Do you want to play one of the easiest golf irons on the market to hit like for M hits and those ideas you struggle with iron play duffing fatting Finning yet you quite enjoy maybe your hybrids or you struggle with how you interact with the ground the irons we’re looking at

Today could change everything for you in today’s video we’re going to be reviewing the Cleveland Halo XL ions I’m going to show you what they can do what they look like how they might actually change your perception of what an iron could be in your if you like the video

Not miss out on some crazy good deals it’s cold but I took them out onto the course and let’s take a look at how these ions looked and how they felt so they look big I mean they do redefine what irons are like the five iron is basically a very big hybrid it’s

A big hybrid it’s like iron here but then drops off with this big bit of the back and it’s a big size hybrid so I don’t know what to call the five high and hybrid thing like it it just totally it more than crosses over where the

Wedge looks like a wedge I mean it looks like a big headed wedge from here we still get so we still get this drop back this way but you don’t see any of it from the top you’re basically just looking at this top line from the top

And the a iron is in between you see a little bit of the back of the head out of the heel side and it disappears into the toe which is quite unique you see like this little bit here and then it kind of swayes away into the toe from

Your gaming position which makes me feel for most people most of the irons are going to feel just like big headed irons it’s not until you get up near s six and five that then they do start really screaming help help help but the truth of the matter is is that most average

Golfers are not screaming help help help in those eyes and they should be I’m not wearing sunglasses these are transitions it is Winter the ground is frozen and I know I am cool I can’t help it I just can’t help in every cycle that these came come around I ask the same question

To myself and to you the audience like why more people aren’t just gaming these it makes it very clear that we’re buying a lot of our equipment I think on ego and love and I mean even to the point where I talk about looks because performance for

Most clubs are so similar nowadays like they are all matching out but then when it comes to these I think because they’re so extreme this is where possibly you could see a needle shift yet people are reluctant to shift the needle because they’re hanging on to a

Day gone by almost with their clubs it’s really these are they pose a very interesting human question which is do you want to look a certain way or do you want to perform a certain way way and it should be for most of you perform like they just feel solid I have

Gamed these clubs I have gamed these clubs in a 6ine took my normal six9 out and game these and I’ll be honest with you like it just felt so easy and I could easily do it again we better come back a bit for the five IR because the

Five is going to bomb the five’s remarkable because it just is the fattest iron you’re ever going to play making it just so easy launch like it is you hit them and it’s like oh my word that’s so easy and regardless how we Define easy or not it

Feels definitely feels easy I think it could be challenged how easy it is but I do think more people are going to get launches that they should and deserve with these me battling with a five IR in a regular set my longest L is a six ir

And I’ve got got some speed and H it okay let’s go forward for the wedge I think this 9 and wedge are basically just Blended like with you set they’re totally just kind of blending in like looks wise this could blend with a gaming wedge you know like a one of their players

Wedges yet you still have that same feeling of pop up in the air like they have a hollow Bish kind of sound but they’re not too crazy to be fair like they are feeling a little bit more iron likee maybe the Iron’s gone by or the

Version’s gone by but what I do like is that you do feel like you could do anything you do with normal irons with these and a bit more maybe we should challenge that in the game at the end the Halo xal have more mass away from the face trying to increase Moi so

Pushing it much more towards the ideas of hybrids and woods helping you keep the ball speed up on Miss hits the full face features a striking area that’s 20% larger than the last generation so if you want a face that is big as well as supported weight off it heel and toe

Balance this is going to do it featuring Hydro zip blast on the face so they using their face technology basically from their wedges and irons to bring them into the Halos to allow you to try and keep consistency of spin performance and we will test this in the game at the

End two white grooves on the bottom to help with alignments you’ve got the alignment on the bottom as well to help it sit on the ground to help you point that club in the direction you want it to go they’re definitely aimed at golfers who are looking for as much help

As possible but they do as always offer the question they kind of pose the question are we just getting irons wrong like we we just buying into our egos rather than looking purely at performance because obviously the Striking part of the tech is the look of these as I’ve said earlier you’re not

