If I could like this video 100 times I would! I play the regular HB launchers from 2018 on Marks recommendation. It’s so funny to me that we as golfers have adopted “help” in our putters i.e. mallet heads, high MOI as well as in our Drivers i.e. moveable weights and bigger heads. However most golfer refuse to do this in their irons. I got sick and tired of duffing my 5 iron and switched. I’m never going back.

[@fergusreeverealestate.7409]

selkowbc could not agree with you more! Excellent points you make.

[@JLNHB]

selkowbc good points here, but I think contact (less duffs etc) is only one bit while ball flight is the other. When you swing at Marcs Speed (and some) but deliver way more dynamic loft, that ball is never coming back down, esspecially with wind. Blades help with your ball flight here but makes you get some awful contacts. Speed changes things and loosing balls despite of a good hit because wind got the best of it is not fun either. I gamed hybrids up to 6 and blades down to 2, cant say what I like more. Going into p790 for next year, because I will probably not change my swing succesfully ;-)

[@Spudroe]

@@JLNHB You can still flight the ball with these type clubs. I switched to Big Bertha irons a month or so ago and I've had no issues with flighting the ball.

[@selkowbc]

Julian Meier I totally agree with you on your points. I have a slow and steady swing speed to try and keep the ball in play. I agree with these types of clubs getting the ball down can be tricky. I guess it’s just what each person is comfortable gaming. Cheers!

[@FenwayJoe7129]

Makes sense to me. I play with a set of Taylormade hybrids myself. I obtained the # 8 & # 9 in these HB launchers so I would have a 34.5 degree and a 39 degree club for the shorter distances and some chipping. Nice combination.

[@lydiahanke]

I use the hb Launcher on Mark's recommendation. They are great for my 20hcp. The bad shots are less dramatic and the good ones are higher and longer. Very happy with mine!

[@davidmbarr9255]

I also took the plunge on these based on Mark's previous review. Very easy to hit and surprisingly versatile. So grateful for your encouragement to give these a try.

[@norgerepairs8687]

I have tried to be a "purist" since taking up golf. Always playing blade irons: and constantly struggling with consistency. Still have a set of blades that I use maybe 3-4 times per year. Currently in my 60's; have lost that conceit for the thin top line. Now have a 5-SW set of HB turbo irons - - - - and love them. Golf is about having fun. This equipment is a benefit to my game. I have the graphite R-shafts. Easy swinging, generally a softer feel with a click at contact. Cleveland make nice gear. Many thanks.

[@Joe_J-MT_Boy]

OK, gentlemen... you've put together one of the best club analysis videos I've ever seen. Your choice of camera angles, detailed discussions on clubhead construction and what that means in results, analysis of the golfer's impression of the club at address based on the visual of the topline he's getting, and finally the statistical comparison to what they're currently hitting are nothing short of excellent. It's June 2020 and in July I'll be 68. I've been thinking of getting new clubs, but custom fit this time around. I'll be going to a Cleveland Golf Authorized Dealer for that, and I'll be indicating that I'd like them to look at this model as a good fit for me and my game. I had sort of selected the Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo irons based on my research, but this video cemented my pick. Top notch work here, mates! Many thanks.

[@chrissachs8336]

I love this style of club, I recently purchased a set of Tour Edge HL4 ironwoods that are similar. Being 53 years old and relatively new to golf I find them much easier to hit and help with club position at address. I’ve tried taking up the game in the past and have always been frustrated with the game until I found a set of clubs like these. My scores went from shooting 110 down to the mid to high 80’s by me changing to this style of golf club. Great videos, keep them coming...

[@kymstock1852]

Chris I bought a HL4 PW iron-wood to add to a 1/2 set of their older Bazooka iron-woods. I think the HL-4 is very similar in feel and looks to these Cleveland HBLT's. Performance was similar. The Bazookas are more hybrid like, less iron shape influence.

