About the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo 2
The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo 2 features an oversized head with maximum offset, the widest possible sole, and a deep undercut that makes it nearly impossible to mishit. The CG is positioned as low and as deep as technology allows. At impact it delivers light and high-launching with a cushioned impact feel, optimised to build confidence rather than deliver precise feedback.
Loft Analysis
The Cleveland Launcher XL Halo 2's 7-iron is lofted at 27.5° — moderately strong — slightly stronger than traditional lofts. For a golfer with an 85–95 mph swing speed, this projects to a 7-iron carry of approximately 159–169 yards. The 5-iron (21.5°) to 7-iron gap of 6° is well-gapped, which leaves clean yardage separation through the mid-irons.
