Cleveland Launcher XL Halo

We tested: 18°, 21°, 24°, 27°

Our take: The Halo has been a popular hybrid for a while now, and so too has the Gliderail tech underneath to help the ball cut through rough a little easier. The latest iteration is the best yet, with shots flying higher and further than previous models. It’s very forgiving and easy to hit, making it just what most of us need from a hybrid.

The new Launcher XL Halo hybrids are constructed with more premium forgiveness than ever before. Gliderail Technology features three rails running along the sole of the club, keeping the face straightened through impact.

The details: The clubhead is bigger than before for a higher MOI and the three Gliderails on the sole stabilize the club on thick and/or uneven surfaces. Additional tech includes a Rebound Frame for more energy into the ball, a HiBore crown for a lower CG and Action Mass CB (counterbalancing) for more control without added effort.
