Review: Cleveland Ladies Launcher XL270 Driver

Written by  Graham Green on Monday, 23 May 2011

Perhaps the first thing you notice when you pick up the Cleveland Golf Ladies Launcher XL270 driver is just how light it is – in fact it is one of the lightest drivers available on the market today. We review the Cleveland Golf Ladies Launcher XL270 driver here.


This club holds great advantages for those trying to gain more distance off the tee. The model also features a Miyazaki C. Kau 39 graphite shaft, the lightest shaft ever to be played on the PGA tour. The Right Weight fitting system offers a choice of three different weights - 270g, 290g, and 310g - allowing lady golfers to find the best driver to suit their swing speed and game.

This classically styled driver is perfect for those who find the traditionally heavier clubs difficult to use. If you don't have a particularly fast swing speed, then you will appreciate the benefits of this driver. It is ideal for mid to high handicaps who struggle to achieve the swing speed of someone with a lower handicap.

The reduced weight of the Cleveland Golf Ladies Launcher XL270 Driver, coupled with a longer shaft, produces a faster club head speed, and we are certainly impressed with how it performed on the day we tested it. We found we were gaining extra distance from the tee, with each shot consistently producing more carry. It is a fantastic driver for overall control, with the traditionally weighted 460cc club head offering excellent forgiveness. However, it is worth mentioning that players with a faster swing speed may find the lighter weight of the driver effects their ability to get the feel and control they are use to.

The Right Weight fitting system was put in place by Cleveland so that every golfer could find their perfect driver. All golfers have a swing and style particular to them, and Cleveland certainly cater for this with a choice of three distinct drivers in the Launcher range. We would say that the Cleveland Golf Ladies Launcher XL270 Driver has advantages that the majority of female golfers would be glad to see. Although it should be iterated that, even if you go for a higher weight, it is still a comparatively light driver and if you already perform well with a heavier one, you may find it difficult to adapt.

In our estimation, most lady golfers will find this attractive driver easy and comfortable to use. It provides greater ball speed and distance without sacrificing overall stability and feel.
