RE: the Cleveland Launcher, I recently acquired via trade a 10.5 �Cleveland Launcher 460 w/standard 55 gm, gold Fuji "R" flex shaft, and I hit it a lot longer than the Titleist 983K I was using. The 983 is also a 10.5� w/stock "R" shaft. In fact, the Launcher is the longest driver I've hit in a long time. I now have a deal working on a 10� Ping G2 w/Grafalloy Launcher shaft. One of the nice things about where I play (and do occasional repairs is that guys buy clubs and dump them really cheap, so I get to hit a lot of OEM stuff as well as component builds.
In any event, no matter what a machine tells you about your swingspeed, launch angle, etc., you still have to hit the clubs to find out what works and what doesn't.

Has anyone tried these shafts. I placed a set of stiff in my new Wishon irons. I have a swing speed of 75 with my 5 iron. I can't seem to control these at all. I usually draw the ball nicely, but with these they hook, hook hook. Does the low kick point have anything to do with this.
On another note a friend of mine when to have a launch monitor fitting fora new driver. After half an hour, he was fitted with a Cleveland launcher 10.5 with a Aldila NV in stiff (106 mph ss). This was the launch and spin that the vector said was best not a chart or the employee. We played a round yesterday.He hit this thing sooo hit any short it was unbelievble. A have a driver ss at 100 and was out driving him with my HiCor by 20 yards. You should have heard him.....$579...*&[EMAIL PROTECTED]@
