Cleveland is the most under rated brand in golf and has been for years, even their older stuff is excellent, I still play a 10 year old Cleveland driver. Their wedges are probably the only product that get the recognition they deserve.
I tested this today vs. new Ping 430. The halo I got 6100 rpm and 195 yds carry vs. 3800 rpm and 220 yds carry with the ping. This club is super easy to hit but it goes high and spins super high so it wont cut through the wind I imagine. A head wind will take off 20 or 30 yards I imagine.
I uses a 4 halo hybrid and love it. Just wish a had a better shaft selection.
@@williamshaw8756 I think you just explained why my rpms were so high. It is more likely the shaft difference. I tested on a mat and it is probably easier to hit on a course than the ping since it has a larger face and the rails on the bottom.
I still swing my old Cleveland hiBore XL. Loudest driver on the course that turns heads with ball flight and distance.
about 12 years ago I was walking to the course. Found an old launcher driver. Left it for a month at the course and nobody picked it up. I played it for years and although it sounded awful it smashed balls. Loved that driver
Lady golfer with a high handicap. I have Pings and xx10s. Someone told me about the Cleveland launchers so I bought a 5 iron. It's working out really nice. I never thought I'd be buying Cleveland but I am now.
I’m absolutely sold on the Cleveland xl halo! Have a entire bag now ! Never happier and more comfortable on the coarse than I am now!
Thanks, Average guy, As an 81/y/o golfer whose ball-striking has been declining over the years due to age, back, and hip issues, I was so impressed with your (and others) Halos review, I bought the 6-W set in a senior flex and love them. I added a #4 Halo Hybrid (22*) and absolutely love it, As you suggested, it's hard not to hit it on the screws. I previously played Titleist irons and hybrids but am very satisfied with my Halos, snobs be damned.
Thanks for shedding light on one of the "lesser" brands. I don't mean that as a slight to Cleveland, they're equipment is great...it just seems they are ignored in the world of Titliest, TaylorMade, Callaway...etc.
Please do the Hy Wood!!
I think Cleveland makes a great product that fits a lot of people. I think your right about golf snobbery. I’ve played hybrids before they were cool. I have a 6 iron hybrid that is so much more reliable and hits the ball higher and longer than any 6 iron I’ve ever hit.
Great job on these Cleveland videos Andy. I had been thinking and done a lot of research on the halo hybrid irons and went out and bought some. Your video probably put me over the top. Love them! I’ve had Calloway and Taylor Made but these are superb. Highly underrated. I started last year with Cleveland Smart Sole wedges. I will take a serious look at this hybrid too. Still struggling with woods. Thanks Andy!
Bought the Cleveland Launcher XL driver recently. Was so impressed that I’ve just ordered the fairway wood and hybrid as well. I am glad that your review confirms that.
I have the Cleveland launcher irons . I also have the halo 3 hybrid which I use instead of a 3 wood. which I struggle to hit . This does the job for me , gets it airborne and goes the distance . Needless to say my 3 wood is out of my bag
So many positive reviews like yourself that, today I ordered a set of Launcher Halo irons 5- PW look forward to getting good results across the face. I'm 12 handicap
I just wanted to thank you for all these videos on the Clevelands...I just bought the XL Halo hybrid irons yesterday with graphite shafts. I tried the Cobra and the Wilson LP's, but these were the nicest to hit...I think i will be adding one of these woods too. Thanks TAG! My dad is now watching you and he is a Wilson D9 guy. Anyway, thanks again!
I bought the Cobra T-Rails, which are very similar, and they have really helped my game. Now I just hit a couple of mid-irons into most par 4s and keep things in play.
Just brought one of these home today, build quality is top notch, and feels very solid. Good product!
Good video Andy! I think hybrids are a great option for average golfers, and when choosing between brands it maybe comes down to finding a standard shaft which suits you in terms of height and carry distance, because most of us aren't going to get into shaft swapping after we buy hybrids like we might consider with a driver for example.