[@markleadsom5915]

I bought the previous generation ( HB launcher irons) after a raving review from a buddy of mine. I’m a 4 hdcp and can’t speak highly enough of them. My ability to practice the long game has diminished over the years due to other commitments ( father of 3) yet I was finding that golf was becoming a struggle and every round was becoming a handicap break even struggle. I needed something that would give me confidence to hit more green and take pressure off. I opted for these and have not looked back. My big takeaway from these irons are the following:- 1) these clubs come very upright and are not adjustable friendly, I’ve found hardly any club fitter will touch them. 2) I’ve found that bad shots are well rewarded with not much distance fall off ( especially high flails). 3) the long irons oddly are difficult to control compared to the 6,7,8,9. 4) Distance control is very good and consistent and spin numbers are good. 5) I have difficulty hitting low under trouble ( escaped shots) as they have high launch. 6) in a weird way they encourage average strikes, yes you still need ball first but if you are used to compressing the ball then it could be difficult. 7) Totally agree about peer pressure about appearance, this is a tough one to break down, however beating opponents helps Taking all the above into account, I wouldn’t swap them for anything

[@balitim3166]

I love this irons the best iron i ever hit in my life, very forgiving and i love it, cheers ... Tim from Wollongong Australia

[@FunkmeisterOfSedgley]

If I shot lower scores, I wouldn't care what my clubs looked like. I personally reckon that Cleveland are the most underrated manufacturer. They make excellent clubs.

[@James_Vaughn]

I couldn't agree more! If they made these in single-length, they would arguably be the easiest to hit irons ever. I had the altitude irons and I let a number of guys try them. Almost every one of them hit a better shot than what I saw them hitting with theirs. I found it interesting, and even comical at times watching people hit great shots, and then begin to 'explain' how they won't work for them. Lol

[@chrisfries2484]

I saw a review of the Wilson Launch Pad (a very similar style/club to these Clevelands), and went in to test the Wilsons. I'm 52, am around a 20hcp, but having trouble with my GIR. Need more consistent iron play. Been hitting fat and off center too many times. I asked the salesman to suggest a similar type club for comparison. He had me try the Cleveland Launcher. I'm glad he suggested it. I went back and forth several times. Super close, but the weight, balance and overall feel of the Clevelands edged out the Wilsons, in my opinion. It felt easier to hit clean shots. That leads to confidence, and we all know the sky's the limit when you believe in yourself. Amazing! Got fitted and can't wait for them to arrive. And no, I couldn't care less how they look if they can get me into the 80s regularly.

[@drroger98]

The comment that “tradition is a weapon” is so spot on. I’m working my way down from 20 to 16 handicap now. And would love to hit more greens in reg ( my main downfall). You didn’t mention it, but the variance of offline was much better with the HB compared to your T300

[@jimj.5099]

I'm ordering these today coming from playing blades for more than 45 years. I'm a good hybrid player and the sole is what is pulling me to these irons exactly as mark says at the end.

[@duanedibly7170]

I bought a 4 to P set, 7 clubs, 2 months ago. They were a demo set & not 1 had hit a ball. The 1st ball I hit, I was sold. RRP was $1150, I paid $550 (Australian dollars) These clubs are awesome, & due to the clubhead weight, you can hit the ball so effortlessly. Slow back swing followed by a neat & tidy forward swing & that little ball is outta sight. I would recommend them to anyone.

[@mkennedyify]

I’ve just had a custom fit and these irons were one of four I tried. I was buy far more consistent with these than the other three. I’m about a 24 handicapper and I decided to buy the irons. I was not put off by the look as he I think they will definitely help my game. I’m delighted with your review of the clubs as it’s made me feel that I have made the right decision.

[@coolacutta]

I put these in my bag and never looked back.So much fun and enjoyment knowing you're going to hit it well. Lowered my handicap ,won a tonne of stuff since . I advise everyone who enquire about them to stay well clear . I wonder when the penny will drop with them.

[@coegj]

Maybe 12 years ago a high handicap friend of mine purchased a set of hybrid irons from Cleveland and changed his game altogether, he could then hit the ball better more often and much higher more often, he was a much happier player, I did not mind the look of them then and still can see them in my bag. I'm now in my very late 60's and have played my Cobra Fly Z irons since they came out, and still like them, but I know from this last year that my distance and high ball have taken a hit, in the bad way. These irons just might be what I need, I will send a note on to Santa, to see if they might be in my future for next year. Good video guys, thanks.