Buying these irons thinking I’ve got the best looking irons in the world you would be buying these for functionality alone and in theory I mean that’s the only reason we should buy any club isn’t it and the short irons in this set feature the vroo that we’ve seen from

Srixon and Cleveland before I’ve got in in my shrien ions which definitely helps with the idea of turf interaction and manipulating that club on the more lofted irons where you will play maybe a variety of different shots with those clubs as well as we see in all the

Cleveland products we have the action Mass CB so counterbalancing at the other end trying to help again with stab ities and feels and control of that face making for an all round as friendly an iron if we’re still calling it an iron as you could possibly get the eight Iron’s carrying an average

Of around 182 yes 182 yards it spins around 5,300 revs so it’s a very low spinning and launching around 20° 19.7 average I think it was so it it’s a high launch low spinning power bat like they’re powerful irons through their launch characteristics let’s see what we

Get out of five so the five iron spins around 3,300 revs it’s averaging carry 219 yards bomb ball again it’s the same ideas launching around the 14° mark so they’re healthy launch they’re low spin as you’d expect and they’re very healthy distance the only other thing to add is

They do feel a little bit draw which I think for lots of people is a good thing if you’re struggling with shots off to the right but it is something I would want you to bear in mind with these that you might find that they are a little

Draw which might overdraw some people I feel like I can manage it it’s tiny but it is there so if we’re looking at seven piece sets of seven ions you’re looking at around $900 an equivalent UK pricing making these irons very good value for money in the present world of irons

There are considerably more expensive options out there these are priced much more with the idea of trying to get people encourage them to get as much help as possible but around a price that is more affordable now what’s affordable obviously is relative and we could debate that forever but in the Realms of

Where they sit compared to other clubs they’re definitely competitively priced so let’s be real with the game what can I do with clubs on the course that I might or can’t do with them I should say that I might be able to do with a regular set of VES let’s do a

Series of challenging difficult gaming shots almost quite extreme can I push the extreme Club to hit extreme shots when they’re built maybe just to flop up in the air and be easy to hit that’s often the thing in it more game B in a blade to these just they’re too easy

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah let’s test it or let’s test me 40 y cut with the five iron so I’m not really going under I’m going to try and go round big curvature oh yeah yeah yeah oh that’s perfect yes please yes please the only

Slight point with this is when you open the face up like I did you expose more of that bounce so on a tight lie trying to do that you do have to feel like you’re really getting that healing so as an extreme that’s where that so might be

A negative this is frozen ground and I cut that 55 yards like overcut it easy sling H around this tree so the green round here it’s again about 4050 yard kind of hook so with the eight iron I’m not going to try and go low cuz it’s going to go under

Them uh there’s no roots here is there okay 40 yard hook like this feels like it’s going to be easy with this club to be fair oh yeah look at that go I mean that’s just no different to any that’s really slung in fact it kind of feels

Easier because of how much you’ve got down by the ball what about a punt shot so I’m nearly 6t so what’s that 9 10t trying to go under that obviously people think that these just pop up in the air like can you punch it and people don’t

Question that really they do you know they accept they go up so I’m going to do it with a five and an eight iron because the five iron feels like easy to do this is i’ I’m like what one 60 out so just putting a five iron

Back and just punching that forwards I mean I’ve overdone it that’s too low like that’s crazy too low and a little left so easy like extreme I I mean that was going this high so the five iron no problem knocking that down I mean it is just Loft this doesn’t really engage if

You like on every shot and if it does it’s only a tiny amount it’s enough to make a difference maybe over time time but you can still override it so an eight iron which I would never use in this situation I’d use like a six really

Or that five and I wouldn’t try and knock it down so this needs knocking down and you can see that look that’s an eight iron popping under that very low hanging tree you can do anything with these as long as you can do stuff with clubs what

You can do with these as well is pop them up a little bit more in the air which is where I think the majority of golfers will win with a club like this you’ve just got to let go that ego which is so hard for golfers I really like

That what do you think is it something you would try if you want to find out how to hit your IR better this video’s got all the answers it doesn’t matter what your you use just improves your skill