I'm a bit of a golf snob I've just got fitted for the new rogue driver and my irons are epic 19s but the clubs staying in my bag are the cleavland halo 4 and 5 hybrids that are 6 years old great video mate 👍
i've just purchased one from left handed golf for £119!!! cant wait for the course to dry out to give it a try
Great review Andy..I have some Cleveland Wedges in my bag when I use a irons set that usually puts out some wedges as a filler to their 4 thru PW...As for Hybrid;s, I own only one and that is still a old Cobra Fly Z Hybrid which I got on sale a few years ago. Works great for only hitting it a few times a round...Thanks...
Great review Andy. There is definite golf snobbery regarding these. I’ve slowly come over to Cleveland from Titleist and Ping and it’s purely in preference and ease of use. I now have Cleveland’s Frontline putter (+1.5 strokes gained!) as well as Smart Sole sand and chipper (I’m gaining over a 5 hcp on all chipping) and I now have new Launcher 5/6/7 Hybrid and irons. Brilliant kit and I’ve gone from 8 down to 4.2 using them. Just brilliant.
Another great review! I always enjoy your content. Cheers from Georgia USA!
Recently purchased the Cleveland hy-wood 18* it takes off like a rocket. Flies higher and carries a long way. A very good club. Was looking for a 5 wood type and it fills the bill
Cleveland is all I have in my bag beside the driver
my 19 degrees cleveland hibore is the easiest club to hit in my bag. well underated.
I purchased the Cleveland Halo 3i (hybrid/rescue) when they first came out, its been in my bag 16 years and is still my go to club for 200yds. It is still like new, great build quality.
It is great that you are profiling these clubs. I took the game up last year and wish I had been aware of these products but no-one was reviewing them. I went with Sim 2 irons, which I do love, but think I would have benefitted from these if I had heard of them.
In the last year or so, I have noticed more Cleveland golf sticks in the bags of golfers at my local club.
I have been using their Drivers for two years now ( HB Launcher Turbo 12 and now an adjustable Launcher XL set at 10 degrees). They are easy to hit and I am getting as good as, if not better distance and consistency, as players my age using the big 4 -6 ( including Cobra and Mizuno) Drivers. I recently bought a Cleveland HiBore Driver 10.5 for my travel half set and I am loving it! I have a set a of A flex HB Launcher irons ( several models old now) but as I age further ( now 68) and my R flex single length irons are no longer assisting my performance ( can't hit the distance I expect) the Clevelands will infiltrate into my bag, possibly one club at a time. I think blending the hybrid-irons and maybe Hybrids into the woods-iron clubs gap to get the required inter club distance makes sense. If a club design makes it easy to hit the ball consistently the same distance, why let pride/ snobbery stand in your way.? One lady golfer I know bough a Cleveland Driver, 3 Wood and Hybrid and claims to have dropped 5 handicap points since!
I have a mixed brand golf bag, playing woods and hybrids up to around 30 degree loft. I was playing mainly Cobra clubs until about 2 years ago ( F9 set) but over time the Driver went, then 3 Wood ( replaced by Speedzone/ still Cobra) , I kept the F9 Single length ( best ever universal go-to club) , TS2 7 wood, TS2 27 hybrid, Tour Edge E521 29 hybrid-iron, then 7-LW Milford Golf SL-7 single length irons, Gravity Golf Arc master putter.
Would definitely recommend giving them a go I bought the cleveland uhx irons and love how they play. Will give these a try when I'm looking at changing my hybrids
Had a Cleveland HiBore 5-wood for 15 years. My favorite club in the bag.
My roommate has the launcher halo iron's and they are awesome. I have the launcher xl they are awesome! It's great to see Cleveland getting the love it deserves!
Excellent presentation thank you for your time posting this for us.
I am a high handicap golfer and never hit hybrids or fairway woods good, this club is very forgiving and easy to hit. Great video
Nice clubs. I bought the 3+ Hy wood hybrid a while back to replace my fairway wood and got on with it so well I purchased the 4 and 5 launcher XL hybrids too. The Cleveland wedges I've owned in the past were always more of a premium club, but although the XL range looks to be aimed at the cheaper end of the market I can't fault the build quality.
I have the hy-wood and struggle to hit it. Do you think the hybrids are easier to strike?
