FAIRWAYS TO HEAVEN

Cleveland's new HALO fairways, hybrids and irons give mid-handicappers better chances to manage their games.

Cleveland Golf’s reputation in giving recreational golfers the best chance at improving continues with the launch of the new HALO range of fairway woods, hybrids and even irons. The key highlights for the brand that’s owned by sport mega-house Dunlop are taking tried and tested technologies and enhancing them with the advancements in material science and computer-aided prowess.

Hitting fairway woods from the deck is one of the many reasons why average golfers chalk up high scores. The Cleveland HALO XL Fairway Woods addresses this with a list of features to help this group of golfers get the ball up in the air, and on line.

The GlideRail is a design on the sole of the club that incorporates large, tapered rails that help deliver optimal ball striking and clean turf interaction. Each rail is designed to gently glide straight through the turf so you can maintain clubhead speed and keep a square face through impact. Plus, they’re super helpful from the rough or any tough lie.

The MainFrame XL feature uses a variable thickness face pattern that expands and reshapes the sweet spot for more energy transfer across the face. Inside the clubhead, Al helped us figure out the best spot to place weight pads for long, high-launching ball flight. Working with this, the XL Head Design allows more mass to be shifted away from the centre of the club, thus increasing moment of inertia (MOI), and increasing forgiveness and consistency. The HiBore Crown Step further brings the centre of gravity (CG) lower for longer, straighter ball flight, and the deeper face creates a larger and more forgiving striking area.
