Cleveland Launcher 460 COMP Drivers user reviews: 4.6 out of 5 - 99 reviews - golfreview.com. I would like to say that the cleveland comp driver is the best driver i have ever hit and i have tried all the new drivers. My comp driver is a 8.5 degree and i have a aldila shaft, i easily average 350. This is a follow-up review.
Anyone tried out both the R7 and the Launcher Comp 460? What are your thoughts. How does the distance and accuaracy compare?
And how do they compare with control(Shot shaping)? Distance wise, if you've got a good swing and the right shaft you'll be hitting the same distance with any modern driver head IMHO, it's all about how you want to get there. Pretty much every comp driver I've tried (Wilson, Cleveland, Cobra) has such a low and deep center of gravity that the launch ends up being ridiculously high. If you can't get the ball up in the air, they're a good choice, but I'll be sticking with conventional all titanium drivers for now. One thing I do like about the Cleveland is that it sits nice and square at address, I've never seen one with a hook face.
The R7's a great club head, I'm guessing you loved it since you seemed so set on getting a 905. The deep face is really low spin and once you find the center of the club face it's just going to explode. As far as working the ball, you've got to be an iron byron to effectively work a 460cc.
Not even Tiger's got the repetitive swing to control his draws/fades with that big a club head (as his accuracy numbers have been showing). I may catch a lot of heat for this, but I really feel the days of workign the ball with the driver are pretty much dead as long as you've got decent distance. Just bomb it out there, and I bet you'll be doing that with the R7. Just out of curiosity, did you happen to get on teh launch monitor with the R7? I'm curious to see if it lowered your spin numbers any. I may catch a lot of heat for this, but I really feel the days of workign the ball with the driver are pretty much dead as long as you've got decent distance.
Just bomb it out there, and I bet you'll be doing that with the R7. I never disagreed with you, but if I think about it, it seems right. It seems that whatever swing I put on my driver, I get a soft little fade.
If you want to work the ball, perhaps the play is to use your 3-wood and learn to hit it far by hooding it down to 13 degrees or so. I never disagreed with you, but if I think about it, it seems right. It seems that whatever swing I put on my driver, I get a soft little fade.
You definately weren't the one to disagree with me about working the ball iacas, there are a lot of members at my club who think that just because they get a hook out of a driver that's 3° closed, they're 'working the ball.' From everything I've seen and read, it seems that the larger the headsize is, the harder it is to close the face and get a draw out of it. To combat this, manufacturers are starting to increase heel weighting and building drivers with shut faces to help higher handicappers close the face at impact and fight the slice. Of course, then there are guys like Vijay who plays with a driver that's 4° open. I love my R7.
I got it last friday, and couldnt be happier. I have gone from an average of 276 off the tee with my 983E to 296 average with the R7. And am hitting it longer each time out. Today I played nine and went out off #1 cold. I hit it stiff 310 yards.
No warm up other than some light stretching and a few practice swings. I hit 6 of 7 drives 300+, the 7th was a miss hit and still went 260 yards with a draw. Wow this thing is long. This thing is as accurate as it long. I am averaging 10 of 14 FIR with the r7 apposed to 6 of 14 FIR average with my 983E. 50% of my misses is my misalignment. This thing is great.
I have it setup with the slight draw bias. And hit it dead straight or a slight draw. Havent really messed with the weights. I am currently using the stock Taylor made stiff shaft, but have ordered a grafalloy blue stiff. I am going to wait to install the new shaft as the stock shaft is helping me smooth out my tempo. Drivers Acer Aspire M3610 Windows Vista more. It has helped with all my clubs.
I am hitting the ball better than ever. I really am not sure what the deal is with this club and me on the launch monitor.
According to it I shouldnt be hitting the r7 as well as I hit my 983E. But I am, I am killing it.
