Cleveland Launcher XL Lite Driver

Introducing the Cleveland Launcher XL Lite Driver:

The lightweight Cleveland Launcher XL Lite Driver is tailor-made for players with slow-to-moderate swing speeds, those seeking to enhance speed, and enthusiasts of lightweight clubs. By foregoing the adjustable hosel and opting for a lighter shaft, the XL Lite shaves off 12 grams compared to the standard Launcher XL, resulting in an ultra-lightweight design that, paired with a longer shaft, amplifies club head speed and distance.

Powered by Rebound Frame technology, the new Cleveland Launcher XL Lite Driver stands as the fastest and longest driver ever produced by Cleveland. While conventional drivers rely on a flexible face to compress and decompress upon impact, Rebound Frame introduces a second layer of flexibility. Together, the face and frame function akin to dual springs, transferring more energy from the club head to the golf ball. This innovative technology redirects energy typically lost, resulting in increased speed, particularly on center-face impacts. Cleveland asserts that even the most flexible driver face cannot match the energy transfer efficiency of Rebound Frame's dual Flex Zones.

In golf terms, MOI (Moment of Inertia) pertains to an object's resistance to rotation, a crucial factor as off-center strikes naturally induce club head rotation, leading to off-target shots. To mitigate misses and enhance forgiveness, Cleveland enlarged the Launcher XL's club head, allowing engineers to redistribute mass away from the center. Consequently, stability is dramatically increased, with the Launcher XL boasting an 11% MOI increase compared to Cleveland's previous generation driver.

The Launcher XL Lite's final technological marvel lies within its shaft. Cleveland incorporates an 8g weight at the shaft's end, creating a "counterbalanced" effect with dynamic benefits. As the club is addressed, the Action Mass CB weight imparts a lighter, more controlled feel. Enhanced control translates to greater stability and a consistent, repeatable swing. During the downswing, Action Mass guides the hands downward, aiding in maintaining close arm proximity and promoting a desirable swing plane, thus reducing the likelihood of an "over the top" casting motion. The result: a squarer club face and straighter shots.