[@pendergasti2744]

I really enjoyed the HB Launchers from 2018. I gamed them for a a year, while the looks weren't the sexiest on the course they were super consistent and allowed me to focus on playing good smart shots and improve my golf IQ. All the comments about the clubs looks were easily quieted by the numbers at the end of the round. I think that Cleveland has got the game improvement club figured out.

[@seanmullins5982]

I gamed the same set but it was from the early 2000’s. It was called Cleveland XLi Hy-Bore irons. The set came with P-3 iron and it also had the lofts engraved into the club next to iron number. So for example. The PW was 46* the 7 iron was 34* and the 3iron 22*. I’ve never had an easier better set of irons when it comes to playing golf the way it should be played. I.e. no ego, least strokes wins type stuff. In fact for a while I never even considered about ever changing until I found your channel Mark back when you were geared up in full Bunker Mentality swag giving quick club reviews back at Clifton Hills. I always had the mindset that I could careless what they look like so long as they work, well the more reviews I watched, the more I fell in love with the whole eye candy of a sexy looking iron, and around the time you ditched your hideous JPX EZ’s for at first your MPH5s and then ultimately your MP5s is when I had finally convinced myself that the Hy Bore irons were just making the game too easy 🤥 And I went out and bought a beautiful set of Fourteen PC-555 irons. (many are not familiar with this brand but it is a great Japanese golf company which forges a lot of their irons through Endo (same forging plant that the one and only great Mr. Miura uses and will most likely go down in history as the very greatest, or at least one of the very best Master Club making Craftsmen the sport has ever seen. Anyways long story short, i feel like the much much smaller fourteen irons are actually helping to improve my ball striking in the long run, but when I say those HY Bore Cleveland’s were point and shoot, You will never truly understand just how easy they made the game for me until u try a set for yourself. Considering they’ve been making the same product line now for almost 15 years should speak volumes alone. But seriously. when Mark says he would game them, he 110% would. They are pin seekers.

I would try them. Eight handicap senior. Have started to lose distance. In younger years carried a one iron thru pw. Now my longest iron is a five. I’m old enough to not care what others may think about them. Also old enough to remember that this style was made many years ago for seniors. Thx for the review. Always enjoy your videos. Jim from Massachusetts.

[@peterinsani4203]

Handicap of 20, senior golfer. I have been a believer in Ping for many years. My favorite Ping clubs are the hybrid 3,4,and 5. I play them more than anyone in my group. My issue has been with my 7 iron, 8 iron, etc. I am seriously going to look now at these Clevelands especially 7, 8, 9. If they work just look my current hybrids, then they are a winning combo. Thanks for the class.

[@simonbelcher3445]

Definitively game it !! Had a fitting and cannot fault these. Have struggled with traditional irons but as you pointed out the sole and over sized club head just gives me that added confidence that i am going to hit the ball and target a lot more often , removes the jitters that i always get when i used to reach for an iron that i just couldn't hit. Great video !!

[@zefolantar]

Great review! Cleveland is back and this is one of the best “Game Improvement” set of irons on the market. With the right shaft, these could be deadly for a single-digit handicap! I’ll be checking them out for sure. 👍

[@FenwayJoe7129]

I agree with you George. I think these just might have some pretty serious results. I play with woods and hybrids anyway. But I filled a gap with the # 8 & 9 in with these turbo hb's. Spider Dubiel

I bought a second hand set of the ORIGINAl Hi Bore irons to try. I like them so much (and hit them better than my expensive MiZuno JPS 921-Doh) that I have ordered a set of the latest Turbo Launcher irons.

[@jamesharrison5004]

Totally agree that if you started club design again today these are what we'd all be playing. I'd happily play them. Used to have a HiBore driver. The Cleveland shape is spot on.

