![]() I had seen V shaped soles in Srixon irons over the years, and, hitting the Cleveland Launcher UHX irons, I can now fully appreciate the design benefits. Reviewing my field notes, “ great turf interaction” was a common trait for all the irons. Kua 60 shaft, all the clubs had nicely balanced weighting throughout the swing. ![]() Strikes had a much softer feel than the wedge and there wasn’t much feedback unless contact was on the extreme perimeter of the face. With the hollow body 5 and 7 irons, the sound was a medium volume ‘thwack’. There was a fair amount of feedback in my hands, and overall the club was pleasing to hit. On partial or full shots with the Launcher UHX wedge the sound was crisp, somewhere between a ‘tock’ and a ‘tick’ –a ‘tack’ to my ears. Working up to the 5 iron, the topline is beefy and the back side is visible. Transitioning to the 7 iron, the top line gets a bit thicker and there’s some offset, but overall the club’s size is right in line with most game improvement irons. While the hollow long irons have solid backs, the short irons have true cavity backs.Īt address, the pitching wedge shown above looks very similar to the Cleveland CBX 2 (see that review HERE) and its clean, classic look. The simple geometric quadrants on the back side encompass a mix of rough casting and polished finishes. In the bag I really like the size, location, and color of both the black iron numbers and red loft numbers. Not to say that all the Launcher UHX irons look identical, but there is a common aesthetic. ![]() One nice thing a complete set offers that a mix of models doesn’t is a unified look. Cleveland Golf takes the concept full circle with a complete combo set, the Launcher UHX, which incorporates a utility-hollow design in the 4 – 7 irons and cavity back designs in 8 – wedge. It’s becoming more common these days for golfers to have a mixed set of irons, subbing in more forgiving models in the lower lofted range. Half cavity back and half utility-hollow, the Cleveland Launcher UHX is a combo set that offers precision with the short irons and forgiveness with the long irons. ![]()
