Tour Edge HL4 Iron-Wood Review

More in reviews:.

50 Words or Less

The Tour Edge HL4 Iron-Wood is super easy to hit.  High launching and long.

Introduction

I love it when an OEM goes all-in.  Whether it’s the most demanding blade or a crazy spaceship-like putter, I love clubs that are clearly built for a particular reason.  This is why I love the Tour Edge HL4 Iron-Wood.  Tour Edge is so far in on forgiveness, they put it right in the name: it’s not just an iron, it’s an Iron-Wood.  They set out to make a club that can make the game easier and more fun, and they succeeded.

The Tour Edge HL4 Iron-Wood is a big, meaty club designed to promote confidence.  Looking down at address, you’ll see a very thick top line and a “Rear Inverted Crown” sloping down behind it.  Tour Edge was clever in their color choice because the large black section becomes largely invisible when you’re playing (see the pictures above versus below).

The Iron-Wood does have a fair amount of offset, but it’s less than I expected.  Its large face and massive sole made me feel like I couldn’t miss .  The only thing I didn’t like is that this club really wants to sit shut at address.  I had to be aware of holding the face square before taking my grip.

In the bag, the Iron-Wood has the appearance of a hybrid.  The sole is tastefully branded, and Tour Edge even includes a woven headcover to keep it free from bag chatter.

Sound & Feel

At impact, the HL4 Iron-Wood is more iron than wood or hybrid, but it is a blend.  The sound of contact is quiet and mid-pitch, a small “click.”   It sounds fast but not explosive.

The one predictable downside to a club this forgiving is that it’s hard to feel mishits.  If you put one way on the toe or heel, you’ll know, but small misses are covered up.  There’s almost no change in impact sound regardless of strike quality.

Performance

The Tour Edge HL4 Iron-Wood is more forgiving than the grandmother you see twice a year .  It barely matters what kind of swing you make: the ball is going to get airborne and it’s going a long way.

At the heart of the Iron-Wood’s performance is the wide, heavy sole.  One advantage of the wide sole is that it doesn’t want to dig.  Yes, you can still hit a fat shot, but unless you swing it like an ax, the sole wants to work out of the turf.  Putting so much weight low also makes this club very high launching.  I’ve never hit a club that sends the ball this far and makes the ball land so softly .

My only word of warning is that this club does prefer going left.  For a lot of players, that’s a huge benefit – it will fight their slice.  For the hooker, this club is still very playable, but you do need to be aware of the possibility of the big left.

With the entire HL4 line, Tour Edge is making custom fitting (length, shaft flex, grip size) available at an affordable price.  The HL4 line also offers unprecedented flexibility in creating an iron set .  Tour Edge offers the HL4 hybrid from 3I-6I, an entire set of Iron-Woods all the way from 3I to lob wedge, and a standard iron set.  However you put your set together, it will making the game easier.

Whether you’re looking to put together an entire easy-to-hit set, doing a combo set, or just replacing a rarely-used long iron, the Tour Edge HL4 is a great choice.  It’s incredibly easy to hit and at just $79, it won’t break the bank.

Sounds like a easy driving iron to hit… If you’re other clubs have little offset, and this one has more. Would you tend to pull it more because of the offset.

That’s a possibility. It depends how the given player reacts to offset and the club’s weight and shaft.

I’ve really been wanting to try one of these iron-woods. The price is reasonable and the custom fit process makes it very attractive.

I played the geneation before these. The HL3. These are very similar except the back of the club on the HL3 was rounded instead of concave. They are very good clubs and like he said, very forgiving. I bought a full set and found them very easy to use. I wanted forgiveness as I was coming back to the game after years away. I have since moved to a more traditional iron set, Callaway Apex, but still game a Tour Edge putter. These are solid clubs at a great price. Highly recommended.

These clubs work well off of bare lies. I mix the 5 and 6 with my mizuno jpx 900’s during the summer when we have grass and play the full set during the winter months

I am a big fan of the HL3/4 line. Out of frustration with my hybrids I gave the HL3 #3 ironwood a try last year and it has saved my game. Since then I added the demo HL4 #6 and plan to also get the #5.

