I found several "Buy Now" deals for as little as $250.00. There were even people selling heads only for less than $200.00.

Most if not all of the auctions with heads only were from China or Hong Kong. The sellers had a mixture of feedback with 1 or 2 out of 10 negative due to fake driver. The sellers usually do not have a great number of feedbacks.

The selling method has changed somewhat lately with the fakes being sold by users registered in the USA but still heads only. The other problem now is there have been hundreds if not thousands of fake drivers sold to USA buyers. These buyers are now selling the fakes once they find out. Here is a list of what to look for and how to avoid being sold a fake.

1. Avoid auctions from China and Hong Kong.
2. Avoid any auction for driver head only.
3. Check sellers other items for sale. If they are selling only drivers avoid this seller.
4. Ask seller to provide the serial number. If they do not respond avoid the seller. If they provide a serial number you can email customer service and ask if the serial number is legit. Also ask if the serial number has been registered already.
5. Don't be fooled by pictures. The pictures on a fraud auction will not be the driver they are sending.
6. Avoid sellers that are new to Ebay or have really less than 100 + feedbacks selling golf equipment.
7. Avoid any auction for a driver listed in a non golf category. They use this tactic to avoid Ebay dumping the auction.
8. Avoid any 1 day auction with a "Buy Now".

A few of ways to detect the fakes are:

1. The composite top is actually not composite at all. It is paint in a weave pattern to look like a carbon fiber top.
2. No serial number on the hosel.
3. Thin spray painted finish instead of powder coated.

I avoided a fake Driver from a USA seller when I asked for the serial number. I had already won the auction. The seller sent me an email after the auction claiming the driver was damaged. I am sure it was someone trying to unload the mistake on me. Hopefully this may help someone from buying a fake driver as well.

I tried 7 or 8 drivers, having my swing tested on a launch monitor. By far and away this club with 11 degree face and R shaft worked the best for me. That is the thing though, any driver has to work for your swing. Fortunately for me this club has been great for my game.

I am a 5 handicap and with that being said, I am always looking for the next great driver. Forget it, this is a few years old now and NOTHING currently out on the market today is either longer or straighter. DO NOT throw your $$ away on a square driver from the Big C, the Launcher Comp 460, with the composite crown, they have put the weight right were it needs to be. I can hit it with a draw and I can hit it with a fade. Get one in your hands and you'll see!!! A fantastic driver, PERIOD!!

Excellent club; previous driver Cleveland 400 Ti. Both drivers have regular stock shafts. Loft of new driver is 11.5; old is 10.5. Gained net 10 to 15 yds. I am a 13 handicap with approximately 85 swing speed and play a tight mountain course with a 140 slope rating on front and 129 on back. Swing analysis at several golf shops indicated I needed higher launch angle. Also larger face has resulted in fewer off center poor drives.

There's only 2 things wrong with this driver. One, Cleveland quit making it. Two, Cleveland remains a 'sleeper' company because they don't pay the big bucks to guys like Tiger, Phil and Ernie to promote their equipment. But, when it comes to playing a first class driver that will perform as well as ANY that are out there (and better than 99% of them), it's simply amazing that it's possible to buy a club that performs this well for so little money. I realize that shaft's make most of the difference in any club. I also realize that virtually ALL of the drivers built in the last 2-3 years manage to 'crowd' the USGA limits for 'hotness'. So, I've gotten accustomed to NOT being 'wowed' when I demo the 'newest' toy on the market. However, after a few balls with a Regular Flex 10 degree Comp, I was amazed at it's feel, balance, weight and performance. Normally, I don't like Regular flex drivers, but for some reason, this one felt really solid and not too 'whippy' - unlike the gold Fujikura shaft that came out on the original Launcher.
Bottom line, for the money, this driver, the 460 Adam's Redline RPM Titanium and the 410 & 460 Nike Ignite drivers represent the best values on the market for players with medium club head speeds - which describes probably 75% of all golfers.

