    I think you are missing a critical element. 98% of us golfers are weekend warriors. The Wilson LP is by far the best value. I own them and have played with them since July 2022. They have improved my game significantly and I only paid $640 for the set. I went from mid 90's to low 80's overnight. At 55, they are all I need.

      I had the D300s and hit the LPs and both are extremely quick off the face. The LPs gave me a higher launch and amazing carry still - I love mine as well. I really like that you both tested these side-by-side and gave real results

    I put the Cleveland in my bag beginning last year and am very happy. I did try the Cobra as well but found it not as easy to control but with similar distance. I’m a 73 year old with an 17 handicap. I do not pay much attention to looks or sound, much more concerned with my results. Thanks great video.

    I’ve been playing the Trails for about a year now. I play to around an 8-10 cap but only hit the ball around a 145 carry with the 7i. I struggle with launch and spin. Like these guys they gave me the most spin out of any iron I’ve tried at that loft. Very underrated set of irons.

    Thanks for doing such a comprehensive review on these clubs. I've been doing lots of reading up on high handicap clubs and you have convinced me to go with the Cleveland launcher irons, driver etc based on your great reviews.
    I know you recommended the cobra irons, but alongside the Cleveland driver review I decided to go with Cleveland.
    Looks are secondary if I can get launch, height and some forgiveness

    I'm a golfer that's been playing for close to 10 yrs. on and off. I've always had trouble with irons, about 3 years ago my golfing buddies and I went to 2nd Swing and I saw the Cleveland Hibore irons they told me that I should try them out being I hit hybrids very well. So I did and haven't looked back, I'm 46 these have made me enjoy the game like I should. All I've done is work on my swing a little bit which I needed to do anyway. And all I do is swing and the club does the rest. So if you are upset with iron play like I was give them a try well worth it. A suggestion try finding single clubs first to see if it's for you like by a set of 3 like 5,7,&9 to start off instead of buying a full, just a suggestion.

    Playing T-rails (6-SW) since end of 2019 and absolutely the best irons I have used. The forgiveness and turf interaction are second to none and really shine in wet and tight conditions. Get fit with the right shaft and these are a game changer.

    I'm 51 and my handicap ranges from an 8 to a 12 (mainly do to my driver). I was using the Wilson C200's, I always had trouble hitting my 5 iron. I tried the Wilson LP 5 iron and loved it. I ended up getting the hole set but re-shafted them. I do have head covers for them. I am only about a half club shorter than my older set. When using these iron's, when I hit the green, they generally hit and don't move.

    Always struggled with my iron game, but never with woods or hybrids. So got rid of my r7s and started using the Cleveland Launchers last year. They dramatically changed my iron play, and helped me drop from 20 to 15 last year. I’m in my 30s so swing speed isn’t an issue, but I can swing a little slower and focus more on strike. 7 iron goes roughly 155-165, gets up in the air, and stops when I manage to hit a green. For a hobbyist/weekend warrior like me, they’re great.

I have tried multiple types and brands of clubs and these are definitely the best clubs for me. I'm a 70 year old senior with a 20 handicap. Also, my handicap has done nothing but improve since I started gaming these clubs.

    Have been playing an older set of hybrid styled clubs (Adams) that were my Dad's. They are graphite shafts, senior flex, oversized grips and quite a large head. I didn't think I would like them but I do! I did pick up a little distance over my traditional cavity back irons (Adams - regular graphite shafts) but the big win is ease of playing them and forgiveness on miss hits. I even got an ace after only 5 rounds of use. I like them so much that I ordered a set of Cobra t-rail combo with graphite shaft (senior flex). They state they come with Lamkin midsize grips which you don't mention in your review but something that my Dad's clubs had that I liked. I'm 64 years old, shoot in the 80's consistently and hit my 7 iron around 140 yards. Excited to see how these new irons compared to my Dad's clubs, and my old Adams clubs. May the best clubs win!

    I have been playing Cleveland HB Turbo irons head for approx 9 months now and I absolutely love them...there is allot going behind the ball as they say (can be distracting) but they play/ hit advertised. My best score to date is 76....my scores have dropped 10 points on average. They are very forgiving clubs.

