Cleveland Golf Introduces Launcher Driver And Combo Irons
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA - Cleveland Golf/Srixon is pleased to announce
the introduction of their Launcher Driver Ultralite
Edition and Launcher Irons.
The Launcher Driver Ultralite Edition has been designed to give more distance
for slower swingspeed players, while still possessing the attributes of the
standard Launcher driver. The new Ultralite Edition has a 30 gram lighter overall
clubweight and a 12 degree high-lofted head. With an ultralite 40 gram Graphite
Design shaft that is also an inch longer (46.5") than the standard model and a
lightweight (38 gram) Winn Grip, this club is specifically designed to maximize
distance for players with swingspeeds under 85mph. The Launcher Driver
Ultralite Edition will carry a street price of $299 and
begin shipping March 1, 2009.
The new Launcher Irons combo set consists of Launcher Hybrids in the longer
irons (3, 4 and 5) and new Launcher Irons in the shorter irons (6-PW). These
hybrids are Cleveland Golf's first traditional hybrid design which features a
classic, Tour-driven shape. With an 11% larger face compared to any previous
Cleveland model, the Launcher Hybrid's face is among the biggest in the
market and helps provide a larger hitting area for increased forgiveness. The new
Launcher Irons' oversized-face design provides 52% more Face-to-CG Depth
compared to traditional irons, a factor which not only helps increase launch angles,
but also increases ball speed and improves shot consistency on off-centered hits.
The thicker topline inspires added confidence at address, while the offset helps
create consistently straighter shots. The Launcher Iron combo set boasts
Extended Horseshoe Perimeter Weighting, which extends weight outside the
base chassis to help produce lower and deeper CG and higher MOI for optimal
ball flight and increased forgiveness, all while minimizing loss of distance on
off-center shots. The Launcher Iron combo set (8 pieces) will carry a street
price of $599 (steel) and $699 (graphite) and will begin shipping on April 1, 2009.
As an introductory incentive, Cleveland Golf/Srixon is running a limited
promotion offering consumers a free promo-stand bag with the purchase of
any set of Launcher Irons.
