I was playing a round today and wife called to say my new 3 wood arrived.
She was good enough to bring it to the course. (Best Wife Ever!)

I got the new Cleveland 2009 Launcher 3 wood 15 degree. It came with the red shaft since I tend to hit the ball high.

First, I really like the way it sets up to the ball. It is square and just looks great to my eye. The small alignment mark is no distraction to me at all. I usually like a clean top to look at when I address the ball.

Second, the feel is great. The club doesn't feel too light or too heavy. For my swing it feels clean and smooth. No trouble feeling the club head through impact.

Third, the sound is clean, crisp, with a slight ping to it. No surprises there.

Fourth, I hit a ProV1X and the ball jumps off the face. It doesn't feel harsh, it just goes.

Fifth, The best part is the distance and the trajectory. The ball flight is a boring flight and there seems to be some extra roll after landing. This may be the only down side since it might be difficult to hold a green with it. I did not get to check that out since I started using it in the middle of the round.

Overall, I think I have found a dependable club that will help me reach some par 5's and keep the ball in play on short par 4's. All in all I am very pleased with the Launcher.

I am not used to any alignment mark, but I do not find the one on the Launcher to be distracting. I guess "small" is relative.

If it gets to be distracting, I have been known to sand them off. :)

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
