Just wondering if anyone knows why there would be about a $500 + difference in price between the Cleveland Launcher irons and the Launcher LP irons?

I really have no idea, the website indicates, "Launcher LP irons feature a lower profile for those golfers who desire more control in their game."

Outside of that they state they're made from the same material so I couldn't imagine they're too much different, although the price difference would indicate otherwise...

Exactly, that is why I was asking. These irons are on my short list once I get my fitting straightened out, but I prefer the look of the Launcher irons to the Launcher LP irons, the red turns me off. I really like the TA6's, too, but they seem to be out of production... I have found them on some websites but I am not sure about getting them custom fit...

I think you can get some really great deals on TA6's currently, I know that they have them at my local shop, Austads for 499.99 and you get a free bag. When it comes to fitting, there's some clubfitters on the board that could speak to this with more knowledge, but I think most shops have the ability to lengthen or shorten shafts, and even bend a club +/- 2 degrees if necessary.

Yes, I think I may go that route, because I can get them at a nice discount, maybe I can get them fitted later... I can get the Launcher LP's for $300...

hey, i just picked up these irons a week ago or so, and they are amazing...they have a thinner sole than the regular launchers, but i found they were both a lot easier to hit than other brands' irons...also, i went to a pro shop and got fitted for my launcher lp's for $340 (4-PW, and i ordered the GW as well)...the regular launchers were $500 for the 4-PW...as for why there is such a big gap, i can't tell you, but i can say that i found little difference between the two...

Thanks, they seem like a good iron for sure, and a great price...

Well, after a lot of thought and questioning I finally bit the bullet and ordered the Launcher LP irons... I was able to get the shaft I wanted, but I had to go with standard length, loft, and lie. I think this is fine because I saved a lot buying them online, and I plan on getting them fit properly once I get them, this is still possible, correct? The length is proper for me anyway, so just a slight change in lie should actually do it, but I am assuming I will be able to take them to a shop and actually use them with the contact tape, etc... to get fit correctly?

    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin. 
    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
    • Backswing: Body is responsible for taking the club around. Arms are responsible for making the club go up.  Downswing: The process is reversed. Weight Forward So, your arms need to do stuff. Set up to the ball. Do not raise your arms at all. Rotate your body as you would in the swing. You will notice your hands stay down near your right hip. So, how does the club get up? Your arms raise it up. You can't take your arms out of the swing. What you are describing might be more of a feel, but it also might not be correct.
    • It depends on what you mean by "while the core remains still" I wouldn't consider his core "remaining still" here, DJ's abs, belly button, and belt buckle have rotated almost 90 degrees by the top of the backswing. Those components of his core then have to rotate/uncoil on the downswing. Far from remaining still IMO.
    • It’s going to change but your basic setup feel should be about the same. Your body kind of adjusts to length and lie angle of the club. You’ll want to pay attention more to ball position as you change clubs more than how bent over you are. I understood what you meant from what your wrote.
