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?

      First, you have some great choices in there.  Event Horizon remains a birdie movie for me.  It still finds its way onto the October options as Halloween approaches.  It fits well. I continue to forget that Arrival, when being referenced, is not the Charlie Sheen movie I saw in middle school. Lastly, what rating are you giving HG2?  Was it a par?  Bogey?  I gather from your review it didn't earn a hole in one on a par-4.  (I have yet to decide how I'm prioritizing that on my movie queue, and if I should even bother, so I'm looking forward to reviews here)

      I loved Arrival. Annihilation is a good one. Event Horizon is also one of my classic sci-fi favorites. And now for something completely different: Happy Gilmore 2. I watched HG1 as an adult, and it was alright, but probably would have been better if I watched it as a kid. HG2 had some good parts, but overall I wasn't a big fan. I knew there would be pros in the movie, but I imagined some cameos, not them being straight up actors through large parts of the movie. They're not actors and it showed. I could've done with a lot less of them and John Daly was maybe the best of the pros. The Maxi part was boring.

      Did I miss what your handicap was or how long you’ve been playing?  That Garmin chart is pretty useless.  Is the max number one of the numbers used to compute the average?  Without the chart don’t know how far you hit your clubs?  What do you hit from 150, ,160 etc…. Not looking at max and figuring the other numbers will probably have 10 yards of roll built in. It seems your launch and peak height are low.  I’d probably go Driver/5 wood/7 wood/ 5 iron