  • @Capo51
    @Capo51 2 года назад +5

    Hi Dan, I changed from Wilson to Celeveland HB turbo set : irons, wedges, hydrid, woods, driver, with Miyasaki graphite shaft. From the first hit they felt good: excellent control, also forgiving, and with driver also better distance with control. My hcp went down remarkably within 3 months, and the estimageis, that trend will continue now nxt season of 2022. I am very happy with the choice, and even if Cleve is not considered by many to belong the category of top brands, I think they would challenge and perform very well in blind tests, if that could arranged like they do wine tests! For club players over 5 hcp they can offer for very good value on money plus also competitiveness needed. But... There are many ppl, who buy only brand and sometimes choose for themselves too demanding clubs to perform properly. Well, that gives edge to players who are able to choose the clubs that fit to their ability and style. In this test you chose Cobra as winner, which result was well argumented. ✌️

    Dan and Lee, I have a set of the Cobra T Rail Hybrid irons ( I'm a senior golfer about a 17 handicap ), I have a 5 hybrid and 6 through SW in the hybrid irons. I've only played one round, so I can't really judge them yet but I like the feel and I think they will perform above my expectations. And yes, you need to have them in your bag with headcovers or they will chip up badly. I've watched you from the Mark Crossfield days and you've created a very distinct and enjoyable channel , everyone including Lester and lee and your brother + Wilber bring something to the channel.

  • @leighhymus-gant2403
    @leighhymus-gant2403 3 года назад +4

    Hi Dan, I use the Clevelands, love them. I play off 16, slow swing speed. They go the same distance as a regular iron would go but are far easier to launch. The six and five irons are great also out of the rough instead of having to use a more lofted iron to get out of it. Would recommend them, I think it's
    the look of them that would put most off using them, and the fact that some might take the mickey,
    but if your prepared to swallow your pride and play something far easier to use and lower your handicap then give them a go.

  • @markwilcock0725
    @markwilcock0725 3 года назад +4

    I would never have thought about Wilson before buying my launchpads but they were the 1st irons in over 30 years of playing golf that I felt like would smash the ball a long way b4 even hitting it. They sit behind the ball so nice. The only trouble I have had with them is it is hard to shape the ball left to right..

  • @robertcourt8593
    @robertcourt8593 3 года назад +5

    I find it quite interesting when I hear or see a review of these clubs. I played the Cleveland's for a while and quite liked them but I didn't really find them any easier to use than I do any other club I've tried. You still have to put a square face on the ball from a fairly neutral path and get decent contact to get any sort of useable performance from them.
    I'm a slow swing speed player and the best thing I've done for my game is to put a 22° fairway in, a 26° and a 30° hybrid and then I play only 4 short irons/wedges.

  • @richardhandy9291

    Fantastic Dan, been waiting for someone to do this review. I'm early 50's and was once a good single figure golfer. However, having come back to golf in recent years, I just want as much help as possible to make the game more enjoyable. Been struggling with my Titleist AP1 irons, so picked up a second hand cleveland 7 iron...what a revelation!! Easy to hit, plenty of height, and no problem with stopping shots on the green. Haven't noticed any distance benefit, but perhaps a fitting might help with that. Really love the look of the Cobra so might wait till the new ones come out and get a fitting done. Perhaps I might book myself in with you for that. Be worth a trip down from Monmouth

  • @fourwood8451

    I have been watching several reviews for these type of irons as I am thinking of buying a set, and the issue I have is that all of you use low or scratch golfers to test what is a mid to high handicap set of clubs. Therefore it is difficult to get a feel for what they play like.

    I bought them but have been looking for reason to return them on their 90 day return policy but the more I hit them the more likely I am to keep them. I hit them comparing to my old irons and these are much better.
    Haven’t actually played a round with them yet but look forward to doing that this Friday.

    I was previously fitted for the UHX irons (which I love) but the neither the Launcher (in 4 and 5 irons) or Halo (3 iron) could beat my old Nike VR-S 3-5 iron rescues when I went for a hybrid fitting at the end of last year. I was pleased with the 1.0-1.5 club improvement with the UHX irons over my Mizunos and hoped to get a similar boost from Cleveland's new offerings. However on the day I ended up getting something like 7-10 yards less and with worse dispersion . Fair play to the Cleveland/Srizon fitter who told me to stick with my old clubs and didn't pressure me to change.

    recently purchased the Cobra King Tec irons and have decided to replace my fairway woods (7-9-11) that I play as hybrids with Cobra T-Rail set (4-6) to create my own combo set of irons. I believe the T-Rails (played the Baffler hybrids previously) will give the same confidence as the fairway woods but more accuracy but maintain the scoring irons with more traditional irons.