I think the combination of a longer shaft and a hybrid head is no good for me.
I saw the 2024 product line up... there will be two hy-woods, a 17 and a 20 degree and it appears they will be 162 and 147 CCs in size vs the current 3 hy-wood is 143 CCs. So bigger heads.. two options vs one.. and with that 17 degree, an option that starts to exceed the distance of a 5 wood without going so low that you need a super fast swing speed to get the ball up.
Went out and purchased one on your recommendation and all I can say is thank you !!! Amazing club !
Thank God you liked it 😅
I bought a new Cleveland Launcher XL driver just a couple of weeks ago. I was looking for something that would suit me, with a regular flex shaft, adjustable loft, good forgiveness plenty of tech and all for a reasonable price. The Cleveland ticked all the boxes. It was almost half the price of some of the "big" brands. I'll be looking out for these hybrids!
I'm not a golf snob, but I'm so happy with my TM hybrids I'd be hard pressed to replace them. I hope you test the Halo Hywood, been looking at that a couple seasons.
I play the previous model HB Turbo driver and Cleveland CBX wedges. I am very happy with them. If I was in the market for new hybrids, I would consider these.
Nail on the head as they say. I’ve been playing the Halo’s this year and absolutely love them, but didn’t even think to look at the Cleveland hybrids before purchasing Ping 425’s.
Thanks. Love your channel. Based on your videos, getting the Halo XL irons. Would you suggest I leave out the 5 and get a hybrid instead?
Hello Andy. So happy I found your channel. This morning I wat he'd you video on the Tour Edge Exotic hybrid. So which is better in you opinion. The Cleveland Halo or the Tour Edge C721? I can buy the Halo for 199.99 US and Tour Edge for 179.99 US. I live in a small town and I am not sure if our local golf shop would have both of these to hit size by side. Las Vegas PGA Superstore is 2 1/2 hours to the Southwest. Perhaps my wife is up for a road trip. Love the channel
looks awesome tried one at the weekend 5 hybrid it was really good. So surprised by it . Might have to get it great review my man 💪
Currently in the market for hybrids and Cleveland are definitely on my radar. My only issue is finding a golf club/centre to try them. I play Wilson D7's 5-GW and would like 2 hybrids up to my Cobra 3 wood, so getting the gapping would be important. Well done again, Andy for highlighting Cleveland's underrated status.
I know Foregolf have the full range available Andy
I have the 4,5,and 6 XL Halo in my bag and regardless of price they are the best hybrids of any brand I've tried. Fantastic launch and very forgiving. I also use Cleveland wedges and fairway woods. My driver is the Srixon Z785 and I play Srixon ZX7 irons. People who think Srixon/Cleveland are an inferior product because they aren't as expensive as other brands are missing the boat. I am a 5 handicap and nothing goes in my bag until I have tried everything available but I always end up with Srixon/Cleveland.
After having 2 different Calloway hybrids in my bag and not being able to hit them, in desperation I traded for one of the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo hybrids and what a difference. I'm not saying every shot is great it isn't but that's more down to me than the club. Overall it is a lot more forgiving and the distances I can get from it amazes me!
I took up golf again last August and I wish I had known about Cleveland then as I would of probably bought a bag full of them.
Just fitted with two Halo XL Hybrids. Absolutely fabulous. Money aside, these are so easy to use. BUT, get fitted. I am 72 yrs old and the 'A' flex shaft was much longer and easier to swing than my previous Regular shaft.
Really pleased with my RTX3 wedges. Perform beautifully. Would happily try out some of their other products.
Mark Crossfield reviews the Cleveland Launcher Halo HyWood 3+ which is a great video. Based on this review , I bought this club and it performs for me so much so that I don’t carry a 3 wood anymore. For under $300 AUD one of the best buys l have ever made. Not sure if there’s much a difference in performance between the 3 hybrid and the Hywood 3+ except that this shaft is 1 inch longer as I haven’t tried the standard 3 hybrid.
A review I’ve been waiting for.
