You're the best reviewer and instructor on youtube, by a mile. I really value what you do.

4:55 Yes, you should do a video comparing "cheap" vs. expensive and I have a model comparison for you. I finally took your advise, and last month bought a set of Sub 70 model 799 irons. This is a direct competition to the Stealth HD, Cleveland Launcher XL Halo etc. The 799's cost me US$90 per iron or $630 for seven irons (custom build, delivery included, complimentary head covers, cap, and bag of tees). I love the results. Coming from a strong lofted cavity back, my 7-iron gained 25 more feet in height, descent angle improved to 45* from 40*, shots, have more spin and actually slightly more carry. Give Sub 70 799 a comparison test with "name-brand" hybrid-irons. Sub 70 has a dozen heads to choose from (pure blade to hybrid-irons) and many shaft options.

I'm thinking of buying these, I always used to joke about hybrid iron golfers based on the chunky launcher design but THESE, actually look ok as they are mostly silver so the size of them does not seem to offensive. I also play with a rain cover on my bag, so I'm not really flashing my clubs about to people.

I really want to get my game back in 2023, I'm a big believer in trying to fix things with hardware before you get involved in complex swing changes that are much harder for many golfers to adopt as we're not robots, or playing with the best fundamentals to begin with where we can just change something on a tangent.

[sheckyreturns]

Yes, please can you do a comparison of the Cleveland vs Taylormade game improvement.

[SwitzerlandScott]

I really appreciate the lack of ego in your reviews. You are about helping people improve their game and remove the fluff and nonsense. Best in the business and most practical.

Was looking into cobra t rails, cleveland halos, and wilson launch pads. I'm sold. Great review.

[old_dog]

interesting to see more irons look like the Cleveland Halo XL's and Wilson Launcher series as well. I have the Clevelands and love the flight and height that they allow me to get so much easier than what I had achieved with my standard irons I had. Lost some distance but accuracy is way up and consistency as well.

[bobpaine]

My 18 handicap wife got fitted for the HD irons and is looking forward to getting them but I agree with your assessment that maybe more of us should be playing them, after all the vast majority of us are playing for enjoyment, great honest review as always 👍

[sware]

i have difficulties with launch with my irons also. i am not a fan of the stronger lofts of most new iron sets. i've never been able to hit a 5 iron since a started playing golf in the 80's, and now an 8 iron has the same loft as 5 from way back then. i'm with others that if you don't have the speed and consistence of ball compression, you have to have more loft for launch, spin, and distance. i'm planning on going in for a fitting for my first ever "NEW" irons because not only do i want irons that feel and look good, but need to know about what shafts to use. and like others stated, these irons and other Super Game Improvements irons are on the radar. thanks for all the info you give to us players that just want to have fun while out playing!!

I agree that launch/loft stuff is so critical. Regardless of the set, I need to go to Hybrids about 24-25 degrees. So if that’s a 5 iron or 4 iron that I get rid of depends on the set, but I had to check/test. My old AP2s I carried a 27 degree 5 iron and new Cleveland XLs I stop at 26 degree 6 iron. I’m a 5 hcp and in my 50s and just don’t swing as fast as I used to so I got some more help and a lighter club and while I miss the looks/feel of my AP2s, I don’t miss the 130 gram shafts and thin shots in the cold. It’s just easier and I haven’t noticed any shots I need that I can’t hit because of the club. I’m glad I made the change and put my ego in check.

[ajaytuk]

HD are for me - 100 % agree with you on the tech, and I am OK with the looks. If you can amortize the costs which are eye watering as a one off cost, then a set like this will last you forever, say 8 years min thats about 120 per year 10 pound a month. Trade in my callaways to golf bidder, don't buy a new driver if you don't really need one- then it makes perfect sense ( as I talk to myself 🙂) and I am You could do a video about when you should really consider changing a driver that you are actually happy with?

[sleepylebeef]

Would love to see the launcher XL halo vs these. Like in the next 2 weeks before I buy a set.

[pollymolly]

Just got a set a few weeks ago and absolutely love them. They look good and my 5 iron goes 30 yards further than my previous set and admittedly I used to not hit my irons far, not anymore

[TheDrflay]

When talking about GI clubs. Everyone talks about "who this club can help" but I'd be interested in your thoughts on who the Clevelands Launchers and the Stealth HDs etc. can hurt... would it hurt a single digit handicapper to play with these clubs? Would their scores actually increase as a result of putting these in their bag? That would be a great test. I'd love to see you play a round with two bags one MB and one HD to see which round scores better.

[jimclarke]

I play with Cleveland CBX irons and love them except I struggle to hit the 5 and 6 irons consistently. So I bought the Stealth HD 5 and 6 irons to replace them. They are lofted and lied very similar and shaft lengths are virtually the same. What a great decision this was. The Stealth HDs are so easy to hit and get in the air. Best purchase I’ve made for my bag. I like the way they look and don’t give a monkeys what others think. Using these has knocked 5 shots off my score. Happy days. Oh forgot to add I use a Cleveland HB 4 iron which fits in nicely. That’s very easy to hit too.

[steviegoldthorpe]

Great video Mark I've got the Stealth irons in a 120g kbs tour stiff shaft and I love them.
Such a cracking iron to hit.
Will never change them.

[mikevreeland]

If I was in the market I would definitely look at these. That said, one thing that's disappointing with these and many others is that it can be hard to get them in smaller sets, like 6-PW. The player that needs help probably hits hybrids and maybe longer fairway woods (I have 4 and 5 hybrids and and 5 and 7 woods) and don't need the longer irons.

[thomascrator]

I used to slice every iron shot and struggled getting the ball airborn, went to Stealth HD and I now hot pin straight moon shots. My 7 iron goes 145-150, 6 iron 155-160 and 5 iron about 180. Perfect distances when I factor in myb3 hybrid I can worknfrom 180-200, 3 wood 210-220 and driver 240ish. I game Ping G425 driver and 3 wood and a Big Bertha 3 hybrid, which is the easiest hybrid to hit.

[samueldanealexander]

You've sold me on chunky clubs, I traded in for these HDs. I was surprised to be strongly recommended into something like stealth, srixon, and paradym. I'm +30 hc, lol I need all the help I can get and I bought what I hit best. Thanks for the videos!

[wallstreetoneil]

I'm a scratch player and I love chipping around the green with a 52-degree wedge - as such, I will be ordering a custom wide-soled Cleveland Full-Faced CBX2 52, with a heavier shaft because of exactly what you pointed out in this video about having a cheat club in the bag for not fun lies around the green. So many more people should do this - like 98% more. I'm scratch & I'm doing this - every person I play with doesn't but should.