    I used the Adams Idea Tech this year with the same tech as these from a few years ago. The performance is great and I’ve noticed that I concentrate on watching the ball and the look of the iron is irrelevant if you like the feel and ball flight which is high. They also have good spin and stop fairly quickly on the green. So, if you like this technology and want to spend a lot less, buy an older set of Adams Idea Tech. Same thing for a bargain price.

    @bradfordcotta5925 3 года назад +3

    2 years ago, I had a freak accident on the course (stepping into a large hole that was overgrown with grass, so I couldn't see it) and dislocated my hip. I couldn't do anything for about 6 weeks but wanted to play after that. I needed a set of clubs that was easy to launch with a slower swing speed that I had to take until fully healed. I got those Cobra T-Rails. They were great when my swing speed was low and allowed me to enjoy the game for a good 4 months. The issue I had was when I was fully healed. Those clubs, as you saw, spin great but they spun too much for me at that point (I was spinning the 7-iron at 8000+ rpm so the ball was ballooning). All that being said, when my clubhead speed starts going down with age, I wouldn't hesitate to put those T-Rails into play. Just realize that the black paint comes off the clubfaces after about 10 rounds, so they won't look as nice as the one you were using after a short period of time.

    I have hit all three of them. Had trouble making decent contact with the Wilsons. Was fitted for the T-Rails but they were out of stock at the time so went with the Cleveland launcher HB. Played with them a year and half. Had trouble with consitsinty going from driver to fairway to hybrid to irons to to wedges being fitted with 5 different shafts in the set. Sold everything but my CBX2 wedges and putter. Going to a 13 piece all hybrid set of Bang-O-Matic 12°-61°. May loose some distance at top end but will have same shaft through out the set and a steady half inch increments between clubs.

    I have played a 2-PW in the Lazrus hybrids. I have used these for about 18 months. I can do it, but for a weekend golfer, I prefer irons for a 7-PW. I have mixed in irons and recently moved to the older Adams V3 set. These seem to be the best for me.
    Yes I have some great hybrid head covers I got from Amazon, about $30 for a set of 10.

    Would be great to see the ‘better players’ version of these - the taylormade DHY in a 25/26 loft- is something I think a lot of golfers could do with before moving to a 23 hybrid.

    I always wanted to see something on the Cobra's. I used to have the Baffler XL irons and loved them because they were so easy to hit. I've hit the Clevelands before and thought they were decent. Something about the Wilson just by looking at them that don't appeal to me.

    Getting the wilson launchpad irons soon. Already got the 4 iron and it's so easy to hit. Playing off 8 atm, but can see the scores dropping further soon.

    Got a Cleveland Launcher 5 iron. Straight from the box to the course so no range time. Hit 5 shots with it in 9 holes - never hit anything easier. That has to stay i the bag as a replacement for the Titleist T300 5 iron. Came home this morning and bought a set 6 iron to PW - got to worth an experiment

    I started playing with the old Tour Edge clubs similar to those and loved them. But when it came to touch and finesse I didn't like them. The one thing I took from what you said, "I don't need a 7 iron going as far as a 4 iron." I too want to depend on my club distance I have been used to. Thanks for the review. Excellent.

    I'm a 5 handicap and play the older 588 altitude version of the Cleveland iron and once I swing weighted them they play just as good as any club to be honest.

    I bought a used set of the older cleveland hibore XLI as I wanted to just have a set of point and shoot clubs. Must say after my first round with them, they did exactly what a high handicap casual like myself wants-- point at flag- hit towards flag. I am hoping to get them to a launch monitor to get distances sorted, but as of now, its the best $100 I've spend on golf.

  • @ianashton1226
    @ianashton1226 3 года назад +6

    My index is 14 (and improving) and my swing speed pretty avg (90mph with driver). I got 5-SW in the Clevelands back in Dec. Still early days on course (only c8 rounds due to COVD) but I already know they’re gonna help me score better. Launch is a bit higher and distance up maybe half a club BUT... that’s not the real story: the biggest difference is forgiveness. Fat/thin shots go SO much better

  • @mikeg1559
    @mikeg1559 Год назад +1

    I hit these 3 today, I don't hit my irons very well so I'm going to hybrids. I didn't really care for the Wilson's but I loved the Cleveland and cobra, they were both very easy to hit and felt great. I think I could get the cobras a little higher and farther but both were very straight price might end up being the deciding factor 🤔

