The clubhead of the LDI was hollowed in order to incorporate a strategically located internal weighting system. It's this distinctive combination of space and weight, Cleveland says, that lowers and deepens the center of gravity and increases the Moment of Inertia (MOI) "well beyond that of standard irons."
The Launcher Driving Iron properties produce a penetrating ball flight with added stability for distance and consistency, according to Cleveland, with the end result a club that is easy to hit and an excellent choice for tight tee and long approach shots.
"The LDI shouldn’t be confused with the ‘helper’ clubs that are available. This is a club that’s built to be used as a driving iron," said Todd Harman, Director of Product Marketing. "Better players will really benefit from it off the tee on tight driving holes."
Available in lofts of 18 and 21 degrees, Launcher Driving Irons began shipping on Dec. 1, 2004. MSRP is $142 with a steel shaft and $191 with a graphite shaft.