Bought one to fill a gap in my bag and couldn’t be happier! Easy to hit, flies straight and goes the distance I was looking for, and .. all at a really great price! Great long iron replacement or for those who don’t like hybrids. Oh, and, the stock Mamiya shaft .. at least for me, a regular recreational hacker .. works well, too. #SecretGiveaway4

I purchased the whole set. My first round I had 4 birdies on the back 9.. Don’t make such a big deal of offset. I carry a 4 handicap and the offset never makes me pull the ball left. If you want to go low? Put your ego away and play a CLUB THAT WILL LOWER YOUR SCORES AND BRING MORE FUN TO THE GAME!!

Hi Matt, currently a 16 handicap and thinking of the Tour Edge HL4 2 18 Degree Iron Wood or the Ping G700/710 in a 4 Iron Power Spec 18.5 Degree to fill a hole in my bag mainly to be used of the tee in tight fairways. Having reviewed them both, would you have any recommendations?

I haven’t hit the new G710 yet (they’re on their way). Between the G700 and the HL4 Iron-Wood, I would ask you how much do you want something that looks more like an iron. If you want the bigger head, the HL4 is great. If you really want an iron, you need to go with the G700. The other element in this is that the HL4, especially with its graphite shaft, is much easier to get airborne.

Thanks for the update and comparison on the G700 and HL4. I’m a 14 handicap and have no problem launching irons/hybrid and if anything launch them too high. Ideally just looking for a driving iron off the tee and at the moment is a choice of the G700 4 iron in power spec 18.5 degree, Ping G410 Crossover 2 iron 17 degree or the HL4 in 2 iron wood 18 degree. Just trying to getting opinions of what you think is better really?

There’s no objective “better,” it’s really just a matter of what works best for you. All three options are high quality and will work well if they’re fit correctly.

For someone that is struggling with traditional irons (shanking constantly), would these be an alternative? I love hitting my callaway XR 3 hybrid

Because of the offset in these clubs, I’m not sure they’d be the best quick fix for a case of the laterals.

How does the HL4 compare to the Cleveland Launcher HB Turbo irons ?

I haven’t hit the HB Turbo irons, so I can’t offer a comparison.

Hi, I have tour edge Bazookas. Looking at getting the hl4s. My current irons are 3,4,5 hybrids and the rest irons. The iron hybrid set includes 2 iron woods (6 & 7). I’m not sure what those are or if I need them. I was also told I should steel shafts not graphite. Not sure why, wouldn’t graphite be better. I play 2-3 times every 2 weeks and have been avg. 105 over my last 4 rounds. Any input would be much appreciated. Hope to purchase this week.

I would suggest finding a Tour Edge fitter so you can test both the graphite and steel shafts.

When hitting the hl4 irons .do you need to open the face because of the offset

I did not, I just understood that the shot pattern would be a bit further left than normal.

Thanks! I have it narrowed down to the Tour Edge HL4, Callaway Rogue X and the Taylor Made M6. All hybrid sets. What are your thoughts on all 3. Do you like one over the other. My swing speed is around 84. Also I’ve noticed, most sets now have a a 4 & 5 hybrid but, no 3 hybrid. Why is that?

I can only assume that OEMs are designing their sets to match the preferences of the majority of consumers. We have reviews of all the irons and hybrids that you listed here on the site. Beyond that, I can only recommend that you get fit so that you find the set that works best for your swing.

I got a 6 and 7 ironwood. The courses i usually play have elevated greens and my approach shots from 140 to 160 were usually short in the bunker or too hot slipping across the green and off the back. But, I cant hit these ironwood consistantly. I think I should hit them like an iron but at address they look like a hybrid and I sweep them and get nothing.

That’s understandable, a lot of people have trouble trying to not “pick” a hybrid.