  • @alanharris9518
    @alanharris9518 3 года назад

    Got the hb 7 to see if it was me,, easy to hit straight and high,, but distance was a issue for me,,, touredge got a similar set out with change head in loft and lie,, 4 degrees down,, or up,, now that's interesting,, on sale american golf,, cheers Alan 🤔👍😎

  • @philipryan1669
    @philipryan1669 3 года назад +2

    Great video but I don't get why everybody always says that they are for older or not very good golfers. I have just got back In to golf after 6 year break. I hit the ball well enough with my old clubs but wanted the game to be even easier and bought a full set of the Wilson's last week. I have pretty good ball speed and I am 35 years old. All I can say is that I have gained distance, height, control and confidence with them and that's all that matters. Even if I was a scratch handicap I would still play these as I don't see the point In making the game harder than it already is. Now I can swing smoother and still get the results.

    Bought my girlfriend a set of these last year and it was night and day. We split the set at 7 iron and went with the t rail hybrids in 6,5,4. She almost never misses the green from 150 in. Let her have my headcovers to keep them from chipping.

    I game a Cleveland Launcher 6iron. Love it ..and it's my go to club at 175. I also keep a my standard 5 Iron in the bag for when the wind is up and I'd prefer a punch shot.

    @mikereed3287 3 года назад

    I am playing four hybrids (3-4-5-7) then regular irons (8-9-p-g-s). I tried this style club and went with hybrids instead. You should review some of the higher lofted hybrids which are available and some of the higher lofted fairways to compare.

  • @user-cn1ce6vl8l
    @user-cn1ce6vl8l 7 месяцев назад

    I was introduced to these clubs by a pro golfer who plays them. They make golf more fun. I've been a 20 + handicap all my life and then on my pro freind's advice, I started playing the Cleveland Launcher Halo's. I started dramatically lowering my scores to reach a 5- 6 handicap in a just fews months. These clubs are remarkable in every way. They are easier to hit and you'll hit more greens because of the higher launch and greater control ( they go straighter). More green means more pars and more birdies. Miss shots means more bogey and doubles - plain and simple.

    I have just moved to the Ping 701s which are great to use. I opted for graphite shafts. Do you recommend that your seniors go down the graphite route if their swing speed is below a threshold?

  • @peterkelly9655
    @peterkelly9655 3 года назад

    Do you know when the new trails are out Dan? Also does the descent angle on these irons substitute for the low spin (Esp the Wilson)? Would they still hold the green?

  • @markpoppe8681
    @markpoppe8681 2 года назад +1

    I am right on the cusp between good swing speed but inconsistent launch because I can't play often enough to improve. I have Cobra Speedzone irons and have been switching out the long irons for hybrids and fairway woods. I love my Speedzone 7wood. I have ordered a T-rail 6 iron in the hope of higher and more consistent launch. If it goes well I may replace the rest. What do you think of the T-rail heads with a stiff shaft??

    I got a set o Launch Pads in reg. Steel late last summer. I traded a set of JPX 9117 Hot Metal s for them. I really liked the Mizunos, but now I am over 70 with a couple of bad joiints, I couldn't generate the club head speed I could 5 years ago. I love the Wilsons, I picked up about 10 yards a stick and do't hesitate to hit the 4 iron. The 4 ane 5 irons were becoming more and more problematic.. I tried all 3 sets in both steel and graphite. Although my clubbed speed would indicate A flex the 80 gram shafts in the Wilsons felt the best to me.

      I got the Cleveland irons and my buddies rib me about them but I don't care. I think it kinda ticks them off when my iron game with these is better than theirs and they have Mizunos or Titleist irons.

    Good review. Lee doesn't really get it but Dan does (as he said "I'd like to see a lot more golfers put these in their bag"). Way too many people think they shouldn't play these and should be playing 'players' irons.

  • @2Eaglez
    @2Eaglez 2 года назад +1

    Watched this video with great interest. Two things I noticed, first your swing speed was much higher than most senior golfers and second there is a HUGE drawback to the Cobra. The black finish on the club face will look really bad after a few hundred hits.

    Great stuff, chaps. Although I’m not the demographic these are aimed at (mid-40s, 12 HCP, fitted in T100s with 130g KBS X Flex shafts) I’d love to have a go with the Cobras. Were you playing your usual shafts in the three heads?
