Why We Like It
- The ultra-large face is designed for players who struggle to find the center.
- The triangular shape provides stability with less volume, allowing designers to create a face that’s roughly 10 percent larger than the current average.
- The triangle shape also stiffens the body to improve the sound compared to the more hollow-like acoustics of traditionally shaped drivers.
- The welding line is farther from the center, improving the way the face flexes on off-center hits.
- Cleveland used AI simulations of an average golfer’s swing to dial in the face’s variable thickness to maximize forgiveness.
- The head’s internal weighting favors the deep center for maximum speed on off-center hits.
- The unique head shape reduces aerodynamic drag compared to last year’s traditional-shaped Launcher XL2.
- A wing-like structure on the heel side of the crown increases the head’s stability as it moves toward impact.
- An extra eight grams in the butt end of the shaft creates a lighter feeling club for increased control.
- MOI Rating: HIGH
- Top 5 in Forgiveness, low-handicaps
- 10.5 degrees (with a 12-way adjustable hosel)

Head shape is strange, the pointed trail edge of the crown was distracting. It's a very lightweight club so thought I could generate a lot of speed but was just average. A very big sweet spot, no loss of yardage on heel and toe shots.

Wayne

A little distracting with the longer head design. Performance was good overall though, so you can get past that. Not as forgiving as other clubs.

Ryan

There's no cookie-cutter shape to this eye-catching club. No other driver looks like this one. I love the shape and the raised fins on the crown. Of particular note is how the drives climb. They get up quickly and land softly. When I reached back for distance, it answered. Forgiveness-wise, there was a tight dispersion on misses.

Don't like the conehead look. I don't mind a little shape, but this would take some getting used to. If you need a club to help the ball up, this will do it. If you have a tendency to miss right, this will correct it. Ball speed a little lower than others.

John

Shaped like a slice of pizza. I found that distracting at first. The ball flight was high and pretty straight, but because of the height, I was roughly 15 yards shorter with this club compared to my normal drives.

Alex

I like the matte finish. The club feels too heavy, but it's decent in length. Didn't have to do much work to launch the ball in the air. Misses ended up where I thought they should, so the feedback felt accurate.

Daniel

Looks chunky with that triangle shape. Felt slower through the ball and made a muted thud at impact. But the ball was flying. A lower trajectory and a little more roll than others. Felt plenty forgiving and with playable distance on mis-hits.

Wei

I like the finish of the crown at address. But I'm not a fan of the shape of the back end. The sound was loud but not offensive, and the ball coming off the face felt terrific. It was easy to achieve the high-launch, low-spin trajectory that everybody seems to crave.

Megan

Candy-corn shape. Hard for me to get this club to come back to square. Felt like I could take aggressive swings, but every time I did, I felt I was losing the clubface. Constantly trying to find that balance and never really did.

It's forgiving because it goes so high in the air. It flies straighter because it flies shorter. Pointy conehead look. And it's loud, which was pretty off-putting for me.

Skylar

Gary

This head targets players with average to above average swing speeds and a consistent impact pattern who are looking for more forgiveness with less spin.
The use of carbon composite in a wider area of the crown closer to the face frees up mass to push the center of gravity lower and more forward than last year's version for less spin, better energy transfer and a higher launch.
AI-driven algorithms running thousands of simulations created a variable-thickness face designed to improve both center- and off-center-hit ball speeds.

This more compact head (445 cubic centimeters) should appeal to better players with higher swing speeds who are looking to reduce spin to optimize distance.
Features the smallest heel-to-toe and front-to-back length of the current Dynapower family.
Aerodynamic enhancements, including a taller, rounder crown, aim to reduce drag.

With the largest footprint in the Dynapower family, this head focuses on making more out of your mis-hits.
The target customer here has an inconsistent impact pattern and requires a little more spin and launch to maximize distance.
The Max features the highest measured moment of inertia (MOI) in the family.
