Have you ever thought about going to that bigger head driver but just aren’t sure how it will work out? Maybe this will persuade you!

Back in December I bought a Cleveland Launcher 460CC driver. Let me be the first to tell you that this driver in my opinion is nothing short of spectacular. I wasn’t sure of the idea at first, going to that large of a head. Now that I’m played a few rounds with it, my eyes have adjusted and it looks normal to me now. This driver has such a huge face on it, that its next to impossible to miss it. I am more consistent that I have ever been with this driver and the face feels super hot as the ball makes a big “PING” noise coming off.

Before the Launcher I had a Titleist 975J which I’m not exactly sure how big the head was on that one. I’m guessing somewhere around 350CC? I’m consistantly 10 yards or so longer with the Launcher than with the Titleist.

I think everyone owes it to theirself to at least try a 460CC Driver. After trying the Cleveland, I don’t think its by by mistake that Golf Digest ranked it right up there around the top drivers for last year.

I play the Great Big Bertha II, and until two days ago, I have always blocked it. I always assumed it was the driver.

NOPE

My swing has just sucked for a long time. When you come over the top, it just sucks the power right out of shots.

So I got to play 9 holes last night and I got to the 9th hole. I had been working on my swing plane for quite some time now and though I am still coming over the top, I feel I am holding my angles better and getting into the “slot” but easier.

Well, I absolutely NUKED a drive. The hole is 402 yards and I had about 100 in, so a nice 300 yard punch didn’t hurt

I always used the first Great Big Bertha before the 975J which I only had for like 2 months. I could always hit it fairly far with the Great Big Bertha, but with the Launcher it just seems easier. Like I don’t have to try as hard to get that distance. Just take a nice smooth swing and the ball flys. Nice drive BTW! Its always nice to fly one out there that distance.

I have played with you quite a bit and your swing has never sucked. However, I will say this as far as drivers are concerned, I hit my Titleist as far and straight as anyone besides Shawn Marshall.

I have played the Cleveland Launcher 460CC driver for about 5 months or so and I can’t get enough of it. Before then I had a TaylorMade 580XD and I hit it well but nothing like that Cleveland. It makes it way easier to hit a golf ball long and straight. It has helped me win 2 tournaments so far this year and a runner-up. So I am very happy with the performance of the Launcher 460CC.

Two words, guys. Snake Eyes.

I had a Viper Ti4 driver built for me a couple of months ago and it is absolutely superb. I thoroughly recommend a quick trip to your local golfsmith store before you consider spending $300-$500 on a new driver.

Their 600 blades are sweet as well……
