Tour Edge HL4 Iron-Wood Review

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.

In this Tour Edge Hot Launch E521 Iron Woods review, Scott Kramer tests this unorthadox-looking set out on the golf course

Tour Edge Hot Launch E521 Iron Woods Review

Tour Edge is well regarded for its value-driven iron-woods and these are the latest in a long line.

Make no mistake: They’re game-improvement clubs made specifically for slower to mid-swing speeds, just like the Hot Launch E521 driver . Each has a stainless steel, hollow-body clubhead with a super-low-and back CG, shallow and thin cup forged clubface, offset, and extremely lightweight shaft - collectively designed to help get the ball quickly skyward.

Categorized as super game-improvement clubs, these have all the ingredients to help hit long, high and forgiving shots.

For instance, there’s the “Houdini” sole that’s shaped to get balls out of tough lies - reducing turf interaction by 35 percent by moving weight low and deep. Ideally, this leads to fewer skulls and digs.

Next, along with the offset comes heel weighting that adds draw bias: You’ll be hard-pressed to slice shots or frankly even push them right. And of course, the hollow body creates a forgiving and powerful face while making impact feel extra solid.

Some players may not like the bulky look despite the overall performance-friendly shaping. Beware: If you chunk it even slightly, fear the short ball flight that drops quickly from the sky.

But if you nut it the way you’re supposed to, shots are money - high flight with plenty of length. Yet the clubs are intended for golfers who don’t pure shots on a regular basis, which is why the sole aims to help pave the way to cleaner impact.

They’re offered in individual lofts or as a seven-piece set. If you choose the latter, know that they’re available in 3-iron through attack wedge, and you can pick the exact set configuration you want.

The standard graphite shaft is a super-light Mitsubishi Fubuki that either weighs 55 or 60 grams, depending on the flex, with a lower kick point, built to help you generate long shots with a slight draw.

USER REVIEWS

Tired of paying way to much money for the latest and greatest drivers? The Geomax may be the club for you. I hit this club just as good, if not better, than all the pricey big names at the launch monitor and now also at the golf course. Looks great, sounds great, quality grafalloy shaft that gets excellent distance off the tee.

I saw this club with a graphite shaft at Play it again Sports for $9.99. I often find under priced golf goodies there and immediately grabbed this club figuring it would be good for long approach shots from the rough. This is the best $10 I've ever spent, I hit this club 200-210 yards with a slight left to right draw. I was attacking greens that I normally hope to get close to with my Nike 18 degree CPR. This club is so easy and effortless to hit and it can really dig from the rough too. I need to find the #1 (15 degrees? - and #3) I lobve this club.

I have tendonitis in my elbow and needed an iron with a wider sole that wouldn't dig in on fat shots. The Tour Edge Bazooka Jmax Ironwoods fit that bill. I now have the 4-AW and find these clubs very easy to hit and very forgiving. You can sweep them or (as I prefer) take a divot with these. I have gained a club in length and lowered my scores. And, my elbow is a lot happier. These clubs aren't pretty, but they work. They have the face of an iron with a blue blob behind it. IMHO Golf is a game where the ends justify the means. These clubs allow me to play better golf without hurting my elbow. If you can get by the looks and can check your ego at the door, these are worth a look for those who want to try an alternative to traditional irons. Some (as I) may find that hybrids aren't just for replacing your long irons with. I now have a whole bag full of hybrids and my game is a lot better for it.

60 year old golfer here. Been playing golf for over 35 years. Until 5 years ago my handicap was normally 7, even had it down to 5 at one time. I had by-pass surgery about 6 years ago and that is when my iron play began to suffer. Because of the 4 month lay-off I was forced to slow my swing down and then things really began to hit the skids. My handicap eventually went up as high as 14, during that time the iron play was absolutely terrible, just could not seem to make solid contact. Recently I came accross an article that mentioned the Bazooka JMax Iron/Wood and how you could purchase the trial #6 iron/wood from Tour Edge to demo for only $45 with either steel or graphite shaft. So I decided to give it a try. Needless to say these clubs have saved my golf game. I have a tendency to make a decending blow with the irons and these clubs thrive on a decending blow. They go very high a land very softly. I have since purchased the 5-PW in these Iron/Woods and could not be happier with their performance. In the past couple months I have again lowered my handicap to 7 and even shot 75 yesterday. I would recommend these to anyone having difficulty with their iron play and would think tht the senior golfer would particularly benifit from giving them a try. Highly recommend these iron/woods. Brent

Customer Service

Excellent in every way.

