Each year individuals are shown a lot of new technology that's promising to greatly help each golfer hit the ball longer, straighter and more regular. This season among the leaders in golf clubs technology appears to be SRI Sports that will be the parent company to Cleveland Golf along with a few the others. A couple of weeks ago THP had the opportunity to show some to you of their lineup for 2010 when we evaluated possibly the nicest looking irons out there in the CG7 BP irons and the CG15 wedges. In this review we're likely to take a look at their new driver and put it through some testing with 14 different people. This is a THP Chance Movie with Cleveland Tennis Expert Talking DST TechnologyWeightThe Launcher DST driver is one of many lightest individuals in the marketplace today as it is using Clevelandas Sub 300g Technology. This appears to be a trend going around again to make groups lighter but even as we remember back many years before, this didn't work to well. The general team fat of this driver is 25-30 grams less than standard and Cleveland reaches this level using a light grip and Mitsubishi Diamana length that weighs just 47 grams. The length is merely lacking 45.75 inches and with all this considered Cleveland Golf is claiming improved range because the golfer will naturally move the membership faster. Is lighter better? We shall discover soon. Face Tech-Variable face breadth allows larger C.O.R. on off center impacts- Mis-hits gain from a higher trampoline influence for more ballspeed and distance- 9 grams of weight is removed from the face area and repositioned low and deep in the clubhead- Creates a greater center of gravity for higher MOI and straighter pushes ModelsAs described, the Launcher DST includes the Mitsubishi Diamana canal and plenty of other custom choices are available for players on the market to test. The driver itself has 3 models, the DST, DST Tour, and the DST Draw with the lofts varying on the Tour style somewhat. The lofts available for the pull and regular models are 9, 10.5, and 12 levels and they're available in 8.5, 9.5, and 10.5 on the Tour model. The Tour model does come standard with a shorter shaft by about half an inch in addition to a couple of degrees open. All three versions retail in price around $299.LooksAs THP did last year, we shall applaud them again on the headcovers. They more to the point seem great and fit great and have the simple pull off ataba. Beneath the amaska, you visit a driver that is a throwback of sorts. The Launcher DST is old-fashioned in appears virtually all just how around. Your classic shape is featured by it with a bright dark overhead that has no alignment aid at all and the only is practically only chrome with a couple of marks on it in blue and white. Cleveland has listened to customers we think and have actually gone back again to a look that individuals have been asking for, for quite a while. Both the draw and regular versions are full 460cc owners while the tour version is available in at 430cc.Range TestingThanks to the new 2010 DSO, obtaining testers to try out the Cleveland DST Launcher wasn't very hard to do, as we had 12 eager golfers ready to try out his new driver from Cleveland Golf. We create range balls in front of each golfer and asked them to hit their standard driver along with this 1 alternating every 2 balls to see what they considered for range, feel, etcaEach golfer began pounding golf balls on the range and the initial thing that every individual tester noticed was exactly how light the Cleveland Launcher DST is when alternating individuals. However this is the first alightera driver we have encounter only at THP that seems to have gotten it right in regards to the weighting. Going light simply for the sake of increasing rates does not make sense without balance. Cleveland hit the nail on the top when it comes to harmony with the DST point. The is almost an ideal harmony or synergy between the two and it is the first-time THP has seen that in the lighter driver technology. After about 30-45 minutes of hitting balls our testers were surveyed by us to learn what they preferred and didnat like about the new Cleveland Launcher DST driver. Appears a' Surprisingly it was the only ting that people said that they needed somewhat changed. They almost universally wished to see a little more color on the sole rather than the common and simple style that I just spoke about choice so much. Feel & Sound a None of the testers noticed a abettera experience, but many liked the sound a great deal. The noise is really a high pitched tone, but the extremely audible drivers are liked by nothing out there today. This one almost seems moderate in comparison. Distance a' 7 from the 12 testers found a small upsurge in range. That is more than 50%, however the gain was an average of less than 5 yards. However not just a single player from the 12 saw a decline in length, some thing we seldom see. Reliability a 8 out of the 12 testers were more accurate (according to them) with this driver than with their particular driver.Course TestingI have been eager to carry the DST driver point out on the class for a couple of months now since they arrived for the 2010 DSO, and my chance was finally here. I surely could place the driver in my bag during play for 9 times and numerous variety sessions and have come away rather satisfied. The first thing I do want to discuss balance. As previously mentioned above this is the first driver that has gone light in that and weight has the right balance through the entire team. During testing it actually never came out, but it did actually work in relation to swing rate when place in play. A slight increase was seen by me to my swing pace which translated right into a distance increase around 3.5 yards all through play. However the kicker for me personally, was that I lost no precision at all during my whole test period of this driver. A very important factor that Cleveland Golf got right with the Launcher DST was the experience. Too many of the lighter weight groups of today lack any feel whatsoever, but Cleveland matches the base and head so well that the feel is not lost. Some thing I was was a great surprise and almost expecting. Feedback is extremely extensive and immediate, no matter where you mishit it, you know immediately and it is not wet, yet the forgiveness was keeping the ball extremely right. The flight of the ball was slightly more than expected but that will come in place due to the canal that's large release and low spin. By the full time I was finished with my testing, I was pretty disgusting impressed with what Cleveland was getting out for players this season. I do want to touch on one more matter in this evaluation and that's sound. So several owners today sound positively terrible, actually Cleveland was suffering from this very thing in their 2009 XLS Monster. A driver that worked enormously, but was affected by an extremely loud sound at effect that appeared similar to breaking glass. The Launcher DST includes a good high pitched tone, that is nothing like that and it was a pleasant surprise.OverallCleveland Golf is on a significant position in 2010 making use of their new equipment range and for customers that is wonderful news as it makes more alternatives to get the great gear for your game. This driver definitely meets the old motto of do not judge a by its cover! A delicate and classic looking machine such as the Launcher DST is packed with technology that can help pretty much any player. That one must be on your short set of clubs to use, If you're available in the market for a new driver for 2010.
