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. :)

    • Ah.. my regular weekend league. Lol Scrambles are fine. Usually there's charity involved. So there's that. There are much worse events Im forced to attend twice a year. 
    • Does Justin Thomas have a massively underrated short game? It seems every time I look up he's hitting it close from a tough lie after short siding himself. What masterful touch
    • I freaking hate them. Too expensive, cheaters, food sucks, too dependent on weather, I keep telling myself never do it again but I'm a dummy
    • I enjoyed the A-B-C-D scramble we did at Kittyhawk before it shut down. Yes. The point was to meet the other members and get the season kicked off. Nobody took it too seriously. At least with that group, cheating wasn't a big issue.  As the D part of A-B-C-D, I enjoyed getting to play with one of the Association's top players. One year I played with the city champ. Man could he hit a ball.  It probably isn't something I'd want to do more than once a year, but it has its place.