[@Spudroe]

I just recently started gaming Callaway Big Bertha irons which have a similar design, almost hybrid like. They are a far cry from the blades that I've been playing for the last 10 years. I have to admit that they are much easier to hit and super forgiving. It's taken a while to get used to the look and sound but they are helping my game. I'm hitting the ball more accurately, hitting more greens which has increased my chances at birdies and I've been making more birdies. Have had to re-calibrate my chipping because the ball definitely comes off the club quicker. I'm super happy with my choice...but it's hard to beat the look of a blade and the feel of a well struck shot. Thanks for the review guys!

[@davidstephens6813]

I have a lot of time for Cleveland, and am still playing my old TA5 gunmetal irons. I’d struggle with these in the short irons as I like the feeling of cutting down into the ball, and in my mind these would push you more to sweep the ball. Mid to longer irons would be no issue though, and I’d be really interested to try them. To be honest I think my ideal set would be a right bunch of Frankenstein clubs, with barely anything coming from the same range or type. Love the fact that Mark uses two six irons as it properly fits with my experience

[@rexwinjane]

I have been playing last year's version for a year and a half and love them. Other tests have shown these clubs to be miles ahead of anything else in terms of forgiveness.

[@cjsheets24]

I took the plunge and just special ordered a set of these irons. I still have a week until they arrive since I needed 2 degrees upright and a 3/4 longer. I'm a 46 old male with chronic back issues, but will not give up the game unless I can't walk. I've always played cavity back irons such as the Calloway x20's then moved into TaylorMade rsi2's. I got so tired of inconsistent ball striking that I gave these irons a try and absolutely fell in love with them. They are incredibly easy to hit with great trajectory and consistent distance/dispersion. I'm not trying to impress anyone with the looks of my clubs. I'm trying to impress my friends with better scores which will make my rounds so much more enjoyable.

[@leetaylor121]

Went to my local club and tried these in the driving range as I love my 3,4 and 5 hybrids (ping g30s) ..I absolutely loved them, they flew off the face, nice and high flight with a nippon shaft and I've ordered the 6 to sw with steel shafts.. Unfortunately covid is going to delay their production but I can't wait to get my hands on them... They really do seem so so easy to hit thru the middle irons which are my nemesis clubs ordinarily.. Great review by the way! 👍🏻

[@JohnnyDSR]

Great honest objective video. There are forums online that wouldn't even have the guts to review these just based on their "high handicapper" looks. I've used this club as a long iron replacement 4, 5i. Its really a hybrid iron crossover that you can work a bit easier than full length hybrid and from Cleveland... not fly by night " as seen on TV" brand. Yes the looks and sound take some getting used to but Cleveland does a good job with blacking out the body so at address you can visualize the face without much distraction. For 2020 I notice that Cobra is now following suite with their own take on this idea. Maybe a trend for higher handicap golfers with slower swing speeds who don't want to lay out big bucks for titanium and stronger lofted clubs at $300 a pop! Would be great to see more objective reviews like this one from Mark for the good of the game! I tend to hit my irons heavy and often play on very wet fairways, the sole helps quite a bit from digging on fat shots. You don't need a full set. Very low price, give them a shot especially if you struggle with longer irons and don't want to use longer shaft length hybrids and spend big $$ on a fix. They are an excellent solution if you can get past the looks and sound and your swing speed is not what it used to be...

[@viperr007]

They kind of reminds me of the Adams hybrid irons

Good to see your review which considers them from the perspective of those that they are aimed at (higher handicappers with slower swing speeds). Any chance you can review a selection of hybrids which are most suitable for higher handicappers with slow speeds? Don't feel that most of the reviews in the magazines are objective enough and certainly not really from the view point of higher handicappers. Keep up the good work!

I cannot wait until I can get my first round in the books with these now.

[@VacantCard]

I'd like to see a video where you talk more about what you mentioned very briefly in the last minute there - your visualization of what's happening when the club hits the ground. When I'm hitting a lot of thin shots, I'll adjust my mental task to: slam the sole of the club into the ground just in front of the ball. Of course after that's been working for a few holes I end up overcompensating and it's back to the drawing board BUT I think that might be something you don't realize the average person would benefit from knowing more about because it's engrained in how you think about the swing as a golf pro.