Adams i-Wood

I got the clubs about 6 months ago. I have been playing for about 3 years and up until the last month have not had any lessons. My best round was a 90 up to this point. I got these clubs because I tend to hit the ball fat, and I knew that these clubs with the rounded sole would easily glide through the turf. The clubs hit the ball very high and that is what they are designed to do. After getting a few lessons I think the ball is hit too high with these clubs. I think eventually I will replace them with some more traditional clubs, because I am just not comfortable with the ball flight. The clubs definitely hit the ball high. So if you have problems getting the ball airborne these are your clubs.

have not needed them, however you cant beat a lifetime warranty

knight clubs of the rack at sams club, nothing to brag about however my low round of 90 was with those clubs

I bought a 18* model as a 3 wood replacement for use off the tee the fairway and the rough. This club has a very large light and clumsy looking head. Impact feel hollow like the first metal fairway woods. Results were Mixed good swings are rewarded and bad ones punished this club is no more forgiving than a three wood. I find it very hard to set up properly with this club but with a bit of practice its possible to get good results. Overall I feel this is a good replacement for a two iron but a bad alternative to a three or four wood

The new iron woods from Tour Edge (Jmax) are excellent. I can't believe how far and straight I can now hit a 3 and 4 iron. Has taken 9 strokes off my game first outing.

Great - Fast

Ping i3, Taylor Made 300 series, you name it I've bought and hit it....

I bought a #2 ironwood. 18*. These clube are so fun to play with, I can hit controlled shots snywhere from 150- my longest off the tee is 255 right down the middle. On a course I play regularly and always shoot 85-92, I started teeing off on 15 holes there with my I.W. and brought my score down to 81 2 days in a row. IT'S ALWAY RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE!! VERY EASY TO HIT A DRAW.

Great club! Long and straight, bigger head gives much more confidence than a tiny long iron.

Great club, though because of off-set I find you have to set up slightly open to insure you don't hit a ugly hook, but slightly open you get a straight to very slight fade that goes a good 240yrd off the tee 220 off the fairway. Every person who has ever tried this club loved it.

Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood Review

Tour edge exotics cbx iron-wood.

Not an iron.  Not a wood.  An iron-wood.  The new Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood blends the best of both worlds into their new utility club.  Designed to give you the workability and feel of an iron with the performance of a hybrid, the Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood is great for players who don’t get along with a hybrid, but need some help with their longer irons .

The Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood essentially looks like a large-soled player’s iron at first glance.  (If that even makes sense?)  The size of the sole, due to the hollow body design, would lead you to think “game-improvement” club, while the sleek, cavity-less back gives off that muscly look.

In terms of topline, the CBX Iron-Wood does a great job of hiding the large sole, and is still able to give off that “player’s club” topline .  In terms of finish, the CBX Iron-Wood comes in a standard chrome steel finish or the sleek Black Pearl finish pictured in this review.

How Does it Feel?

I’ve hit a lot of driving irons in my day and I’ll be the first to say that they’re not the best feeling clubs when you miss one.  That, coupled with how difficult they can be to hit, is why a lot of people might tend to shy away.  I’ll admit I skeptical heading into this review but I was pleasantly surprised with how great the Tour Edge CBX Iron-Wood feels .

Strikes on the center of the face feel really soft on the hands.  Since the body of the iron is hollow, it’s going to have a similar feel to a well-struck shot with a hybrid.  Mishits, however, are where a club like this typically falls short.  The CBX Iron-Wood, however, does not.  I’m not saying you won’t realize you missed off of the toe in the hands at all, ’cause you definitely will.  However, it’s going to feel a heck of a lot better than missing a forged 3-iron off of the toe.  It’s not quite as forgiving on the hands as a miss with a hybrid , but I’d say it’s in between the two .

How Does it Sound?

Similar to the rest of this review, the sound of the Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood is in between a hybrid and an iron.  I’d say it has a deeper tone closer to a hybrid due to the hollow body, and less like a forged carbon steel iron .  Think a deeper “ting” mixed with a slight “crack.”  If you can’t tell, it’s sort of hard to describe the sound of it, because I honestly feel it’s a very unique club in the market today, and has a much different sound than any driving iron I have hit.

On-Course Performance

Ok, ok, let’s get on to the good stuff.  The meat and potatoes.  How does this club perform?  Well, let me tell you, the Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood is an absolute BEAST.  It’s long.  It’s straight.  It finds fairways.  It’s the best.  Let me elaborate here a bit.

