Wilson Launch Pad Iron Review

[@jbshark5941]

Due to some serious injures, my golfing days were about to come to an end. I lost distance and never made solid contact with the ball. My swing was a mess, but I missed playing and was determined to play so I just bought a LP 5 iron head & put a graphite shaft in it, took it to the course. The club pro told me to buy the 6-pw because he never saw me hit the ball that far. It felt great coming off the face and got the ball up in the air quickly. If you are at a senior age or have some injuries that will keep you from swinging your clubs like you used to, I recommend these to anyone. When you first get them they are the ugliest things you ever saw, and you will take some heat from your friends for using them, but they become much better looking when you out drive people with regular clubs or land a shot 3 feet from the cup.

I hit natural draws that can turn into hooks. Will stick to Wilson staff CBs with little offset and small sole to get through the turf easily. Every time I've tried thick soled irons, getting through the turf can be challenging. I take small divots.

[@zazhou]

Why do club manufacturers not make game improvement clubs with less offset? Surely there is a market for these type of clubs?

Great review Jim. Thanks for sharing this!

[@RandyKekipi]

Thanks!!!! Jim…I’m in my seventies now… still hit the ball in the fairway and I thinking about purchasing the Wilson LP.

I have a set of Wilson's Turfrider hybrid irons from the 80s, the precursor to Hybrids and to the lunch pads. Love them

[@benjaminhogan3157]

Still got the FG Tour V2's in my bag + V4 utilities.

[@Alandale45]

Nice looking clubs that may inspire confidence at address. Thank you for the video.

I play the original LP irons. I'm not a beginner by any means but these do make golf alot easier to play. I switched from blades to these. Big difference at first and now I wouldn't go back to a standard club.....

[@mattrevilock5890]

Love to see those clubs in your shop.

[@McGolf]

I have one set right now

[@mattrevilock5890]

Sally loves those.

[@rayfarrell9482]

Great review sir. Considering these, the Launcher Halo or the TE E523. These don’t look as huge as the Halos. What shaft did you test with?

[@joewhitt2073]

I have a new hip replacement. Would these be good choice for me

[@joewhitt2073]

It would help me not jam the club into the ground.

[@calvinmaestro3400]

I have a set of Adams Idea A1 "Hybrid" irons, 4-PW, with graphite shafts. Question: Are they really hybrids?

[@McGolf]

If its an Adam’s club most likely it is

[@gregoryoreilly5028]

I pulled a shaft from a driver and a piece of hardened epoxy stayed inside the head and it rattles. It seems a little too big to shake it out of the hosel. What is the best way get this annoying piece out of the head?

[@McGolf]

you may not be able to get it out. In that case I would recommend rat glue. short for rattle stop. a few squirts in the hosel into the head and it will catch and hold the bugger.

[@gregoryoreilly5028]

@@McGolf thanks for the info ……. I will give it a try

[@JeffreyLeeflang66]

I was wondering, these are demo clubs, so interchangeable clubheads to test with different shafts...right? Is it legal to play with such clubs?

[@McGolf]

I think it would be as long as you didn’t adjust or change them in a round

[@JeffreyLeeflang66]

@@McGolf Well..in my case it's only one fixed position, so that would be no issue. It's a about the Cleveland wedges fitting set. Some people say that these demo clubs can't be used ( illegal ) but those shafts, adapters and clubheads having the same weight/feel/flex as a fixed version. It's a fixed position...and really no different in connectivity compared to drivers, hybrids and woods. Therefor they should be legal...I guess?!

[@leebellamy5442]

A really good analysis of the clubs' performance, but as with so many other reviwers, there is such a golf snobbery applied to hybrid irons, with Jim pretty much dismissing them as suitable only for complete beginners. This is nonsense. They are so easy to hit, and are great for all golfers who struggle with imconsistent ball striking (i.e about 85% of us), and especially for older golfers who are not as flexible or strong as they used to be. These hybrid irons are not for everyone, but most average club golfers would be amazed how much easier they are to hit. Why should only "complete beginners" get to enjoy the benefit of that?

[@ecliqxse9591]

This is a nice club , but if u hit it fat or thin then u need more practice and more practice lol

[@Steve-jq4st]

Turned off before the long intro finished. Life’s too short.

[@Gatorgolfusa]

I bought the LP 6 iron 2 years ago and didn't get along with it maybe I'll give it a go again! 🐊🏌🦅🇺🇲👍
