Maybe i'm out of the loop here, but I was @ Golf Town and picked up a Launcher Comp for my son for $198 . The sales guy told me that their irons (not sure which ones) were also discounted $300, PLUS you get a free Hi-bore driver with them. He also said that the company that owns Cleveland (i've never heard of them, they apparently make lower end stuff) has also released 40+ tour staff (Vijay). He said VJ used the Hi-bore for a month & went back to the launcher. Interesting stuff, if true...

Putterhead,

Vijay is still with Cleveland and will be until he decides not to. However, the have decided to significantly reduce their Tour staff to save money. No contracts were renwed including David Toms who recently signed with TaylorMade from what I have heard and should debut his new sticks at this weeks Target World Challenge. Vijay did vacillate between the Hi-Bore and his Launcher Comp for quite a bit of the year. He had it in the bag for his win at the Barclay's Classic, but hit it twice in four rounds. However, he has been pretty happy with the new Hi-Bore XL he played at the Tour Championship.

Thanks Gas_Can...

I had Vijay in parenthesis because the sales guy wasn't sure if VJ was part of the contract dumping. It looks like a bunch of things all happening at the same time are going against Cleveland. The HiBore reviews are all over the place from great to terrible, their wedges aren't even mentioned in most magazine reviews, so sales i'm assuming must be taking a bit of a kicking. I think the CG10's are great, and i almost bought a launcher when they were $500+. Well, at least I got a great deal on a Comp Launcher for my son's birthday in March.

Personally I have no idea. I just recieved a free hibore when my dad was fitted for some cg4 tours. I didn't think vijay would be able to play the club. I thought the club was 520cc's. (well, I've read that it's a 520chassis with actually displacement in the 300 range, but I don't know how it's measured.) I'm curious as to whether or not it's a legal club.

Good deal. I guess it's measured on the inside. I don't know too much about clubs, I just know what I've been told by the guy who fits me and I know of what I've hit, what I like and don't like. Thanks for the info.

I was speaking w a local shop owner yesterday and he said that Cleveland had a tough year. The reason for the discounts however is that Cleveland is making a Cleveland Canada to do their distributing in Canada. So the old supplier is dumping their stock off cheaper before Cleveland gets the new system put into place. The stuff is intended to be high end and is not low end what so ever. The hibore just didn't fly and then there year went tough.

As for dispatching tour presence, I don't think they would do that because tour presence is their life blood... but ya never know I guess.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