Was really hoping to actual see the product and how it looked in your hand instead of online images
I have a cleveland 7 iron I love. Great sound, easy to hit. If I was buying a hybrid I’d try this.
Andy, great review, I will be trying them when I replace my hybrid and 3w. But the only issue is getting fit to lower the spin. I was fit for my driver. Low spin model with low spin shaft, are there places you can get fit fully?
I have a Cleveland Classic Driver that I love and a Cleveland Launcher DST 7 wood that I found in the used club bin at Edwin Watts for $30. Best $30 I've ever spent on golf equipment.
Used to have a Cleveland launcher driver years ago and when I got it out the middle it would go a country mile and being a 28 handicapper was pretty forgiving and if more professionals like Corey Pavin used too way back when. Currently now I use a 7/9 wood as the old saying goes there are no pictures on a scorecard.
I have only bought one set of golf clubs brand new since my first half set of Dunlop from argos 40 plus years ago. I have always bought second hand irons untill 2013 when I purchased a set of Benross irons that do exactly what they say on the tin. So a club snob I am not but most golf outlets don't sell Cleveland clubs and our club has no pro shop but I'm interested in these hybrids
This is an excellent club. Your previous video sold me on it.
I’ve been using Cleveland’s 3+ Hy-wood as an alternative to a 5 wood and love it. Easy to launch; and great price point. Yes, it’s a lesser known less high profile brand, but it’s performance and value are fantastic.
I am going to be trying these hybrids and have thought about the 3+. I hit my current Taylor Made Burner 5 wood so well though. But it is old and I don't think as versatile as the 3+. Do you happen to know the difference between the standard 3 hybrid versus the 3+ ? Just curios. If I am getting their 6 thru 3 hybrids would I replace the 3 with the 3+. Guess I'll know once I go in for a fitting.
@@Alan_Edwards I play the 3+. It's a compromise between the 3 hybrid and a 5 wood. The shaft is shorter than the 5 but longer than the 3. The head is smaller than the 5 but larger than the 3. I am not getting the distance that I did with the 5 just a little longer than the 3. But, I can use the 3+ on the fairway, the rough and the fairway bunker.
@@roberthudec6949 Thanks I appreciate the information.
I just picked up some cleaveland HB launcher irons after hearing how forgiving they are. For some reason I keep hitting the ball with a closed face it will start straight then pull about 20 yards left, never had that issue on my previous set of irons; if anything the occasional shot would go right. So now I'm consciously trying to correct my shot with the irons, wondering if I just need to get used to the club face looking more like a hybird, or I need a fitting.
I subscribed because you did this video watched lots of others really enjoyed them but we could all expect the latest top priced clubs to perform but there are so many untested or reviewed clubs out there and how do you tell them apart when the swing you put on the ball is the key factor… most of us aren’t consistent enough by far what we want to know is on average pound for pound what will help us have a more enjoyable game
Ive. Got a launcher 460 from 2006 in my bag … had it since 2006 its still an epic club
I recently picked up a cobra F6 baffler 4/5 fairway wood. It's very similar to the Halo 3 Hybrid in concept and size.
Played a Ckeveland Halo 10years ago and loved it. Was the best club in my bag.
Srixon has had some of the best hybrids for a long time. Good to see the tech filtering through to the Cleveland part of the company.
most of us golfers suffer from brand blindness me included always tend to go for the big hitters out there taylormade callaway ect i did have cleveland wedges in the bag for a while and loved them unfortunately you are so right 90% of us will never give them a second glance
I have a Cleveland Launcher Driver XL which I love - I also have a Cleveland Halo 3 Hybrid which replaced my 3 wood which I also love and I have a Cleveland 4 Halo hybrid Iron which is awesome. As a relatively new golfer I need all the help I can get and these Cleveland clubs have really helped my game. The price point is also realistic. The golf snobs don't know what they are missing out on.
I have the 6,5,4 and 3+Hy-wood in my bag. Also the halo irons 7-SW, love them✌🏻also the driver and 5 wood.
Hi there, I’m really interested in the hy-wood, but I recently tested the halo 5 wood and was really impressed with that. Do you find that the 5 wood out performs the Hy-wood as I already have a 19 degree 5 wood, which I’m hitting around 190-200yds.