Hi, went to get fit and hit some clubs at 2 places. Short story, keeping my irons but, purchased the M6 driver and will purchase a 3 wood. I was hitting well, 15 -20 more yards Question; I was getting a high launch angle. Even after lowering the ball. The driver had the atmos orange 5R. Would I be better off with the atmos black 6 Which is supposed to have a lower launch? Thoughts? Thanks!

If you were getting 15-20 more yards, why would you worry about the launch angle being too high?

Thanks so much for your review! Got a great deal on these with a custom length. My length is usually +.5 because I’m a taller player. Previously, I was also playing a higher loft (+2) to get the ball airborne. Since these seem to do that more naturally and I was prob getting too much loft previously, I am hoping these will be a better fit and more forgiving. Really am interested to see the flight pattern since I had a terrible slice (still do with driver), but since taking a lesson, I am pulling irons to the left pretty consistently with a regular hook. Might be time for another lesson!

I’ve been hitting Ping G-15 Hybrids; 17, 20, and 23 degrees for years but I am now looking at more modern clubs. I carry no fairway woods. The G-15’s look more like todays Tour Edge Iron Woods. I am comfortable with the large offset and look of the G-15’s. I’ve tried conventional hybrids but tend to have more mishits. Would the HL4 iron woods be as long and as foregiving as the G-15’s I currently use? The G-15’s are still very popular as evidenced by how hard it is to find used ones for sale. I’ve lost a few over the years because I often use them for chipping around the green. I currently use a 12 degree HL4 offset driver.

Your thoughts?

I would offer my stock advice: try them, and some other options, in a fitting. See what can outperform you current clubs and go with that.

I have really tried to hit a fairway wood – 3 or 5 – and I have hybrids 4,5 and 6 but I hit the ball the best with Tour Edge hybrid irons. I have a full set – 2 thru 9 and a pitching wedge. I also have a driver and a putter in my bag. Thats all I need for a relaxing round of golf.

Tour Edge HL4 line shows upgrades in hybrid and iron-wood collections

The Tour Edge Hot Launch HL4 line of hybrids and iron-woods reflect one of the original purposes of the long iron-substitute club. Of course that makes sense since Tour Edge founder and chief designer Dave Glod was one of the originators of the concept in the late 1990s.

What Glod has done is taken some of the learnings about materials and manufacturing that used to be reserved for his high-end line of Exotics clubs and bring to the value-driven HL4 line aimed at average golfers. That’s especially beneficial at the end of the bag where most average golfers struggle: the long irons.

Getting that kind of improvement starts with lowering the center of gravity in both the HL4 hybrid and iron-wood lines, both of which benefit from the hollow-body construction that has been an element of Tour Edge designs since their first iron-woods in 1999. The shallow-faced hybrid uses a lightweight, thin forged steel crown to help redistribute more saved weight low. The iron-wood improves its weighting through a different shape, Glod said.

“I think we totally nutted it with the iron-wood,” he said. “We flipped the crown upside down so it’s inverted. That’s the first time we’ve ever done, and it really helps get the center of gravity lower. That lets us make the lofts a little stronger to keep up with some of those animal iron lofts out there.”

Glod also pointed to an enhanced variable thickness face design to improve flexing for more ball speed.

“The hybrids kept the successful shape we had with the HL3s,” he said. “It’s got that little bit upside down shaping which helps lower the center of gravity.”

That’s a key point of emphasis for the HL4 hybrids and iron-woods, Glod said. “They really are easy to make the ball go straight up, and that’s what this player is looking for.”

That player is looking for that kind of performance at an affordable price and that’s exactly where the HL4 hybrid and iron-wood will live. Their prices are about half that of where many hybrids are priced, including Tour Edge’s own high-end line of Exotics clubs. The HL4’s design ideas, which includes a cupface on the hybrid and a channel on the sole of both hybrid and iron-wood to contribute to face flexing, have been fueled by the Exotics original developments.

