cleveland halo utility club

MODEL & SHAFT PLAYED:
Cleveland HALO 2i Club with 19° loft and fitted with a HALO regular graphite shaft.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
This is the first hybrid club I have tried, having resisted the current trend to drop long irons out of the bag in favour of more forgiving utilities. This club looks more like a small headed 5-wood than a ‘chunky iron’.

VERDICT:
I needed to tee the ball low to keep the trajectory down when using this club from the tee but the HALO provided solid, boring shots off the deck when hit with a smooth swing. Distance wise this club seemed an ideal 2-iron replacement, with shots flying slightly longer and higher than my current 2-iron when hit smoothly. In fact, as I don’t really like to use my 3-wood, this club could perform two jobs – it could replace my fairway wood as well as my longest iron, allowing me to add another wedge to my bag.
