Each year people are shown plenty of new technology that's promising to simply help each player hit the ball longer, straighter and more reliable. This year among the leaders in golf clubs technology appears to be SRI Sports which is the parent organization to Cleveland Golf along with a few the others. A few months before THP had the opportunity to show you some of their lineup in 2010 once we examined possibly the nicest looking irons available in the CG7 BP irons and the CG15 wedges. In this review we're planning to put it through some testing with 14 different people and take a look at their new driver. This is a THP Shot Video with Cleveland Golf Specialist Speaking DST TechnologyWeightThe Launcher DST driver is among the lightest people in the marketplace today because it is using Clevelandas Sub 300g Technology. This appears to be considered a trend on offer again to make groups light but as we remember back many years before, this didn't work to well. The general membership weight of this driver is 25-30 grams significantly less than standard and Cleveland reaches this stage by using a lighter grip and Mitsubishi Diamana canal that weighs just 47 grams. The canal is simply lacking 45.75 inches and with all of this factored in Cleveland Golf is declaring improved distance because the player will naturally move the club faster. Is light better? We shall learn quickly. Face Tech-Variable experience width allows larger C.O.R. on off center impacts- Mis-hits gain from a higher trampoline effect for more ballspeed and distance- 9 grams of weight is removed from the face area and repositioned low and strong in the clubhead- Creates a greater center of gravity for higher MOI and straighter drives ModelsAs mentioned, the Launcher DST comes with the Mitsubishi Diamana shaft and lots of other custom options are readily available for players on the market to use. The driver it self does have 3 designs, the DST, DST Tour, and the DST Draw with the lofts different on the Tour product somewhat. The lofts available for the regular and draw types are 9, 10.5, and 12 levels and on the Tour product they are available in 10.5, 9.5, and 8.5. The Tour product does come standard with a smaller canal by about half an inch in addition to a couple of levels open. All three types retail in price around $299.LooksAs THP did a year ago, we shall applaud them again on the headcovers. They have the simple display ataba and more importantly seem great and healthy great. Underneath the amaska, you view a driver that is a throwback of sorts. The Launcher DST is traditional in seems nearly all just how around. Your classic shape is featured by it with a brilliant black overhead that's no alignment support at all and the only real is practically only opera with several marks on it in white and blue. Cleveland has paid attention to buyers we think and have actually gone back to a classic look that folks have been asking for, for some time now. Both the pull and standard models are complete 460cc owners as the trip type is available in at 430cc.Range TestingThanks to the new 2010 DSO, discovering testers to try out the Cleveland DST Launcher wasn't very hard to do, once we had 12 keen golfers ready to try out his new driver from Cleveland Golf. We create range balls facing each golfer and asked them to hit their normal driver as well as this 1 alternating every 2 balls to see what they looked at for distance, feel, etcaEach golfer began beating golf balls on the range and the initial thing that every individual specialist discovered was so how light the Cleveland Launcher DST is when alternating owners. However this is the first alightera driver we have come across at THP that appears to have gotten it right in relation to the weighting. Going light simply for the benefit of increasing rates doesn't sound right without balance. Cleveland hit the nail on the pinnacle in terms of balance with the DST line. The is practically an ideal harmony or synergy between the two and it is the first time THP has seen that in the lighter driver technology. After about 30-45 minutes of hitting balls we questioned our testers to discover what they preferred and didnat like about the new Cleveland Launcher DST driver. Looks a' Surprisingly this was the only real ting that people said that they wanted somewhat changed. They very nearly universally wished to view a little more color on the sole as opposed to the traditional and plain style that I simply talked about choice therefore much. Feel & Sound a None of the testers discovered a abettera sense, but many loved the sound a lot. The noise is just a high pitched tone, but nothing can beat the exceptionally clear drivers on the market today. That one almost seems modest compared. Distance a' 7 out of the 12 testers found a small escalation in distance. That's more than 50%, nevertheless the gain was on average less than 5 yards. Nevertheless not really a single player out of the 12 found a reduction in distance, some thing we rarely see. Accuracy a 8 out of the 12 testers were more accurate (according to them) with this driver than with their particular driver.Course TestingI have been wanting to bring the DST driver line out on the class for several months now since they appeared for the 2010 DSO, and my opportunity was finally here. I surely could put the driver within my case throughout play for 9 units and numerous selection times and have come away pretty satisfied. First thing I wish to examine stability. As previously mentioned above this really is the first driver that's gone light in that and weight has the right balance through the entire team. All through testing it actually never came up, but it seemed to work in relation to swing pace when put in play. I saw a small increase to my swing rate which translated in to a range increase of about 3.5 yards during play. Nevertheless the kicker for me, was that I lost no accuracy at all during my entire demonstration period of this driver. One thing that Cleveland Golf got right with the Launcher DST was the experience. Too many of the lighter weight groups of today absence any feel whatsoever, but Cleveland matches the head and base so well that the feel isn't lost. Something I was nearly wanting and was a fantastic surprise. Feedback is immediate and extremely extensive, no matter where you mishit it, you know immediately and it's not dampened, yet the forgiveness was retaining the ball extremely right. The flight of the ball was somewhat more than expected but that will come in place because of the length that's high release and low spin. By enough time I was done with my assessment, I was pretty disgusting impressed with what Cleveland was getting out for people this season. I do want to touch on one more subject in this review and that's sound. Therefore several owners today sound positively awful, also Cleveland was affected by this very part of their 2009 XLS Monster. A driver that worked immensely, but was suffering from an extremely loud noise at impact that seemed just like breaking glass. The Launcher DST features a great high pitched tone, that is nothing can beat that and it was a welcome surprise.OverallCleveland Golf is on a significant part this year with their new equipment range and for consumers that's wonderful news as it creates more alternatives to find the perfect gear for your game. This driver definitely meets the old motto of do not choose a by its cover!

If you're available in the market for a fresh driver for 2010, this one must certanly be in your short listing of clubs to try.
