Lots of golfers feel more confident hitting woods and hybrids rather than irons and Cleveland has just the club for them. The hollow construction of the Halo XL pushes weight to the perimeter increasing the MOI or resistance to twisting and helping produce a high launch.
Halo irons have been on the market for several years and the latest full-face version made use of artificial intelligence to engineer a variable thickness face design that has 20% more area than the previous model. Players will like the two alignment lines at the bottom on the leading edge which help centering the ball and keeping the face square at address.
The soles of the 4- through 7-iron have rails to reduce interaction with the ground while the 8- and 9-iron soles are V-shaped to accommodate a descending blow. The wedge soles have a three-tiered grind to improve impact for short scoring shots.