“We’ve definitely applied some of that know-how further down the line,” Glod said. “This might be a price-engineered product, but I think the players who are interested in these clubs will not think they’re giving up anything. I think that’s why we’ve been successful with this line over the years. We honestly have to be a little careful about butting up against our premium line.”

The HL4 hybrids are offered in 19-, 22-, 25- and 28-degree lofts ($120 each). As has been tradition with the Hot Launch line over the years, the iron-woods will be completely interchangeable with a soon-to-be-released HL4 iron line. There are 12 lofts running from 18 to 59 degrees ($80 each in steel, $90 in graphite). The entire HL4 line now includes an upgraded Lamkin Z5 grip, too. The HL4 lineup will be available at retail Aug. 1.

Tour Edge introduces new HL4 hybrid and iron-wood

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: when it comes to technology and value Tour Edge is one of the absolute leaders in the golf industry. To complement the already announced HL4 Driver ( WRX Spotted: Tour Edge HL4 Driver) , Tour Edge is introducing the HL4 Hybrids and Iron-wood set. Both clubs will be available for order individually, but the Iron-wood will go all the way down to a 59-degree wedge – yes that’s NOT a typo, a 59-degree wedge, but we’ll get to that in a bit.

HL4 Hybrids

“Get ready for the ultimate launching experience.”  —David Glod Tour Edge founder and lead designer.

The HL4 Hybrids when compared to previous models are designed with the more mass in the sole, and positioned to further away from the face to increase MOI (measurement of resistance to twisting = forgiveness) this newly positioned mass helps increase both launch & forgiveness numbers – who doesn’t want that from a hybrid? (go ahead I’ll wait)

The HL4 Hybrid also has a cup face designed with Variable Face Thickness technology to provide greater distance from more points on the face. This is important because as we know in golf – we can only make clubs go so fast/produce a certain ball speed before they become illegal under the rules. This point of maximum energy transfer is small but by repositioning mass and varying the thickness of the club face you can increase that area and help get more energy transfer on less than perfect strikes.

We can always talk about what’s under the hood, but there are some visual design features that offer just as many interesting points as COG. The HL4 Hybrid has a high-toe face design which improves the look from address and prevents the dreaded “this looks like it’s going left” observation. Even with the high toe design we still have a shallow face to help get the ball up from almost any lie and inspire confidence for those players that struggle with longer clubs.

HL4 Iron-wood

Yeah yeah I get it, “you” don’t need a hybrid 7 or 8-iron, but a LOT of golfers need all the help they can get, and that’s what the Hl4 Iron-woods are designed to do. Dating back almost 15 years the Tour Edge Iron-woods have been a game changer for a lot of recreational golfers looking for help with their iron game. I can recall the days of my time in golf retail and the HUGE number of original Tour Edge Bazooka J-Max iron-woods we would sell to regular golfers just looking for some assistance and to have fun.

As far as the design goes like many modern clubs built for speed there is a flexible “Power Channel” on the sole behind the face of the iron-wood. It’s wider and deeper compared to the hybrid for better weight distribution and increased flex = ball speed. Other tech features include:

• Super-thin forged face allow for increase discretionary mass
• Hollow hyper-steel body maximizes stability
• Rear Inverted Crown lowers the CG for high launch
• Progressing sole width, offset and top for playability throughout the set

Custom Fitting Promise

Here’s where it gets interesting: unlike a lot of “value” focused brands Tour Edge is 100% committed to custom fitting and building.

Once again, I’ll let Glod take it from here for a moment

“We see HL4 as being the best value available in the custom fitting market, which is why we created our 48-hour custom fitting delivery guarantee. Our message is Get Fit. Spend Less. Play Better. We want to open up custom fitting to thousands of new golfers who are looking for innovation and performance at logical prices.”

This is a mission statement I can get behind.

Availability

HL4 hybrid comes in 19, 22, 25 and 28 degree lofts. All lofts will be available in right and left-handed models. The HL4 hybrid will feature a retail price of $119.99.

