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?

    • I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙
    • Day 28: 2026.01.30 Managed to make time for a few swings out back today. Need a proper bit of range time this weekend.
    • Day 30, 1/30.  Six minutes this morning hitting a few more range balls, indoors, off a mat, into the net.  Did this before leaving the house.

    • Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
