Cleveland Launcher 460 Driver Golf Club

I've tried quite a few drivers, and, for me, this is the best of the best. Was fitted on a Launch Monitor, use a ProV1 ball, am 57 yrs. old, 5'9, 185 lbs, 93-95 mph clubhead speed..... the 9.5* loft and R flex shaft gave me the best consistent results and distance.

I can hit fades or draws if wanted but have to work at it as the ball wants to fly high & straight. Decent swings get good results, good swings get excellent results.

Get decent feedback, can usually tell from the feel what kind of contact I made and where on the face. The head sits up well to the ball, alignment isn't a problem. It's not flashy looking like some which is fine with me, however my biggest knock on it is that I think the gold color of the stock shaft is king of ugly (no big deal).

The price is better than some, which makes the 460 Launcher an outstanding value in my opinion.

This Driver is helping this older round-belly keep up with a lot of the young flat-bellies off the tee. I had a 2.4 handicap 6-7 years ago, probably closer to a 10 now because I don't get out as much and have lost some consistency, but the foregiveness of the Launcher helps make up for my practicing less.

Enjoy!

I own multiple drivers always seeking something new. The R7 425 probably comes the closest, but the Launcher 460 still has an edge. The combination of looks, feel and sound off the face is great! I think the Fujikura shaft that comes with the club is also paired well with the head for a stock shaft, but I replaced the shaft with a Fujikura 569 that really spanks the ball another 10 yards. I will never give this club up!

Excellent Driver!! I have hit just about every major name brand driver in 2005 and 2006 models. The club I kept was the 2006 Cleveland Launcher 460.

Wow, thats about all I can say. I found it a little harder to use than the Taylormade R360, but it sure hits a mile. If you take a full swing and connect fairly well with the sweet spot, it really goes an absolute mile, like watching a cannon. Its quite impressive.

Its designed really well, and is definately worth trying, it can hit some massive drives, and I found I could hit dead straight and/or with a slight fade. I found it hard to draw the ball, but I find it difficult to draw no matter what club, so thats no big deal.

The sheer feel of the club is quite confident, making you feel like you're about to slam down an atom bomb on the fairway. Its one of the most enjoyable clubs to use, because if you time it well, you really feel it fly off the face with gusto.

The shaft is very strong and I found Regular flex definately my preference, as the stiff in the Cleveland models I thought was quite stiff.

Hitting a high ball isn't a problem either, or if you prefer hitting low flight trajectories I found also quite easy by altering your ball placement, and the club really works well for either tries. Most drivers don't seem to perform so well on both traits, but I was quite surprised by this one.

I hope this review helps.

This is the most solid driver I've ever hit! I owned a ping G5, and this driver feels so much better off the sweat spot and on mis-hits. I added 15 yds. to my drives and hit the fairway much more consistently. I would recommend this driver to anyone who enjoys golfing!

Previously, I owned a Cleveland Launcher 400. One day, I broke this driver and a fellow in my group had the Launcher 460 with the Aldila 65 shaft. First time ever, I tee'd it up and hit this driver well over 300 yards, which was 25 yards farther than my previous driver. I thought it was a fluke, but I continued to hit every drive that day 300 yards or better. I, therefore, couldn't wait to get on on ebay. There is absolutely no better driver at any price; not the G5, the new Callaways, Nike's, etc. Just hit this club once or twice and you will be posting your comments right her too.

Great Driver - still one of the classics. I bought the original one new 3 yrs. ago for $300, and it still keeps pace with the 2007 models that cost $450. The design is classic, with a great profile that uses full advantage of 460cc, without looking like a kids club. The response with the Aldila NV 65 shaft is immediate, and in a recent club test that I did with the newest Cleveland, Callaway (not the boxy 460) and Ping G5, I still put the Cleveland Launcher 460 ahead of all based on distance, accuracy and $$$.

I liked this club so much that I bought a couple of spares on Ebay to hold me over for the next several years.

Tried one, bought it. Added yardage, straightened out my drives and paid less than if I purchased in the stores. Great deal-great club, very happy

I tried all drivers from R7 TP tp, FT3 , G5 etc this driver is the only one who keep me in the fairway. It is long and very forgiving...