I hadn't touched a golf club in 24 years. Started playing again 1 month ago first 18 holes with starter set oversize driver 3 fairways of 18 and sliced up the course. Went to pracitce at the range and sliced badly at least 8 times out of every 10 hits. Bought this club on Ebay and hit 14 of 18 fairways today, and the 4 that were off the fairway weren't that far off. All my shots went straighter and farther than I expected to hit, about 220 to 240 yards with a very nice launch angle. This club is very forgiving and worth every dollar I spent on it.

I first demo'd this club at World Woods on their annual demo day. I've never really paid too much attention to Cleveland drivers but decided to hit it because it was there. I hit it a few times and liked it. I left to hit other makes and then came back to hit it again. It was the same sweet feel. I immediately bought one and couldn't have been happier. I love everything about it. The feel, look, ball flight, and sound are what I've always been looking for. It's a long driver with great feel and looks. I'm happy!

This driver is HOT!!! Excellent condition... way better than the 8 described! The ball compresses off the face with a nice sound. I like a driver with a :PINCK:! The regular flex shaft was not as "noodle" as I expected... very little adjustment going from a stiff. I love this driver!!!

I bought this driver as a back up to my Titleist 905. It is very easy to hit and has that awsome traditional shape. The shaft is a regular flex and is a little soft at the tip, but functions quite well.

I recommend this driver for the low to mid handicap (12) player. This driver is very light and took some getting used to, but the reults are very positive.

Very forgiving driver. Nice head design and easy to hit. I bought this driver to replace my Cleveland Launcher 400 and my distance with this new driver has increased by 15 yards. I was initially concerned with the 460 head size but got used to it after couple rounds. I would recommend this driver to others. The only minor nuisance is slight difficulty using the head cover. The throat of head cover is small compared to the club head size and you have to pull it out with some effort.

About once a month I go to Golf Smith and try all of the new stuff (including the HiBore). This club (460 Comp)is still the best. I use a V2 67gm shaft and nothing else even comes close to the forgiveness and length.

I love this item. I'm hitting it so straight and long, that I bought another one for my wife. She hits it a long way also. E-Bay is a good way to try golf equipment at a reasonable price. I recomend this club to anyone looking for a driver to keep in play, at a fair price.

i have returned the club to the seller as it was the opinion of a local cleveland sponsered pro that i had purchased a counterfeit driver on ebay. I am still trying to get reimbursed from my credit card co. Beware of deals that look to good to be true on any name brand new golf equipment. Factories in China that produce counterfeits are expert at copying detail without the quality you're paying for.

Everyone in my foursome now has this driver, and we are not equipment junkies. We all now hit it farther and straighter. You just cant go wrong with this driver.

This club is made for people who want a club to do the work. It's easy to hit and you can work the ball either way. Awesome distance whether your golf swing is 90mph or 120 mph. With its 460cc size, its almost impossible to not hit it good because of its forgiveness. You'll have to make sure that it has the right shaft for your swing. All I can say is that I love it.

This is absolutly the best driver I've ever used. I have to swing the club slower than my old one and the results are great. Longer and straighter.

I bought the Cleveland 460 launcher 9 1/2 degree driver because the price was right. I have used it for 2 weeks and my game has inproved. Would highly recomend for the money.

I love the way the ball comes off this club high and hot. I flies very strait and is a no brain club. Just tee it up and swing and the club does everything.

This is the exact driver I have looking for. Perfect shaft! This club is very straight off the tee and long, with a great feel.

This driver is fairly easy to hit. Once I learned how to hit it, I could hit it very long, easily 20 yards further than my Adams driver.

I love my Cleveland Launcher 460 Driver.It has added a good 15 to 25 yards to my drives.Even the mishits are better.Its the most forgiving driver i have ever hit.Most of my buddies that have tried my driver,have one in their bag now.

the cleveland launcher comp is a great driver-large sweet spot & even off center hits are great- i hit it high with a 9.5 loft and long. im 66 years old, been playing golf 40+ years this is the best driver iv ever hit.

Wasn't really sure of which driver to buy, heard about the cleveland launcher comp through a friend who knows what he's talking about, bought it on faith and have not regretted it since. it's a great driver, not that i can say how it compares to other 460 drivers out there, but i am very happy with it. i'm getting some great drives out of it and playing fairly consistently. i'm looking to buy another one for my brother. hope this helps.