Cleveland wedges were always desirable
Watched te earlier vlog few months ago with the fairway hy launch which are now over here and was impressed
Went and tried the other day and order placed , seriously easy to hit and get of the ground and cheap
Awesome value and performance from these clubs, best valued golfing purchase I have ever made was the halo big sticks, driver 3wood and 4 fairway.
4hybrid I should say.
I’d love you to review the Cleveland XL Launcher Irons!
Hi from down under. I have Cleveland Turbo Driver (200m plus carry), Cleveland 3 wood, Cleveland HYBRID 4, and Cleveland 56SW. My iron are TourEdge Iron/Woods. Very similar to Cleveland's but cheaper and again under rated clubs. PS I'm 76 yrs.
I've got a launcher hybrid in the bag and I love it
Got me cbx wedge couple days ago. I guess its an highhandicap wedge. And it reallly seems so, its been easy to hit. It reminds me of the UHX-irons. Well anyway...im starting to believe in Cleveland really and understand that im not a very good player. All their easy products are just like made for me. Happy to take advantage from them. Oh...just checked. They have had a line cbx-irons too...four years ago about launched.
I’ll likely be replacing my bazooka 470s with the launcher xl line. I have 5 Cleveland CBX Zipcore wedges and they are simply PHENOMENAL! Honestly, my starter set tour edges have been really good clubs and have served me well.
Cleveland fan here. Love them. Play UHX irons. Ive had all brands, UHX are the best Ive ever had. Im a minimalist, big hybrid 19 user. Have TM sim and Cobra GTec 19s at moment, but these look even better. Dont ignore Cleveland chaps and chapesses. Quality stuff.
I have got myself the xl hy-wood. Awesome club, has replaced my 5 wood!
Have the 5 hybrid in the bag ! Thanks Andy !
I'd definitely give these a try. No snobbery here it's all about performance .
Ive got the 4 hybrid. It perfectly fills the gap between my 5 iron and my 5 wood. Great club at a great price. I did notice the new 2024 model prices greatly increased
Great review , I had some of the first halo hybrids given to me a birthday present , yes they did look like an elephant’s toenail but I thought ok let’s give them a try . What a surprise indeed these great little secret weapons were total green seekers. But I have to agree the latest version you have there look just as good as other brands. Good golf should be about what works best for you the player, and not by the marketing hype merry go round or price point.
I got a set of HB3'S, and upgraded my clevrland cbx2's for some smartsole 4's. I added a radspeed 3W so I had to take out a club. Love my 3W so much I took out my halo 3hybrid 19° and put in a radspeed 19°. So we are clear, there is little difference between the cleveland and Cobra htbrid, but I do think I get a touch longer distance with the cobra. That face is HOT on cobra. Now, I need a 5W and want speed rails. Does the cleveland 5wood have speed rails??
I love Cleveland golf clubs. I have the Cleveland ti driver and it's the most consistent club in my bag
I have the opposite issue - I'm actuvely seeking game improvement clubs at all of my local shops, and none of them are even stocked. I rely on videos like these to give me the confidence to order online.
I have a xl halo 3 18 degree hybrid, 3 thru pw hb turbo hybrids, Cobra f6 + driver, taylor made 3 wood (never use). I use 10 clubs only, 77 years old. Playing better now than I did when I was 60. Love these Cleveland hybrids, gained one club length. Do play from senior tee's. Do hit the 3 hybrid about 190. I do play steel shafts 4 thru pw. Not big on grafite. 3 hybrid does have grafite regular shaft.
Hi Andy. I have the 4 and 5 on order. Sadly, there seems quite a delay until delivery but I’m really excited for them to arrive. Even more so after your video. Cheers.
Hi again Andy. My hybrids finally arrived this week. Played with them yesterday and they were fantastic! As you said, they are so easy to hit, they sound/feel amazing and produce really good distance. Am now looking at getting the hy-wood to match. For anyone out there thinking about these, just go for it. Highly recommended!
Great video! I have the Cleveland 3 wood. I love it. I have no brand loyalty if I hit it well I take the one I hit best.