Recently purchased a 10.5 degree Hi Bore W/ regular flex graphite shaft and am having the problem of a "severe hook", I'm wondering if this club was specifically designed with a hook bias. I also own a 460CC Comp and am very satisfied with this club. Seem the Hi Bore is a step backwards in my opinion.

I spent a lot of time hitting the new drivers - Cleveland Hibore, Nike Sasquatch, Callaway Fusion, and the Speed Series Cobra. This club though seemed to perform just as well as the new ones (although I did hit the Sasquatch the best). I previously played a Titleist E, and with this new club I am much more consistent and have gained distance.

When I was 20 I could anything long - now I'm 47 and thought I'd have to settle for short to be straight. Not with the ti460. I can swing easy and still go 270-280 down the middle. Mis-hits stay on or near fairway and still go 250. It's a great club for anybody, but especially for all of us who aren't a 2 handicap anymore. I borrowed it from my son and bought it used from him. I'm getting the fairway woods to go with it on e-bay. Tried them on a simulator and they hit just like the driver. The price tends to be a little on the high end, but the hollow body with low weighting and light head make them different than the other high priced drivers - they hit long and are still forgiving. If you can't keep it on the fairway with the big drivers without backing off to keep it straight, buy this club.

This club is very forgiving, I have been out driving members of my club. You do not have to over swing this club a nice smooth swing and the ball just never comes down.

Very happy with this club. Have found it easy to hit long and straight. I have tried other drivers before buying this club. Found exactly what I wanted, 8.5 degree loft and stiff graphite shaft, for a fraction of the cost I would have payed at a golf shop for the same club. Club was brand new still wrapped in the original Cleveland packaging. One of the best items I have bought from
e-bay.

I'm not a very good golfer, 27 handicap. Last year I didn't carry a driver in my bag because I couldn't keep it on the fairway.

I went to a local golf demo-days and tried several drivers; R7, SasQuatch, etc. This Launcher way low on my level of interest, but I was impressed after I hit it.

I've played a few rounds with it and have been impressed with the sweet spot. I've been keeping it in play (for the most part) even when hitting off center.

i tell a lot of my friends who might not be the best golfers in the world that the game is not all about score but feel, trajectory, sound and enjoyment; all of which are reasons i purchased the launcher. it has a nice feel when you stripe a shot and even when you don't the off-center hits don't feel horrible. i can get a number of different trajectories out of my 9.5 launcher depending what i need but to send one soaring toward the clouds is as good as it gets. the thing i like most about this club however is the sound; it is like a metallic explosion that actually sometimes hurts my ears. i told a fellow recently that even if i don't hit it as long as a tour pro, my launcher makes it sound as if i do. the one drawback of the club i bought is the standard flex shaft which seems a bit whippy to me even though my swing speed is mid nineties. all in all a fun club

I really love this club and was extremely satisfied that I had bought it off of ebay. Was very happy with the service I received .

I own a Cleveland Launcher 460 Driver with 10.5 degree loft which I was finding had too great a loft. I purchased this new driver with 9.5 degree loft which is working out great and is giving me a few more yards on my drives. I decided on this particular driver because it was a Cleveland Launcher 460 with 9.5 degree loft and also because of the shaft that came with it.

Club is all I thought it would be. Seller shipped immediately upon payment - very personable - wanted to make sure I way satisfied. *****

Although there are newer models, the Titanium Launcher 460 is still a great driver. I can't hit the newer models any bette.

Super weight, balance, feel and forgiveness. Very hot face that produces rocket launches. The tandard fujukura shaft is also excellent with the perfect firm flex that produces a good launch angle and fits my 90 mph swingspeed.

It is a sweet club. What can I say---longer and straighter than any I have used before. Okay. They want more....I used the club last week at the Latrobe Country Club (of Arnold Palmer Fame). It was a lovely day and my best score there ever.

This driver as advertised is awesome. I have tried several name clubs and this one is the very best. I now hit straight and longer.
