HIGHLIGHTS

check FIT TO YOUR SWING
The new Cleveland Launcher XL2 comes in two different options to help you find the one that best fits your game off the tee: a standard model for golfers looking to fully dial in ball flight, and a draw-biased model built for more moderate speed players to — as you can probably guess — help reduce a fade.
check Ai TECH
The two big technologies updates are the A.I. designed mainframe XL variable face thickness to help increase the overall size of the effective sweet spot for higher ball speeds, and the rebound frame to help the entire driver head beyond the face flex to more efficiently transfer energy.
check BIG HEADS
With the Launcher XL2s, the geometry of the driver has been pushed to the limit to boost MOI (as mentioned 2 percent heel-to-toe and 12 percent top-to-bottom) which not only helps golfers hit more fairways but also helps inspire confidence behind the ball.

As far as technology is concerned the Cleveland Launcher XL2 and XL2 Draw models share the same platform but are configured to meet the needs of different golfers.

Cleveland Launcher XL2 excelled in 3 areas during robotic driver testing
By: Jonathan Wall

Here’s how the rebound frame works — behind the face is a secondary thin ring area that deforms during impact like springs on a trampoline. Once those springs rebound, more energy is effectively transferred to the ball. This technology might sound familiar because it is the same premium design used in Srixon’s ZX MKII drivers, and it’s made possible because Cleveland and Srixon all live under the same Dunlop Sports umbrella.

When Cleveland says XL for its Launcher XL2 drivers, they mean it. The geometry of the driver has been pushed to the limit to boost MOI (as mentioned 2 percent heel-to-toe and 12 percent top-to-bottom) which not only helps golfers hit more fairways but also helps inspire confidence behind the ball.

This larger profile design is made possible because of the extremely lightweight all-titanium framework that makes up the head construction and also helps save weight to reposition it around the perimeter for as much forgiveness as possible.