I struggle with my Callaway 3 wood so I have ordered a Cleveland 3+ 18 degree loft to replace it. This club is supposed to combine the benefits of a 3 wood and a hybrid.
Brought one this morning wrapped with how i hit it, great feel
I loved your video on the halo launcher irons. I am very interested in them and have been looking up and watching as many videos on them as I can. If they perform I would not hesitate to put them in the bag. My dilemma: there is no way to try them ahead of time! As amateurs, we do not have access to testing clubs. If I could use a complete set of these for a 1 round test and I loved the results, I would buy them immediately. The trouble is, I cannot afford to drop $900 on clubs I have not tested. I am currently using Cleveland's 2 launcher wedges. Cleveland needs to get the halo launcher irons onto shelves and into demos. Without that, we can't buy them. Thank you for your videos. I love your delivery and your method of sharing
Thanks for feedback and appreciate the compliments 👍
Posted earlier to say exactly the same - no way to get these clubs in France other than untried through online purchase at high premiums for import duties and delivery. No way can I buy without trying, and nobody offers fitting for these clubs, although Halpenny golf offer lots of options, but there's no way to find out which options to choose since nobody can try before buy. OK it's a supply chain issue says Cleveland, but who can buy these clubs blind?
Nice clubs which would you choose Cleveland or the wilson offering??
Late to the party 🥳
I've had the Mashie M2 and M3 hybrids in my bag for nearly 10 years now. Maybe not as forgiving against the newest version from Cleveland but if budget is a concern then your average golfer can pick these clubs up for around £40 a stick. It would be interesting to see a comparison video Andy between the old and the new Cleveland hybrids.
The Halo 3+ Hy wood is a great replacement for someone who struggles with fairway woods .I went wit the Callaway UW ,looked cleaner and I liked the feel better and the shaft offerings were better suited to my game but I was impressed by the Hy wood.
Hope to try soon
I absolutely LOVE my hybrids, LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM !!!!!
My hybrids are a very unknown brand but my God they are awesome I've never played hybrids until now and I will never ever ever go back 👍👍
I have the latest rogue driver and i210 irons but still game cleverland hi bore rescues that are at least 15 years old, I know that because I holed in one with the three hybrid in 2007. They just fit and feel good, it would be interesting to try these new hybrids
Andy, first I want to thank you for your reviews... When you did PXG reviews last year, I went and tried them...now I use them and love them so thanks. The question I have for you, because it appears you and I hit the ball about the same distances, is I have a gap between my 4 iron and 5 wood. I am looking for something the carries 200-205 yardage range...7 wood? 3 hybrid perhaps?
Try both
I’ve used the Cleveland HyWood for the last two months and really like the performance, it replaces my 3 Hybrid gives me greater length with really good dispersion and again the price is very good.
I’m thinking of getting this club but struggle with the longer length shafts on woods. How easy is this to hit and what hybrid did you replace it with?
Hi Andy, anynllans for reviewing the cleaveland Hy-woods range?
Love my halo xl irons but go from the 5 iron to a 5 wood and then a 3 wood. I've been thinking about a hybrid but I like my 5 wood to much. If, however, I catch a sale on one it might just find it's way into the bag.
A.G., I play the Wilson D9 irons (6-GW) D9 3, 5, 7 & 9 woods PXG 0211 Driver ALL were custom fitted and about half the price of the BIG GUYS.
I recently bought this club, but haven't even hit it yet. Now I want to go out and try it
Been playing cleveland for years one of the best value clubs out there going to go try the launcher irons them hollow power bats
As you have tested the Hybrid and the Hy Wood, maybe you could give me some advice. I have put the Hy Wood in my bag and absoluly love it. I would like to add a Cleveland Hybrid now. Which one should i consider? The 3 Hybrid has 18 Degrees loft as well. What was your carry distance like for the 3 Hybrid vs the Hy Wood? Is the 4 Hybrid the right club to buy if i allready game the Hy Wood?
Good review. Have you tired their Hywood?
I have a 3+ and a 4 and I love them! (18 and 21 degree)
