This club is simply phenomonal, or at least for my game. The smaller head is extremely maneuverable and I can feel it throughout the swing. This might not be the most forgiving fairway wood, but if you put a good swing on it the ball rockets towards the target. If your looking for a reliable 3 wood, then you simply must demo this club.

After writing a very positive review of the Cleveland Launcher 460 Driver, I felt compelled to say a few words about the Launcher 3 wood. As poor a driver I have been for most of my golfing life and as many different drivers' I have owned, I haven't had a lot of 3 woods due to being a very competent fairway wood striker. I still carried a wooden 3 wood well after they were considered "old junk". I still carry a wooden 4 wood rather than these metal hybrids that is all the craze. Anybody out there that still has an old quality wooden persimmon block fairway wood, give it a try and compare it to your "newfangled" hybrid, see what you think as I beleive that in relation to fairway woods, metal hasn't really improved distance and accuracy in this area like it has with drivers. Anyway, I have used a number of metal fairway woods since retiring the old RAM wooden relic that gave me great service and have found the Cleveland Launcher a pretty good replacement, distance is very good when struck well and it is the easiest wood to manouvre I have ever used. Feel is very good off the face, I only wish they made the head a little larger, it tends to look more like a 5 wood than an 3 wood. Just for info., I recently saw a golf show on T.V go through Karrie WEBB'S bag. She carrys this particular 3 wood and raved about it. So. If its good enough for her then its good enough for me.

Very good clubs. These clubs are long and provide a ton of feedback. You will know if your shot was a good one or not. It is very possible to work the ball as well. I don't really focus on that because I am not good enough. But I was able to hook and slice the ball with this club. There are several fairway woods which I have used that this is not possible/extremely difficult. These clubs launch the ball very high and hit the ball a long ways. I hit the three wood nearly as far as my driver. I found the 5 wood a little more difficult to hit. Still, very good clubs with lots of feel and distance. They are relatively light, too. You can get them much cheaper now.

Trade my callaway heavenwood hybrid for this after the hybrid did not do the job, at 13 degrees, it hit the ball higher than the heavenwood 15 degrees, accurate and very forgiving, I have averaged 220 from the fairway and about 230 from the tee, no long but very accurate. I have to say that Cleveland is very underated for their wooods.

I was looking for a club that I could hit low, straight, and fairly long. This is definitely it. I can smoke this baby 250 right down the middle with that beautiful low, boring trajectory. If you have a high swing speed and hit most fairway woods too high, get this 13 degree 3 wood. Do not buy this club if you need to hit your fairway woods higher. Buy an Adams Ovation or some club like that. But if you need to hit it low and accurate (and far) get this club now.

It was on sale and I traded in my old 3-wood so I got it for only 90 bucks.

I had a Callaway Steelhead III, it went a little too high for me.

Nice club. Bought it with the standard graphite shaft. My good old Warrior 5 and 7 woods with steel shafts out performs it, at least for me. Like so many, I thought I would gain more from a club with newer technology, not in this case. I am much more consistent (in a positive way) with the Warriors. A little more scattered with the Launcher. Except for my TM R580 driver, I'm not sold on graphite shafts, ESPECIALLY in the irons!!!!!!! Give me steel!

I originally bought the Laucher 15 and 19 degree 3 and 5 wood. Nice clubs, hit them a long, long way. However, I was not carrying the ball as far. Total distance was great, but much of it was on the ground. But, overall liked the clubs. Great feel. Great look. Could work the ball. So, I bought a 17 and 22 degree 4 and 7 wood. Wow! What a difference. I have not lost any total distance, but am carrying the ball much further. Great clubs, penetrating ball flight. Good distance off the ground or off the tee. Would highly recommend them. Just disappointed that Cleveland has not chosen to build a 17 in the Luancher Ti and Comp.

If you are a fader or slicer, these clubs are perfect for your game. If, however, you draw the ball, be prepared for snap hooks. I haven't checked the specs, but these clubs must be several degrees biased for a draw. As far as looks, feel and durability, these woods are as good as any on the market. The shafts are solid but be prepared for a relatively high trajectory due to the low kick point.

I took my new cleveland 3 wood to the driving range yesterday and was very happy with my purchase. It has a regular steel shaft and a 15 degree loft. I have played for 25 years and when I first started playing golf was eager to hit my then #3 fairway wood Powerbilt woody, remember those, (laughs). Anyway, long story short, I lost my confidence in any fairway woods including the driver along the way and can't explain why. I have tried several driving irons and have never felt that they went as far as advertised and were fairly hard to hit. The Cleveland fairway was very forgiving and I was actually excited about the way I hit it. I actually sent a few of the balls over 220 yards which is very good for me and feel that the yardage will only get better. To give someone an idea of how long I hit the ball, I can hit a 3 iron on a good day about 205 yards. I hope this article will help some people as I previously was literally afraid to have a driver or fairway wood in my bag. Thank's Cleveland. Tulsa Tim

This is undoubtedly one of the best fairway woods on the market. Great feel off the face, and amazing distance. Very long. Good lower trajectory than most fairway woods, but that is a good thing for me. If you do not have at least an above average swing speed, opt for the titanium woods or a TaylorMade R5 fairway wood. Also very workable; the head is not too big like the titanium Launchers. The stock shaft is not the best; quite weak for the flex. I very well might reshaft it with a Speeder869 to match the 757 in my driver. I'm sure that this club would not be comparable to anything with that combination. Overall, an impressive club that is well worth the price ($200).
