The new Launcher 460 Comp driver is made with an ultra-lightweight tri-ply carbon fiber composite crown. This lightweight section allows for the redistribution of 25 grams of weight to lower and deeper locations around the clubhead perimeter. This redistribu tion of mass reduces the center of gravity (CG) height and moves it further away from the face to produce drives with high launch and low spin from a greater percentage of the clubface.
This same mass redistribution also allows for additional weighting to critical perimeter areas that help dramatically increase moment of inertia (MOI), or the resistance to twisting on off-center shots. In addition, an Argonquenched SP700 beta-titanium laser-welded face helps create a hitting area that increases ball speed at all locations.
One of the principle drawbacks with most other new multi-material drivers is the sound they emit at impact. Through extensive research and added testing, the engineers at Cleveland Golf were able to better analyze and ultimately optimize the impact sound of the new Launcher 460 Comp driver. This added emphasis on clubhead acoustics has helped Cleveland Golf to create the best sounding multimaterial driver on the market today.

I'm a wild hitter who is starting to get some consistency off the tee and am getting my handicap down, so when upgrading my clubs recently, after a lot of research I decided to try the Launcher Comp. As well as a very satisfying sound on impact, this club adds around 15 metres of carry to my "average" drive, and 30 or 40 metres on any that I really nail. The first time I went to the range to test my new driver the extra distance was downright scary, for a club with such a sweet feel at impact. I still spray my drives regularly, but my hooks and slices aren't nearly as wild as they used to be with my previous driver, and the extra distance is a big benefit to my game.