The HL4 Iron-Wood is available in 18, 20, 23, 26, 29, 32, 36, 40, 44, 49, 54 and 59 degree lofts. All lofts will be available in right and left-handed models. The individual HL4 Iron-Wood will carry a price of $79.99 in KBS Tour 90 steel shafts and $89.99 in graphite.

The year was 2012. Gangnam Style ruled supreme, its infectious beats and ludicrous horse-riding dance moves hypnotizing us with their stupidity. Everyone was talking about the Mayan calendar, convinced that the end of days was near. Superheroes soared on the silver screen, with the Avengers assembling in epic fashion. Katniss Everdeen survived The Hunger Games. And the memes! The memes abounded. Grumpy Cat triumphed. We kept calm and carried on.

In much the same way that automotive enthusiasts love classic cars, we at GolfWRX love taking a backward glance at some of the iconic designs of years past. Heck, we love taking iconic designs to the tee box in the present!

In that spirit, GolfWRX has been running a series inspired by arguably the greatest fighting game franchise of all time: Mortal Kombat. It’s not “choose your fighter” but rather “choose your driver.”

Often harshly critiqued during its years releasing golf equipment (right, Phil Mickelson?), Nike’s tenure in the club-and-ball business gets a gloss of nostalgic varnish, with many of its iron and putter designs continuing to attract admirers. Among the company’s driver offerings, the 2012 VRS — or VR_S, if you will — drew high marks for its shaping and toned-down appearance. The multi-thickness, NexCOR face was no joke either.

With a carbon fiber crown, aerodynamic attention to detail, and variable and hyperbolic face technologies, this club foreshadowed the tech-loaded, “story in every surface” Callaway drivers of the present, AI-informed design age.

Cleveland Classic 310

Truly a design that came out of left field. Cleveland said, “Give me a persimmon driver, but make it titanium…in 460cc.” Our 2012 reviewer, JokerUsn wrote, “I don’t need to elaborate on all the aesthetics of this club. You’ve seen tons of pics. You’ve all probably seen a bunch in the store and held them up close and gotten drool on them. From a playing perspective, the color is not distracting. It’s dark enough to stay unobtrusive in bright sunlight…Even my playing partners, who aren’t into clubs at all…commented on it saying it looks cool.” Long live!

Titleist 910

While there’s no disputing Titleist’s “Titleist Speed” era of drivers perform better than its 2010s offerings, sentimentality abounds, and there was something classically Titleist about these clubs, right down to the alignment aid, and the look is somewhere between 983 times and the present TS age. Representing a resurgence after a disappointing stretch of offerings (907, 909), The 910D2 was a fairly broadly appealing driver with its classic look at address and classic Titleist face shape.

TaylorMade RocketBallz

The white crown. The name. You either loved ‘em or you hated ‘em. TaylorMade’s 2012 offering from its RocketBallz Period boasted speed-enhancing aerodynamics and an Inverted Cone Technology in the club’s titanium face. Technology aside, it’s impossible to overstate what a departure from the norm a white-headed driver was in the world of golf equipment.

Long a quietly assertive player in the driver space, Ping’s i20 was more broadly appealing than the G20, despite being a lower-launch, lower-spin club. Ping drivers didn’t always have looks that golfer’s considered traditional or classic, but the i20 driver bucked that trend. Combining the classic look with Ping’s engineering created a driver that better players really gravitated toward. The i20 offered players lower launch and lower spin for more penetrating ball flight while the rear 20g tungsten weights kept the head stable. Sound and feel were great also, being one of the more muted driver sounds Ping had created up to that time.

Golf club hybrids, hybrid golf club basics.

What is a hybrid club?

What are the advantages of a hybrid club?

Because of their versatile design, hybrids offer two essential elements. One, they can provide precision like an iron. Second, they can give you more distance than an iron, in many ways rivaling that of fairway woods. An example is the Callaway Golf Mavrik Max Hybrid offering both distance and accuracy.

What is one reason some golfers think a hybrid is easier to hit than a standard iron?

