APPLY NOW: Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood Member Testing | 5 Testers Needed!

[act0fgod]

1. City, State?  Colorado Springs, CO (but moving to the Washington DC area in July)
2. Handicap? 4.7
3. Current fairway wood?  TaylorMade Raylor 16 and 21 degree woods (yeah with the bubble shaft from the 90's)
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better?  I've never actually played hybrids.  I went to get fit but decided I'd stick with what was working
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood?  Well...my clubs are from the 90's and unfortunately at the end of last year the epoxy on the 21 degree has come loose.  I should also say I've tried a number of more modern woods but have always gone back to my first set of woods.  It seems like the idea behind these clubs is exactly what I'm interested in something between a hybrid and a fairwood wood.

Hit fairway woods better
Since the Cleveland Halo XL Hy-Woods give the best of both worlds, hybrid control with fairway wood distance, this would be an ideal test.  I currently have fairways woods only since I could not hit the hybrids.  

[1tdc]

1.  Mt. Pleasant, MI

2.  14.7

3.  Cobra (3W), Ping (5w)
4.  Wood from the fairway, and hybrid from rough

5.  I’m looking to find more versatility at the top of the bag so I can adjust wedge set up.  Moved to Cleveland irons last year and like them a lot.

1. Hurricane, West Virginia 

2. 17

3. PXG 0311

4. Usually hit woods better than hybrids

5. I bought my wife a set of the hybrid irons and she loves them. I hit a few with them and was very impressed. If the woods are as forgiving and long as the irons I definitely want to give it a try. 

[darkhelmet]

1. City, State?  Memphis, TN
2. Handicap?  12
3. Current fairway wood?  Cleveland Launcher Titanium 3w/5w
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better?  Hit 3W off the tee better, don't hit either one "better" off the ground
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood?  I would really like to see how different something like the 4+ behaves compared to both the 19o 5W and a 17o hybrid that I occasionally swap between.  Especially off the ground -- would love to have something that I can use for longer shots out of the fairway (or more typically the rough).

[Volinky]

1. City, State? Columbus, OH
2. Handicap? 10
3. Current fairway wood? Srixon MK II
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Neither
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood? Appears to be a forgiving and modern head style that may blend well with my swing. Big Srixon fan - have yet to hit any Cleveland clubs.

1. Elmhurst, IL
2. 17.3 index
3. 3 and 5 TaylorMade M6's
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better?  both are better than my irons but, my favorite is my 5 hybrid.
5. Why?  Assuming this is just for the 3+ or 4+ Hy-wood, I don't.  But, should someone want me to test a Halo 7 hybrid, I'm there.

 

PS- not the first time Cleveland has put rails on their hybrids

4. Neither well, but FW better.

Edina MN index 14.7 Current bag has XXIO 5W and XXIO 22 + 26 Hybrid. Still looking for what I used to have with my Ping G30 7 wood, loved it and like the thought of this club. I would love to test a Fairway OR Hybrid as am not beholden to the XXIO at this point.

3.  Don't carry one currently
4.  I hit hybrids better 
5.  I desperately want to be able to hit a fairway wood, but I have yet to figure it out.  I carry a 19* Adams Idea a7 hybrid and hit it great.  Would love to try the Cleveland Halo XL Hy-Wood to see if I can gain some yards over my 19* hybrid and start reaching some par 5s.

1. City, State   Mesa, AZ

3. Current fairway wood Cobra F7
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better - fairly good with both.  Often my hybrids and fairway woods make up for a poor tee shot.
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood?  I'd like to see just what Cleveland has to offer that could replace both

4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Typically hybrids

5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood? I've been trying to figure out that end of the bag and have always liked Cleveland clubs. I generally have struggled with fairway woods and the idea of the hy-wood excites me.

1. Chanhassen, MN
2. 18.2
3. None (playing 13 clubs)
4. Hybrids, I have historically struggled with fairway woods
5. I have experimented with several fairway woods before and never found one I have hit consistently.  There is currently a large gap between my driver (265) and longest hybrid (220) that I would love to fill.  It is the reason I am only playing 13 clubs.  A club like this could fill the void.

4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Fairway

4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better?  Fairway woods
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood?  I played the original HALO Hybrid 15 years ago.  I want to see how Cleveland’s technology has changed and to see if their fairway wood can beat out the Ping G430 Max in terms of forgiveness and ease of elevating the ball.

[smartinoff]

1. City, State? Bethpage, New York
2. Handicap? 12.9
3. Current fairway wood? Ping G430SFT
4. Do you typically hit fairway woods or hybrids better? Generally a better hybrid player, but have had good success with the Ping G430SFT
5. Why do you want to review a Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Wood?  It would be great to see if something like a hy-wood could really bridge the 2 clubs enough to add another wedge at the back of the bag for scoring.