For starters, let’s talk distance.  The Forged L-cup face is the new distance technology for the Exotics CBX Iron-Wood, and essentially, it provides a larger sweet spot that also flexes on impact.  This “flex” is a spring-like effect that explodes the ball off of the face.  I’ve said it before, I’m not one for gimmicks, but I saw big distance gains from the CBX Iron-Wood .  So much so that my 3-iron Iron-Wood is longer than my 2-hybrid off of the tee.  Off of the tee, fairway, or rough, the Exotics CBX Iron-Wood sends out low, penetrating missiles .  This is by design, however, as the stock shaft is the low launching, low spinning HZRDUS Black shaft.  If you need a higher ball flight, you might want to try a different shaft in this club.

Now that we have distance out of the way, let’s jump to accuracy and forgiveness.  The low, penetrating flight puts minimal spin on the ball, minimizing my misses so I can find more fairways.   It’s also definitely more forgiving than a typical driving iron-type club .  Even when I miss the center of the face, I still get plenty of distance.  Again, I attribute this to the L-cup face, as the flexing of the face seems to still spring the ball even if it’s not hit in the sweet spot.  Even with that forgiveness, however, you still can work the ball both ways without issues.

Lastly, the rounded sole with sharp leading edge allows you to play the Exotics CBX Iron-Wood from anywhere .  While I prefer it off of the tee, you won’t have any problems hitting it from the fairway or the rough.  This makes it an excellent replacement for either a hybrid or long iron in your bag .

Final Thoughts – Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood

I don’t think I need to sugar coat this, not that my glaring review won’t already tell you it.  I love the Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood .  So much so that I put one in my bag immediately.  It’s a fairway finder that has solid forgiveness for a driving iron, and it’s LONG.  The perfect combo.  So if you’re like me, and never really get along with hybrids but need some added distance and forgiveness compared to a long iron, you’re going to want to check out the Exotics CBX Iron-Wood.

Hello Tommy. Before asking your opinion on clubs, let me tell you I’m 84 and an avid golfer. 18hdc. Presently I’m hitting Adams IDEA a70s max with Typhoon light flex shaft. I also have Tour Edge Exotic 10 driver, 4 wood and a 3 hybrid, which I love. My Adams are 20 some years old I need to replace them. Love Tour Edge. What do you think I should spend money on of Tour Edge models within reasonable price range? I live in Warrenville, Il. Very close to Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton, where I am a long time members, like 35 years. Thank you for your help. Steve Marko

We have a post coming out in the near future about Tour Edge’s new HL4 club line and their simple fitting process associated with it. The equipment is solid and very affordable. I would 100% recommend checking it out to start. Their Exotics EXS line is also priced very well and of great quality.

Why can’t you make this for lefties

Well, mainly because we don’t make golf clubs.

Tour Edge HL3 Iron Woods Review

Affordability and golf, always and forever two on-again off-again bedfellows. For some reason the thought is perpetuated that you cannot have performance and affordability wrapped into one package, but Tour Edge wants to challenge that with its Hot Launch 3 lineup. Focused on tech and playability that fit the average golfer’s needs at a price point they can grasp, the HL3’s might just disrupt the way we think about this tier of golf clubs from now on.

THP got both the HL3 Iron-Woods as well as the Irons in to put them through their paces, this review will focus on the Iron-Woods in particular.

Tour Edge on the HL3 Iron-Woods:

The Hot Launch HL3 Iron-Wood is available individually or as a complete set.   The newly designed series features increased head volumes for added forgiveness and a redesigned forged face that is thinner for a greater trampoline effect and added distance.   This amazingly easy to hit club is made of a hollow hyper steel body with a thin forged steel face with Variable face thickness technology provides more contact points on the face that provide better off-center hit distance.   Another HL3 ‘TechAdvantage’ is the heavy sole that positions more weight below the ball for higher flying shots.   Experience the increased launch and extreme forgiveness of the HL3 Iron-Wood!   Price: $529.99/$579.99 (7-Piece – Steel/Graphite)

Specifications:

In-Hand Thoughts:

Clearly, with any “Iron-Wood” there is going to be a little more junk in the trunk, and that is definitely the case here. That said, the 6 and 7 which we had in for review are not nearly as wide from front to back as anticipated based on early pictures and information. The overall look from the top down is a mixture of satin (which really helps the quality appearance) and a polished black rear cavity which gives a nice finished look. The color accent for the entire HL3 lineup is yellow, which when overdone can make things look a bit cheap, but Tour Edge used just a splash on the HL3 Iron-Woods and nailed the balance.

The clubs themselves do set up larger behind a ball, but they are hollow body designs so they should. With just the 6 and 7 in hand, the look was smaller than expected, but it would definitely be interesting to see the extremes (2 and PW) since these are offered as a full set as well as individual clubs. There is also decent offset, which is necessary given that launch is a large part of the design here, but it’s nothing that screams “hook me!” like some GI/SGI options. The topline sets up thicker, but it’s a bit more rounded than that of comparable designs like the Altitudes which makes them look much more pleasing and flowing to the eye. They won’t be something everyone wants to look at, but they also won’t make many run away either.

