Summary: What a club !!! I played a 2009 model last weekend, it comes with a Fuji R-flex Gold (55-g) and I hit it so straight. This is the first time in a long time that I enjoy a 3-W again, I thought that my Tour Edge 3-W (Aldila NV R-flex) is good but this 2009 Launcher model fits me like a glove... I just have to eBay one when the price is right. Give it a try when you have a chance

Model Reviewed: Cleveland Hibore XL
Summary: I've struggled with drivers since I started playing 5 years ago. I played several brands and would always borrow my friends Taylormade R7 for consistency and distance and thought about buying one. But after reading alot of reviews and talking to others I bought a Cleveland Hibore XL with the stock Fuji S-Flex Red and all I can say is I finally have a driver I can handle. I took it out this weekend and bombed away mostly straight drives, and any off shots barely strayed off course. I also bought a Cleveland halo 2i and am now sold on the Cleveland brand.

Model Reviewed: Launcher 13* and 19* (3 and 5 wood) both w/ Fuji Gold 65g Stiff Graphite Shafts
Summary: First of all let me start this review by saying I haven't hit a ton of fairway woods. Probably only 10-13 in my entire golfing life. I've owned the 13* 3 wood with the Fuji Gold 65g Stiff Shaft for probably 2 1/2 to 3 years and its probably one of the most consistent clubs in my bag. I recently added the 19* 5 Wood with matching shaft and it preforms just as well.
I usually hit my 3 wood off the tee box on par 4's and short par 5's because I hit it about 265-275 with regularity and hit a high percentage of fairways. I can work the ball easily with this club. Its just a smooth swinging club that rewards a good golf swing.
Out of the fairway, I would say I hit the 3 wood about 240-255 and the 5 wood about 220-235. Both are very dependable.
Just the other day I was playing a Dog Leg par 5. I hit my 5 wood about 230 out to the landing spot and had about 255 to the green. Ball was slightly below my feet so I just aimed for left side of the green and hit a slight fade into the front of the green, my ball bounced one time started to roll and ended up 3 feet below the hole for an easy eagle on the #3 handicap hole on the course. The best thing about it is that there was no hesitation to hit the 3 wood from that distance and there was a lake behind the hole and a swamp in front of the green. You literally had about 5 yards around the green that was safe to land the ball or you were in trouble. That's how confident I am these clubs. They just do what you tell them to do and do it well. If they only made wives in this model :-)
Give these bad boys a try. You can get a good one on eBay for $50 or so. I can't imagine being more consistent with any other fairway wood.
Customer Service: Never had to use them.
