The weight savings from not having an adjustable hosel, combined with the namesake HiBore Crown, allowed the designers to position weight deep and low in the head. With a fixed hosel, it’s understandable that Cleveland Golf designers tended toward helping golfers hit a draw. Piecing together all the information brings me to conclude that the HB Launcher Turbo fairway is designed to fight the right and loves the ball sitting up a bit. When swinging for a fade, the ball flew high and straight. The hook was now a controlled, mid-high draw. The next week, back outside off grass, the 3 wood performed really nicely. A few days later, I visited Club Champion to gather data and struggled with a low hook. I wrote down three words: high, straight and long. During my first experience, late on a Sunday afternoon before the range closed, I was able to hit only about a dozen golf balls utilizing a low tee. Three separate sessions with the Cleveland HB Launcher Turbo fairway helped me to get a complete picture of the performance of this club.
Hovering the club, the head felt a bit heavy but changed to a balanced, fluid feel when swinging with the counterbalanced Miyazaki C. Mirroring the sound element, feel in the hands was very consistent – not much feedback. The sound is consistent over a large impact area and trends towards a click beyond that.

While the driver is boisterous, the Cleveland HB Launcher Turbo fairway has a modest volume, medium pitch metallic crack. It’s not extreme, but the club head sets up a tad closed to my eye.

The three ridges and micro nubs on the crown plus the numerous angular levels on the sole create a stealthy look. The matte black and smoky grey finishes, coupled with the black Miyazaki shaft and accented with a few red paintfills, provides a lot of eye appeal. The Cleveland HB Launcher Turbo is one of the best looking fairway woods of 2019. What I discovered beyond the familial resemblance was a club with its own personality. IntroductionĪfter being impressed with the Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo driver (review HERE), the bar was set pretty high for its smaller sibling – the fairway wood. With a stealthy look and aerodynamic design, the Cleveland HB Launcher Turbo fairway wood is hard to beat for looks and ball speed.
