New Launcher UHX Irons
Cleveland’s hollow cavity back offering
Words: GolfPunk
Cleveland’s brand-new Launcher UHX Irons claim to be the most progressive combo set of hollow and cavity back irons on the market. As the company boldly states, they provide a completely new way to approach one complete set of irons.
“This combination of cavity back and utility irons into one set offers the perfect blend of distance and accuracy,” said Dustin Brekke, Director of Engineering, Research and Development at Cleveland. “A new variable face pattern delivers more distance due to hotter faces with better mass distribution.”
The Launcher UHX Irons incorporate hollow long irons (4-7-irons) for more distance and forgiveness, with lower and deeper weighting compared to traditional cavity back irons. Meanwhile, the 8-iron through pitching wedge features a cavity back construction, which focuses on precision and control rather than maximising distance. The result is a seamless transition throughout to create one unified iron set.
The irons feature a high strength, variable steel face insert, incorporated into each long iron, for higher ball speeds across the entire face and more distance on every shot. The latest iteration of the V-Shaped Sole offers added forgiveness and improved speed retention, while the Tour Zip Grooves and enhanced Laser Milling delivers reliable, consistent spin when attacking the pin.
