make sure to get the right shaft that matches your swing speed, this option makes all of the difference in your ball striking skills.