I've just bought these, 5-Gap wedge, along with 2 CBX2 wedges. The improvement in yardage is largely irrelevant. Because my turf interaction is poor, I'm seeing a massive improvement in the consistency of my ball striking. I suppose the only point to note is that I no longer chip with my 7 iron as I did with my Pings because of the differences in the loft. Use 8 to gap instead. Again, my chipping has improved because of the wide sole on the club. They feel like a chipper! I went to a Srixon/ Cleveland fitting day expecting to buy the UHX hollow irons, which I also think are great, but my consistency with the HB's is vastly increased.

[@davidleach7084]

Definitely would consider these in a few years as I'm 61 now and apparently every year older after 60 we lose 1 mph in our swing speed so can see a big benefit as I age.

[@KingWilliamProtector]

I think you're the best golf reviewer on KZbin. Just slightly edging Rick S (hes bloody good too though). Btw as an average golfer I "would" game these.

[@evananderson2166]

Launcher HB irons are ridiculous, in a good way. Forgiving and retain some spin. I completely agree about iron design if we somehow erased the tradition aspect of the equipment. Thanks for the review.

[@MrKitkennedy]

i use them cos after my stroke i really needed help getting the ball into the air.......grat love them

[@davidcooper314]

Hi Mark I game the Cleveland CBX irons 5 to pw the cbx wedges and use a launcher HB 4 iron and find it to be a very versatile club, longer par 3's great, longer approach shots and fantastic for chipping from off the green where the grass is a bit thick or bare lies been practicing chipping from 30 yards to just off the green gives me lots of confidence, happy golfing aussie dave

[@mikereed3287]

You should also try Tour Edge who make a very similar club but at a lower price. I would consider these for the chipping help. Thanks for the review!

[@stevebartel7040]

Would like to see compared to Cobra t-rail irons. thank you Mark

[@michaelmurphy2788]

I just bought them from Moon Golf. Perfect for older players. Thanks for the video.

[@shaunnolan6042]

I bought these a while back absolutely love them

[@MarkCrossfield]

they are so helpful for so many golfers

[@jaredungerland]

I play 3 hybrids, 24, 27 and 31 degrees. I don’t have any comparison numbers but the confidence I have standing over the ball compared to a traditional iron at these lofts is all I need. I consider myself better than the average golfer and I definitely could see a benefit of certain golfers using these types of clubs.

[@dazpainter3722]

I've just ordered a full set of iron after using the slazenger big ease for 20 years cant wait to get them! 😁

[@bsindy7863]

Mark... I went and shopped and hit the Cleveland’s today... I hit them very well.. but I was also able to hit the cobra and a set of Tour Edge E521’s. The Tour Edge’s hit awesomely well!!! I was completely surprised. They are also $200+ less. I bought them. Gave up on my Pings.

[@tomparker68]

Got these in the shop I work at and they’re brilliant. More people should be using these clubs for sure

[@rikkistyles1183]

I've hit these on a simulator, very easy to hit and good numbers. I would game these as my next set. Right now I game Cleveland 588mt,hollow design with a forged face, great feel to them and the sole is somewhat wide as well. Cleveland has great unconventional products, I have two styles of smart square putters. They helped with my alignment and confidence.Right now I use a Cleveland Huntington Beach collection #2 blade style putter made of 304 stainless with a milled face, very soft, great for fast greens

[@toddbassett2598]

I most certainly would game these. I'm not big on aesthetics as long as a club performs. Great content as always.....cheers to you both!

[@ColinJamesredochre]

I am looking at getting fitted clubs and they are on the top of my list as a 24 HC. Looking to continue to improve, as a 61-year-old only been playing for 3 years starting at 36HC...

[@robsengahay5614]

Colin James I am a 60 year old 22 handicap (started at 36) playing for 5 years and improvement has stalled the past 2 years. Interested to know how you got on with getting fitted and whether you got these as I am considering them.

[@ColinJamesredochre]

@@robsengahay5614 I went to my local Pro and was fitted for length and grip size... The HB Turbo Irons are wonderful I have dropped 2 strokes using them.

[@robsengahay5614]

Colin James Thanks for letting me know. As it happens I am going tomorrow to try these out at a fitting after seeing so much positive feedback on them.

