Cleveland Golf has announced its new Launcher XL Irons, a game improvement iron designed to give players a reliable ball flight and consistent control.
Launcher XL Irons feature hollow body long irons for distance and forgiveness, while cavity back short irons focus on precision when attacking the pin.

“The new Cleveland Launcher XL Irons provide a new XL head design with a large high MOI and confidence inspiring shape that results in more greens in regulation,” said Dustin Brekke, Director of Engineering at Cleveland Golf. “MainFrame technology faces are optimised with AI to guarantee shots all over the face maintain distance and precision, while Action Mass CB, with a counterbalance weight in the grip end, helps players get on the correct swing plane while increasing head speed for distance.
All in all, Cleveland Launcher XL Irons deliver a pin seeking iron for shooting your lowest scores.”
Similar to the entire line of Launcher XL products, Launcher XL Irons deliver a 15 per cent increase in high-toe MOI over the previous generation, providing more forgiveness and more shots that find their desired target.
Furthermore, Launcher XL Irons feature Cleveland Golf’s MainFrame club face, which harnesses the power of Artificial Intelligence to find the optimal shape and weighting for each club face. The variable thickness pattern behind each iron face maximises COR and ball speed for more distance on every strike.
To help balance things, Cleveland developed Action Mass CB to help square up the club face at impact. An 8g weight placed inside the end of the grip delivers better balance for more control without added effort.
Meanwhile, a V-Shaped Sole helps all players maintain speed and power through the turf for a better strike, while loft specific grooves help pull the best performance out of every club.
If precision is the top priority, Cleveland Golf developed a custom configuration that is a half-inch shorter without counterbalancing in the grip for players seeking maximum control.
Key Innovations Inside the Launcher XL Irons:
• XL Head Design: The Launcher XL Irons feature a new XL head design with an MOI of 3,081 g-cm² in the 7-iron, the most ever in a
Cleveland Golf game-improvement iron.
• MainFrame: Designed using artificial intelligence, MainFrame variable face technology increases ball speed while unique
weight pad designs ensure maximum forgiveness across the face.
• Action Mass CB: An 8g weight placed inside the end of the grip delivers better balance for more control without extra effort.
• V-Shaped Sole: An elevated leading edge glides through turf with far less drag that a typical flat sole to maintain speed and power
on heavy strikes.
• Loft Specific Grooves: The 4i-7i lofts have wider, flatter grooves, while the 8i-DW have closely-spaced, deeper, and higher spinning
wedge grooves. Higher lofts also feature laser-milled grooves for enhanced friction.
