MainFrame XL WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
A key attribute of the Halo XL woods line is the Glide Rails on the sole of the clubs to help lower the center of gravity by positioning extra mass on the sole and to help deliver more effective turf interaction to better maintain a square face through the impact zone. In essence, they act as rudders to help the club glide through the grass without digging and are especially effective from the rough.
Cleveland Halo XL woods: 3 things you need to know
On the inside, the Halo XL woods utilize the same AI-designed MainFrame XL technology as the Launcher XL2 drivers to expand the effective size of the sweet spot to boost distance and forgiveness, but with evolving variable face thickness through the entire Halo XL series woods to best match how each club is most often missed based on player testing data.
One design that stands out with the new Halo XL woods is the Hy-Wood which is designed with a head size, shape, and shaft length directly between a traditional fairway wood and a hybrid.
This club helps to better maintain proper gapping in the top end of the bag while also being easier to hit. Now we don’t want to call it the star of the show but one specifically new option the 4+ is intended to fit right in between the 5-wood and 5-hybrid, which from ample player testing has shown to be one of the most difficult gaps in the bag for golfers to find a club.