[@fretless05]

As a student and a mid handicapper, I said in the survey that I wouldn't play these clubs, regardless of the numbers. My reason isn't that I am looking for a a brand, but focus on the fact that I am trying to learn to play the game as best I can, not just lower scores based on help I get from technology. Lower scores are awesome, of course, but I want to improve my skill to lower my score. Plus, the more help you get from the clubs, generally the less you'll be able to work the ball, so having these clubs only makes sense if you want to rely on tech to help on bad shots and not work the ball, or, in other words, never worry about advancing your game to lower your scores. Maybe when I'm happy with my game and I do with the ball what I want to do, I'd be more open to help from the clubs.

[@ianmccoll987]

Struggling with inconsistency in irons so keen to try these, no worries about the look if the scores come down

[@jonathanthomason7896]

Not to mention they are considerably cheaper than most iron sets. Great review as always. I'd love to see you play a round of golf with them.

[@jasonissel217]

I am getting ready to sell one of my expensive rifles to commit to golf bag 2021-2022 and these have made the list for the irons that might make the bag.

[@charlesroux8]

Excellent video Mark. I formerly used the Cleveland HB3 version of these hybrids and loved them. I switched to Ping G20s a few years ago. They are good irons, but not as forgiving for a 15hcp. I'm working on getting fitted for a set of new Launcher HB turbo irons.

[@NCtrailX]

Spent some time at a local shop testing several game improvement irons on their sweet launch monitor system. Distances to the other super game improvement clubs were similar, but shot dispersion was tighter with the HB Turbos for me. Placed a special order and just waiting for them to come in (extended and more upright). Thanks for your videos and recommendation.

[@jeffcook8842]

In a heartbeat. I currently play the Wilson Launch Pad irons, which are excellent.. I an thinking of trading up to the Luncher XL irons because of the rails on the bottom. I have them on my Cobra Speed Zme forway and they are awesome.

[@michaelchristopher7470]

Wow! You've turned my brain around as an 18 Handicap player! I'd like to see the disbursement data on this club comparison. Based on a the really small sample size of your video, at your normal swing speed, Mark, you appeared to have a better disbursement with the Cleveland clubs vs. the the T-300. How about comparing the Cleveland club vs. your T-100 at your normal swing speed and show the disbursement data?! Thanks again. This was a great eye opening video!

[@malone77]

Disbursement? As in payment?

[@kcbright6641]

I would play a brick on the end of a broomstick if it would improve my game. Currently a 2.7 index and love hitting hybrids. Going to give these a try, I'll keep you informed!

[@ircunning2697]

Agreed. I went to the sterling single length irons and dropped my handicap down to 5.9. Always funny how people react when they look in my bag, and then they start paying attention to the clubs when I pull them out. "Unknown" brand, single length, jumbo grips. Almost alway get a question about them in the first 9 holes. After sticking a few close to the pin, they want to know more about where they can try them. Hoping Cobra will release a one length version of the T-Rails. I'd game them in part just to watch peoples faces as I beat them with those "ridiculous" non irons.

[@lexfowell8500]

I use these clubs and they have changed my game, they are different but they are awesome. I am 66 and play off 10

[@myers357]

I started playing these a couple of months of go and I love them.

[@mrwoo33]

I'd love to try them. Golf snobbery wouldn't stop me either. Love your point about the chipping too. I tend to chip with a 7 or 8 iron with putting stroke. So probably ideal

[@TheVintageGolfer]

Very, very, old longnose golf clubs more closely resemble these over bladed irons. Golf equipment in its infancy looks very different than it does today. To be fair, I love bladed irons.

[@iketriantafyllakis9673]

Awesome review Mark, I tried the launcher HB previous model at the golf shop and they are fantastic these are even better, Cleveland is so under rated, all of their line are long, forgiving and user friendly I have these on my radar for sure

[@haakonstorhaug1606]

I played an Adams set very similar to the Clevelands for awhile. Couldn’t quite get on with them as the hybrids kept going left and far at that. Still I agree with the views expressed in this video and commend MC & friends for testing clubs like this.
