![]() ![]() ![]() I then looked to back up my findings with some numbers, so I headed to The Range in central Manchester as usual to use their Foresight technology, collecting ball data to compare how the Launcher stacked up to my own current driver. I was also interested in the performance too - what would the flight be, how would it perform into different wind directions. I wanted to see how the driver felt, sounded, and looked out on the course. "The Launcher HB Turbo Driver delivers more speed off the tee for avid golfers seeking higher, longer, and straighter drives." The Testįirst of all, I headed to Bramall Park Golf Club to play 18 holes. ![]() This should results in better overall ball speeds across the face, and therefore produce more distance.Ī newly redesigned HiBore Crown (which is what HB actually stands for), which features a step close to the face and aerodynamic strikes running down the back of the head, allows the CG to be moved down by 2.2mm.Īn Ultralight hosel, without adjustability, means that the weight stays low and deep to promote higher launch and greater forgiveness levels - the holy grail for amateur golfers looking to improve off the tee.ĭeep weighting, achieved by removing weight in other areas for redistribution and characterised by a chunky sole at the back of the sole, increases MOI (which improves forgiveness) and helps to deliver more speed.įinally, a specially designed Miyazaki shaft has a CG located higher in the grip, which means that additional mass can be added to the head without affecting the overall CG. The previous Launcher HB Driver was released a couple of years back and we were big fans of its ease of use and surprising suitability for a range of golfers, so the new HB Turbo has plenty to live up to!Ī new Turbocharged Cup Face has a variable face for better consistency on off-centre strikes, by raising the COR (Coefficient of Restitution or energy transfer) across a larger area. The Launcher range has been around for a few years now, situated in the 'game-improvement' category. There are four main bits of technology utilised in the Launcher HB Turbo, helping to create a driver which Cleveland is saying launches easily, adds more speed and results in higher and straighter drives. But for the average golfer, who play a game which is completely different altogether, it could be exactly what they need. The scratch golfer at your club probably wouldn't go near it either. No, you're not going to see Tour players popping this in the bag before they head off to their 7500+ yard golf courses. It's designed to be lightweight, fast, forgiving and may also help to straighten your ball flight too. Here's where the Launcher HB Turbo Driver comes in. They have quietly been making clubs built towards the majority of golfers for years - those who are inconsistent, who aren't practising every other day, who don't want to pay for lessons and who are looking for a club which can give them a 'quick fix' for their common swing faults. To be honest, Cleveland is not the first name that pops into my head when it comes to drivers, and I'd be willing to bet the same goes for the majority of golfers reading this.īut perhaps this is where we are all going wrong. ![]()
