Cleveland Launcher DST Driver

You mustn’t have seen such a light driver in golf. Now the new Cleveland Launcher DST driver is out. Though with a fairly conventional appearance, it's hiding a big technology secret.

The club weight is just 292 grams - that's 25 grams lighter than standard drivers, which usually weigh in around the 317 grams mark. The lighter the club weight, the faster the club head speed and that equals greater overall distance (a three to 10 yard gain).

Only a half millimeter in thickness, the new Launcher crown is the thinnest possible, which also helps move every bit of potential weight low and deep in the club head to optimize launch conditions and maximize distance.

The variable face thickness of the driver Launcher DST allows a higher C.O.R. on off-centre hits for a higher trampoline effect and more ball speed and distance on miss hits shots. Moreover, nine grams of weight is removed from the face and repositioned low & deep in the club head to create a lower, deeper centre of gravity (CG) for a better launch angle, higher MOI and straighter, longer drives.

Shaft:
In addition to the head design, the DST is fitted with a longer, lighter Mitsubishi Diamana shaft. This too contributes to the higher swing speeds and additional distance golfers can expect.

All of this technology is packed inside a club that boasts those sought-after traditional great looks - a classic pear shaped head, a jet-black crown with no alignment aid, a square to open face angle that sits perfectly behind the ball and a classic sole design.

Launcher DST Hybrid just await.