Hybrids are built with a more prominent clubface like a fairway wood. This offers more surface area in which to strike the ball during a swing.

How does the design of a hybrid contribute to its performance and versatility?

Hybrids are designed with a similar length, loft and weight of an iron while offering a head and face similar to that of a fairway wood, making the club easier to hit like a fairway wood while offering the loft and control of an iron.

What are some keys to getting the most out of your hybrid during the swing?

Hybrids were designed to be substituted for irons in terms of loft. Therefore, emulate the same swinging motion you would with an iron versus a wood.

What is an example of a situation on the course where a hybrid would be ideal?

When you are on the fairway approaching the green, the distance is not appropriate for a wedge or iron. The power and accuracy of a hybrid are ideal here. Hybrids are also helpful for punching out of tight lies.

What is the cost range of name-brand hybrid clubs?

While the costs vary for different hybrids, many name-brand versions fall between $100 to $300. An example is the Callaway Golf Apex Pro 21 Hybrid which is priced in the high 200s.

What loft options are available for hybrids?

Hybrids offer loft options between 16° and 28° to seamlessly replace long irons, providing versatility and easier ball lift.

How do I determine the correct shaft flex for my hybrid?

Shaft flex should align with your swing speed; a slower swing benefits from a flexible shaft, enhancing distance and accuracy.

Are there specific hybrids recommended for beginners?

For beginners, higher loft hybrids are recommended for their ease of use, aiding in launching the ball higher and landing softer on greens, making them an essential tool in improving game play.

Theatres in Moscow

Cultural life of Moscow city is various and rich! Operas, ballets, symphonic concerts... Russian composers have created some of the most beautiful classical music. Russian classical music is very popular in Moscow. It is performed in many beautiful historical venues. Do not forget to include a visit to a concert hall in your itinerary when you are planning your stay in Moscow! And do it in advance.

There are almost no restrictions on dress code in Russian theatres. Visitors may wear jeans and sports shoes, they may have a backpack with them. Only shorts are not allowed.

A typical feature of Russian theatre – visitors are bringing a lot of flowers which they present to their favorite performers after the show.

Here are some practical advices where to go and how to buy tickets.

The Bolshoi Theatre

The Bolshoi Theatre is the oldest, the most famous and popular opera and ballet theatre in Russia. The word “Bolshoi” means “big” in Russian. You can buy a ticket online in advance, 2-3 months before the date of performance on the official website . Prices for famous ballets are high: 6-8 thousand rubles for a seat in stalls. Tickets to operas are cheaper: you can get a good seat for 4-5 thousand rubles. Tickets are cheaper for daytime performances and performances on the New Stage. The New Stage is situated in the light-green building to the left of the Bolshoi's main building. The quality of operas and ballets shown on the New Stage is excellent too. However, you should pay attention that many seats of the Bolshoi’s Old and New Stages have limited visibility . If you want to see the Bolshoi’s Old Stage but all tickets are sold out, you can order a tour of the theatre. You can book such a tour on the official website.

If you want, following Russian tradition, to give flowers to the performers at the end of the show, in the Bolshoi flowers should be presented via special staff who collects these flowers in advance.

In August the Bolshoi is closed.

The Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Music Theatre

This theatre is noteworthy. On one hand, it offers brilliant classical opera and ballet performances. On the other hand, it is an experimental venue for modern artists. You can check the program and buy tickets online here http://stanmus.com/ . If you are opera lover, get a ticket to see superstar Hibla Gerzmava . The theatre has a very beautiful historic building and a stage with a good view from every seat. Tickets are twice cheaper than in the Bolshoi.

The Novaya Opera

“Novaya” means “New” in Russian. This opera house was founded in 1991 by a famous conductor Eugene Kolobov. Its repertoire has several directions: Russian and Western classics, original shows and divertissements, and operas of the 20th and 21st centuries. It is very popular with Muscovites for excellent quality of performances, a comfortable hall, a beautiful Art Nouveau building and a historic park Hermitage, which is situated right next to it.