I think alot of it may have been the fact that I was trying to hit it too hard in the shop on the monitor. Now that my tempo is getting more smooth I am going to go in and retest before and after reshafting. So we will see what the deal is then. Awesome to hear, I figured you'd be picking up a few extra yards with a S flex shaft. A lot of people think that since a stiffer shaft bends less more energy goes into the ball from the swing. It's actually the opposite - more like a spring, and the more bend you can have in the shaft the more energy goes into the ball.
When John Daly competed against the long drive guys he switched out to an R flex. The problem is with very fast swings which can overpower R and S flex shafts, hence long drivers, but that's all changing now with shafts like Fujikura's Zcom which are superlight weight but still very low torque even with 130-140 mph swings. Once again congrats on your new driver.
You're putting up some awesome numbers. If you keep killing it like that, I say put that Grafalloy in the closet until needed. This thread started off by asking about the Cleveland Comp 460, and I tried that out at an indoor simulator at Golf Galaxy the other day. I hit it pretty good, but incredibly high, even with the crappy, stubby tee in the mat.
The salesperson tried to explain that this driver is supposed to hit it higher than any of the others. When I asked him something about optimum launch angles, he didn't really have a response, I guess he was just feeding me the line he got from Cleveland. I agree, it looks good behind the ball.
In terms of being able to work the ball with the large drivers, I agree, it is next to impossible. Also, I was watching a 'Playing Lessons from the Pros', months ago, with Paul Casey. He said that he recently began driving the ball much better because he had given up on working the ball with his driver and just bombing away.
I voted 2 and 0. The man is an exceptional talent but the tour today is a lot of very good young golfers who are not afraid of Tiger. But I believe Tiger is good enough to win a couple of tour event if his body holds out. But I have my doubt about a major. Only 8% of major wins have been by golfers 41 and older, per the Golf Channel.
There is some pretty big names in the 8% but still the odds are against the over 40 set. But I admit applying these data to someone like Tiger, who without question is an exceptional talent, is iffy. But he needs to get the rust off and in a hurry and that means playing tournaments. Over 40 that can wear you down some.
On top of the things others have already said Key #3 is Inline Impact. You don't want to 'hold the lag.' Holding the lag can lead to bad golf.
Besides, if you were going to pick on me in particular about something, you wouldn't pick Keys #3 or #5. You'd pick Key #4. You miss, as others pointed out, the point that golf instructors don't have to be the best golf players. Often the best players make the worst instructors.
Not saying that's the case at all with this topic's subject, just that's a pointless thing to say. I can demonstrate everything. So too can and is @mvmac. You can wear multiple hats. I've invented several things, for example. Mac hasn't 'set a new trend' or 'found a new solution' in over a decade. And, as always, there are more ways to swing than 'The Mac Way™'.
There are plenty of PGA Tour major champions who don't swing 'The Mac Way™.' Some better club speed readings today from the course, although I still think they're a bit high. A few are still off though and it seems pretty random. My guess would be that I just need to be more careful when setting it up as I did rush the last couple. The work on launch angle is definitely improving things. For info, it was a very windy morning (20mph gusting 30mph), so Mevo will be a fair bit off in places. That said, on course, I was really impressed with it; it picks up everything and seems to be very accurate.
Bear in mind, there's basically no run on any of these shots at the moment due to snow/rain over the last week. For comparison with Game Golf (round here: 2nd hole (shot 1) - Mevo 264.5, Game Golf 242. Wind off the left which really affected it.
4th hole (shot 2) - Mevo 262.5, Game Golf 244. Again, wind off the left, but lower so slightly less affected. 5th hole (shot 3) - Mevo 264.9, Game Golf 284. Straight downwind. 6th hole (shot 4) - Mevo 265.9, Game Golf 271. Down and off right. 9th hole (shot 5) - Mevo 258.7, Game Golf 240.
Slightly into and off the right A couple of other shots of interest were hybrid (good strike) and knockdown 8 iron and 6 iron to a flag at 125 into the wind. I was trying to really take spin off them, so clearly can do a better job with that. Again, the Mevo is a great tool for that instant feedback. Yeah, pretty much totally loving this thing • • Blog Entries.
