1. City, State? Oak Park, IL
2. Handicap? 16
3. Current fairway wood? G425 Max 3 and 5 woods
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Fairway woods
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Hy-Wood? I tend to do really well with clubs in this sort of 41.5"-42" range. I'm looking for something that'll give me a similar distance but is a little more hybrid-like than my G425 Max 5 wood, because I find hybrids a lot more versatile out of the rough and I don't have one in the bag right now. I had the Apex UW in the bag for a while, but its trajectory was too low and distance-wise it was approaching my 3 wood. I'm thinking the Hy-Wood might be the "not too hot, not too cold, just right" sort of in-between option that checks all the boxes. I'd like to find out!
6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and a future updates? Yes, definitely.

How To Apply

1. City, State? Katy, TX
2. Handicap? 18
3. Current fairway wood? Titleist TSi2 3W
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Hybrid is easier
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Hy-Wood? Interested in seeing if the Halo Hybrid will give me greater distance than the Hybrid, as well as how forgiving and easy it is to hit.

How To Apply

1. City, State?  Nashville, TN
2. Handicap? ~12
3. Current fairway wood? Titleist TS2 3 Wood, TS2 19 Degree Hybrid, Callaway Apex UW 19 Degree
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Hybrids
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Hy-Wood? I have had mixed results with 3 woods for many years. I have always gamed a 19ish degree hybrid with much greater success. Over the last few years, I am more likely to not even have a 3 wood in the bag. I recently purchased a Callaway Apex UW 19 degree in an attempt to bridge the gap a little better between my hybrid and driver. I have had mixed results with it and it currently has not earned a spot in the bag. I have also been looking into the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Hy-Wood and I would love to see how it compares to my 3 wood, 19 degree hybrid, and 19 degree Apex UW.

6. Are you willing to do an in-depth written review, with high quality photos, and a future updates? Yes. I have a Skytrak launch monitor and I would love to compare numbers between the options I am considering for that spot in my bag.

Not applying, but excited to see more people in this club. It is so good. I'm a slower swinger, and have trouble elevating even 5 woods. 3 hybrids are also usually too low. With the Hy-wood it almost goes too high sometimes (on fluffy lies, on slight inclines, etc.). I never have this problem. Easy, easy, to hit. I hit it higher than my heavenwood and a lot further. For me, it goes farther than my 4 and 5 wood even on my good fairway shots.

Applying for my dad.

 

1. City, State? West Deptford, NJ
2. Handicap? 30
3. Current fairway wood? TaylorMade M2
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Hybrids
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland Launcher XL Halo Hy-Wood? My dad has a big problem with fat shots, since he doesn't really transfer his weight through the swing. I think that Cleveland's wide-sole offerings such as the XL Halo Hy-Wood would really help him with this kind of forgiveness.

    •    Bel Air, Maryland
    •     7.4 hcp 
    •    Was a 4 wood Callaway mavrik 
    •    Varies, really depends on the day. I will typically hit a hybrid more consistent but definitely a shorter distance 
    •    This club has been on my radar since hearing about it. I am not a strong wood player but I think the hybrids give up too much yardage wise
    •    Yes, very much will do so. I am a lower handicap with average distance and swing speed. And for someone who struggles at that end of the bag and really struggles with the woods, this is exactly the type of club I’ve been looking for. I just hope it is not the “too good to be true”. Also I play at least 1 sometimes 2-3 times a week and I use my buddies golf range several times a week, both mats and grass.
