So I am finally ready to abandon my Titleist 983K. I hit it pretty well, but I'm just looking for a bit more distance and accuracy. Here is some info:
I'm about an 18 handicap, give or take.
My swing speed is just about 100.

And some stats from the swing analyzer:

Ball speed around 138mph
Trajectory varies GREATLY on my hits from 13 (good) to 19 (bad)
I got a bit more distance from the 9 loft over the 10.5, but the added ball spin definitely showed a greater lack of control.

I tried a few clubs while doing the swing analyzer (Sumo2, G10, Cleveland Launcher, Nickent 4DX, G5). My best results were with the Cleveland Launcher (with the G10 in a somewhat distant 2nd).

Are there any other clubs you would recommend before I make my purchase? Are the older Launchers similar to the new ones?

Clubs:

Wedges: Mizuno MP Wedges 52 and 58 degree
Irons: Wilson Staff Ci7
Hybrids: Adams Idea Tech OS 3Woods: Taylor Made R7 draw 3-woodDriver: Pinemeadow ZR-1 Regular 10.5Putter: Odyssey White Steel #1

also if you like the launcher, check out the hibore xls and xls monster. The golf galaxy by me had (albeit in RH) several XLS's for $120 with different shafts. The fit-on shafts (found in the launcher) as well as an aldila and graffaloy offering.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

For my money, you can't beat the R9.

edit: Especially given that you can pick up the R9 460 for $200 on. www.gppgolf.com

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
