I don't like to buy the newest product from the biggies paying $399 for a driver or $899 for a set of irons. So along those lines I was passing through Dick's the other day, and I noticed they had the new Cleveland Classic driver at list MSR - $379 for the 310g tour model. And, right next to them, last year's Launcher on sale for $150. I picked up the 310g version and noticed the balance, and the head shape and size was very similar to the new Classic - sold! (btw, I noticed that the 270 and 290 versions have a different shallower head profile than the 310).

I have now played 2 rounds with it, and it is a hammer. I really like the increased weight over my 2009 Launcher (which I think is 290g). It gives it a really solid feel on contact. In retrospect I think drivers have been getting too light lately in the quest for swing speed - it makes them feel too 'tinny'. Anyway, as part review and part 'heads up' to TSTers looking for a bargain, the Launcher TL 310 is giving me an extra 10 - 15 yds over my old Launcher, is responsive and allows good workability in both directions, and feels solid as a rock. It makes me really look forward to pulling it out and smashing one.

Ciao!

    • That is a bit hyperbolic, I think. Most despicable is a bit much.  Again, a bit over the top here.  Most athletes are probably closer to being normal human beings than degenerates and avaricious scum.  Just sounds like you want to generalize all athletes because it is easy to do so. Hey, generalizing a subset of a population is entirely a human thing to do. 
    • This is so awesome; my two biggest lifetime hero and the biggest superstars of the past 35 years in golf……both turned out to be the two of the most despicable human beings in professional sports… Between this and everyone whoring themselves out for Saudi Arabia… Used to love golf because I thought they were smarter, better people than the other sports. Turns out a huge percentage of them are total degenerates and avaricious scum like every other sport!

    • This isn't going to show you lateral dispersion at all. It's basically just a radar (for speed) launch monitor. It doesn't measure spin or anything like that. Not even launch direction.
