Just ordered my new driver. After many months of searching I settled on the Cleveland Launcher 400cc. I ordered it from BHM Golf. $240 no tax or shipping. They had been offering it for $260 but on Satrurday dropped it another $20 to close the deal

I tried it because of a bad knee - I took a lesson but my body kept going back tp classic and modern swing style. It is part of a group of swing styles know as single axis(?) there was a great message board out there which I will try to dig up and post it covered all the variation of that swing style.

Would you recommend the sensicore?
I am leaning towards getting it this time.
How forgiving did you find the long irons? The first club I hit was a 4 iron. It felt great. Similar feel all up and down the set.
Would you recommend the sensicore? No. My current set has the sensicore shaft which dampens feel. I liked the feedback from the non-sensicore shaft better. I have also experienced a yardage "gap" with my current set between the 46 degree pitching wedge (135 yards) and the 51 degree F wedge (110 yards). I found that I needed to hit one more club with the non-sensicore shaft (note the Mx20's have same loft as Comp-EZ), e.g., instead of a 6, I hit a 5. This essentially gave me another club at the short end. I hit the Mx20 pitching wedge about 120-125, thus the gap was gone.

PJ,
I played a round up in Weschester County today - with my new driver. I do not know what you are currently using - but this Cleveland launcher is some stick. I cannot say enough about it. Played from the blues on a difficult course the drives were screaming down the fairway - can't wait to get new irons then maybe change my handle to scratch golfer

PG,
The driver I have my eye on is the new Taylor-Made 540. I tried one recently on the store's machine. Ten balls in a row, exact same flight path, straight with a slight draw & 260 on the fly. I should have bought the damn thing on the spot.
