Cleveland Golf has unveiled its three new Launcher XL woods: the Launcher XL Halo fairway wood, Launcher XL Halo hybrid, and the Launcher XL Halo Hy-wood.

Like the Launcher XL driver, which launched last week, the new Launcher XL Halo fairway woods are built with a larger overall framework with Halo perimeter weighting and increased MOI in design for added forgiveness.

The new additions feature Gliderail technology, which aims to help deliver a square face at impact for a pure strike, and a new Rebound Frame club structure designed to direct more energy into the golf ball at impact for more ball speed.

Speaking on the new fairway woods, Dustin Brekke, Director of Engineering at Cleveland Golf, said

“The new Launcher XL HALO Fairway Woods are the most forgiving and confidence-inspiring fairway woods Cleveland Golf has ever made. With an extreme high MOI design, GlideRail technology and Rebound Frame, the Launcher XL Fairway Woods provide distance and consistency never before seen for game improvement players.”

Cleveland XL Halo fairway woods

The Launcher XL Halo fairway woods feature a larger head with extreme perimeter weighting (MOI of 3,338 g-cm² in the 3-wood), the most ever in a Cleveland Golf fairway wood.

With the new Gliderail technology, twin rails along the club’s sole are designed to help keep the face straight through impact for optimal ball striking off the tee or from the deck.

The Rebound Frame Club structure sees a flex zone in the face and a second flex zone in the body of the club work in sequence in a bid to direct more impact energy into the golf ball, increasing ball speed and distance. At the same time, an 8g weight placed inside the end of the grip seeks to provide better balance for more control without added effort.

In addition, a HiBore Crown Step brings the height of the crown down, dropping the center of gravity and raising the launch characteristics in the process.

With the new Launcher XL Halo Hy-Wood, Cleveland has introduced a club that sets up like a hybrid but in design to deliver fairway wood-style speed and distance, which the company are calling the “perfect go-to club for maximum second shot distance and control”.

Cleveland XL Halo hybrids

The Cleveland Launcher XL hybrids feature an MOI of 2,961g-cm² – also the most ever in a Cleveland Golf hybrid, while three rails along the sole of the club have been engineered in design to help keep the face straight through impact for optimal ball striking regardless of the lie.

As with the fairway woods, the hybrids feature a Rebound Frame Club structure for more ball speed, while 8g weight has also been placed inside the end of the grip to provide better balance for more shot control.

In addition, the hybrids from Cleveland also include a stepped crown to bring down the COG to increase the launch characteristics.
