“A huge step.” That’s what Cleveland Golf is calling the latest generation of its Launcher HB Turbo driver and fairway woods. Sleeker, faster and with a higher MOI, the goal with the line remains the same—launch the ball in the air with little spin, delivering long straight drives. With a deeper crown, a lighter hosel and deeper weighting, Cleveland feels they have the right formula to deliver the next generation of Launcher.

Key Technologies:

Weight

Moving discretionary weight out of every part of the club allowed Cleveland to make its most forgiving driver yet.

Turbocharged Cup Face

An evolution of the technology, the Turbocharged Cup Face offers variable-face design, meaning shots that miss the center of the clubface will see more ball speed.

HiBore Crown

The reworked crown lowers the CG on the club by 2.2 mm. It might not sound like a lot, but it is enough to increase launch conditions. When merged with the club’s deep weighting, MOI (forgiveness) increases.

Counter Balanced Shaft Design

A shaft designed specifically for the Launcher HB Turbo, the CG is located higher toward the grip, improving forgiveness further.

Who are they for? Cleveland has separated its line from Srixon by making its clubs more oriented for the game improvement crowd. That’s the case with the Launcher HB Turbo Driver, which is really targeting the golfer who needs some help getting the ball in the air and is seeking a forgiving driver that offers more distance, while balancing the need for forgiveness.
