Fusing the distance of a fairway wood with the control of a hybrid, Cleveland HALO XL Hy-Woods are specifically engineered to be a more friendly, easier-to-hit fairway wood replacement. The Hy-Woods' head size, shape, and shaft length fall directly between fairway woods and hybrids, while its lightweight shaft increases swing speed without added effort.
The Launcher HALO XL's most significant technological advancement is the byproduct of artificial intelligence. Known as MainFrame XL Face Technology, Cleveland's R & D team utilized AI to simulate thousands of strikes across the club's face. After evaluating the performance characteristics of each result, face geometries were manipulated, and thousands more simulations were run. This deliberate process was repeated many times and ultimately led to the creation of an intricate, variable-thickness face design that vastly expands the sweet spot and improves energy transfer across the face. When combined with Rebound Frame's ability to allow for remarkable face flexing, MainFrame XL yields explosive ball speed wherever contact is made.
As beneficial as maximizing distance is, longer clubs are traditionally some of the most demanding clubs to hit consistently, frequently producing "thin" or "fat" shots. Cleveland's proprietary GlideRail technology reduces those frustrating misses, helping the HALO XL graze the surface without digging into the turf and minimizing the impact of challenging lies on the club head. Additionally, the improved XL Head design's lower, deeper center of gravity elevates launch, MOI, stability, and forgiveness, so the inevitable mishit isn't nearly as punishing.
The final piece of technology powering the HALO XL isn't found in the club head. Cleveland inserts an 8g weight at the end of the shaft, creating a counterbalanced effect, the benefits of which are dynamic. As you take the club away from address, Action Mass CB weight makes it feel lighter and more controlled. Added control leads to added stability and a more repeatable golf swing. At the beginning of the downswing, Action Mass brings your hands straight down and your arms close to your body, creating a better plane and a squarer club face while avoiding the casting motion commonly referred to as an "over the top" swing.
Features:
Control of a hybrid combined with the distance of a fairway wood
Size, shape, and shaft length between a fairway wood and a hybrid
Lightweight fairway wood shaft delivers added club head speed with no swing change
MainFrame XL Face technology uses AI to generate a variable thickness pattern that maximizes flex, boosting ball speed and distance while repositioning weight lower in the head for added forgiveness and consistency
GlideRail technology optimizes turf interaction for more consistent, uninterrupted swings, especially from the rough, and a square club face at impact
Improved XL Head design with a low, deep weight profile provides more MOI, stability, and forgiveness than the previous model and produces a high launch
Rebound Frame comprises 2 alternating flex zones acting in unison to direct more energy into the ball for increased ball speed
Action Mass CB 8 gram weight at the end of the shaft counterbalances the club for more control and stability through impact with a lighter feel
