Cleveland Launcher or Launcher LP irons

[sshashid87]

Hi, I am using a 5 year old set of beginner's clubs and they are just not cutting it anymore. I am looking at the Cleveland Launchers and Launcher LP's irons. At the golf shop where I will be buying them (have to have custom fitted shafts and lie angles (+1", 1 degree flat) so I can't buy from Sports Authority or online most places), the Launchers are $500 (3-PW), and the Launcher LP's are $300 (4-PW). I really liked the wide sole of the Launchers, but the guy at the shop said the LP's club head is going to be the same design. I like how easy it is to hit a high trajectory shot with the Launchers, and they don't have any LP's for me to try out. Does anyone know if the sole of the LP's are similar width compared to the regular Launchers? I do need help hitting a high shot, but I don't want to spend more than $300 on irons unless I really have to. Sorry this is such a long post, and any advice on what I should do will be appreciated. Thanks again.

The LP's look like they are perhaps "Low Profile" and seem to have a shorter clubface. I am in the same situation and am looking at these sets.

what exactly does "low profile" even mean...i looked at the sets ryns2 mentioned above (thanks btw) but i feel more comfortable hitting with a +1" shaft then standard, and the lie of the club needs to be 1 degree flat...thanks for the advice though

Off the Cleveland web site
Launcher LP irons are similar to the original Launcher irons in that they are made from 17-4 stainless steel and sport an extremely high MOI, which minimizes the loss of distance on shots that are struck off-center. They both also feature a low and deep Center of Gravity to help those who struggle with their long irons get the ball in the air with less effort. Both also feature additional offset to help square the face at impact. Offered as a seven-piece set, Launcher LP irons feature a lower profi le for those golfers who desire more control in their game.

LAUNCHER LP
Launcher® LP irons feature a lower profile than the original Launcher irons for those golfers who are looking for incredible stability and more control.
LAUNCHER
An exceptionally forgiving iron, the easy to hit Launcher® irons offer mid to high handicap players more accuracy and less loss of distance on off-center shots.

The regular Launcher irons look more like what I would get, but they aren't on sale like the LP's.
