Cleveland Launcher DST Driver – the lightest most powerful driver in golf
The new Cleveland Launcher DST driver may look like a fairly conventional club, but it’s hiding a big
technology secret…
…The Launcher DST is the lightest driver in golf!
The clubweight is just 292 grams – that’s 25 grams lighter than standard drivers, which usually weigh in around
the 317 grams mark. The lighter the clubweight, the faster the clubhead speed and that equals greater overall
distance (a three to 10 yard gain).
At only a half millimetre in thickness, the new Launcher crown is the thinnest possible, which also helps move
every bit of potential weight low and deep in the clubhead to optimise launch conditions and maximise distance.

The variable face thickness of the driver Launcher DST allows a higher C.O.R. on off-centre hits for a higher
trampoline effect and more ball speed and distance on miss hits shots.
Moreover nine grams of weight is removed from the face and repositioned low & deep in the club head to
create a lower, deeper centre of gravity (CG) for a better launch angle, higher MOI and straighter, longer
drives.
In addition to the head design, the DST is fitted with a longer, lighter Mitsubishi Diamana shaft. This too
contributes to the higher swing speeds and additional distance golfers can expect.
All of this technology is packed inside a club that boasts those sought-after traditional great looks – a classic
pear shaped head, a jet-black crown with no alignment aid, a square to open face angle that sits perfectly
behind the ball and a classic sole design.
