Tradition and technology combine in the Cleveland Launcher Driver to produce the longest and straightest Launcher that Cleveland Golf has ever produced. The Launcher's penetrating ball flight has a traditional look to fit the player's eye as well as to enhance carry distance. Boasting a low spin head design, a mid-trajectory, and high MOI, the Launcher Driver offers a long straight shot even on mis-hits with a 21 percent larger face than the original Launcher 460 or Launcher Comp. The longer, lighter Fujikura Fit-On Flightspeed shafts also lead to higher swing speeds and additional yardage for the most powerful Launcher Driver to date.
Ideal Tone: In the Launcher Driver, the Cleveland engineers specifically targeted the optimal tone at impact to produce an ideal sound. While the Launcher is solid and forceful, it creates a more traditional, ear-pleasing pitch that is not overpowering.
Fujikura Fit-On Flightspeed Shaft: Fujikura designers utilized a multi-layered combination of high modulus carbon fiber materials to remove weight from the tip of the shaft without reducing stiffness. The result is a lightweight shaft with a high-balance point that increases both swing speed and ball speed for added distance.
Thin Crown Technology: At only a half millimeter in thickness, the new Launcher crown is the thinnest possible, moving every bit of potential weight low and deep to improve the center of gravity, optimize launch conditions, and maximize distance.
Horseshoe Perimeter Sole Weighting: The horseshoe-shaped weight pad on the rear perimeter of the sole significantly improves launch conditions and stability on mis-hits by localizing weight low and deep, improving both MOI and center of gravity location.

Hits well good feel/ However Fujikura shaft broke
Review Date: July 17, 2010
Reviewer: NCJoe,
I loved the driver, however the shaft was poorly made. I used the club once at the range and then went the next day to play. The shaft broke on my backswing two inches from the grip on the eighth hole.
