    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)