Performance:

The lineups full name is Hot Launch 3, as such, we all know where the emphasis lies. So, do the HL3 Iron-Woods launch? Heck yes they do. When one combines the proprietary graphite UST shafts with more weight low and toward the sole along with some offset, the recipe is for towering shots from the tee and the deck. During review, the HL3 Iron-Woods and Irons both provided easy height based on Foresight GC2 data, height that the average (read: non-internet 300 yard expert) golfer really needs to make the game more enjoyable.

Combine the launch with what quantified as low-mid spin, and the recipe is easy distance for a lot of golfers. The rest of the story here clearly comes back to forgiveness, and in a hollow-body design such as this, mass is manipulated to the extreme perimeter and that means playability. Misses were not covered up by the mass perimeter weighting, but the dispersion improvement seen when the HL3’s were put into the hands of a golfer playing more traditional irons was noticeable by the eye and not just the launch monitor. Also notable, they don’t sound/feel awkward. Yes, they are a little more blurred across the face, but at impact they feel powerful/hot and on par with a lot of “major” offerings out there.

Perhaps the coolest thing for those who benefit from an iron like these, is that they can get an entire set of Iron-Woods. More importantly, it can be done at a staggering price point ($529.99/$579.99) where similar tech out there is literally double that in some cases. Let that sink in.

Parting Thoughts:

Are the HL3 Irons and Iron-Woods as flashy as other options? Well, of course not. But, are they flashy enough at this price point to turn heads? Absolutely.  Something special to note is that Tour Edge prides itself on being “Golf’s Most Solid Investment”, and with the HL3 line they are also utilizing their 48-hour custom-fit delivery. Meaning, you get fit, and within 48 hours your clubs are built and in your hands, nation-wide.  Though the HL3’s may not be for everyone, they offer real performance, and moreover they do it at a price range where there is very little competition. The HL3 line will, and should, turn some heads.

Distance and Accuracy

Forgiveness and Control

Tour Edge golf clubs are designed to provide forgiveness and control to golfers of all skill levels.

It features oversized heads and wide soles that make it easy for junior golfers to get the ball airborne and straight.

Why We Like It

The idea of super-game-improvement-irons started with helping average golfers, but some clubs in this category fail to commit to that goal. Rather than skimping on the help, this iron embraces the concept fully. A revised design led to a wider front-to-back length, a thinner topline and more weight lower inside the hollow clubhead. The offset is aggressive but serves the purpose of scaling back those wicked slices higher-handicappers often battle. The lofts are a little weaker than other Tour Edge irons because this player needs more help getting the ball in the air compared to the extra yards that might come from stronger lofts.

Characteristics

• Aldila Ascent PL (graphite) and True Temper Elevate 95 (steel) are stock shafts.
• The sole has a raised mass area in the rear of the clubhead to reduce drag at impact.
• Combo sets are available for a $100 upcharge (2 hybrids).
• 7-iron: 32 degrees; PW: 44 degrees
• Top 5 softest super-game-improvement irons, high-handicaps

HOT LIST SCORE The overall star rating is based on a club’s total weighted score across our three Hot List criteria. Our judges’ star ratings reflect each club’s score relative to the other clubs in the category.

The aggregate star rating of all three categories rounded to the nearest half star.

Performance

Look / sound / feel, hot list players feedback.

Ratings are based on players’ assessments in three key performance areas.

Ball Flight

Playability.

The sole of this club glides beautifully through the turf. The ball goes high and straight. Strikes feel lively and have a more hollow sound to them through impact.

The black and blue frames the ball nicely, and the ball gets up quickly with a higher trajectory that doesn’t sacrifice distance. The face is receptive, like it catches the ball. Hard to miss with these.

Every shot feels great. This club has a slightly heavier weighting, but it didn’t take long to get adjusted to it. Center strikes feel smooth and fly high.

Why Impact Is Critical to Your Iron Play

Consistent shot shape requires one skill above all others: the ability to make flush contact with the ball. It’s the No. 1 fundamental in golf, and without it, this game can be an eternal mystery. Here, Sean Hogan, one of Golf Digest’s Best Teachers in Florida, helps you improve your impact from tee to green.

CLUB REVIEW: TOUR EDGE E521 IRON/WOOD

by Philip Wall | May 4, 2021 | Reviews | 0 comments

Whilst golf is a challenging game, almost the most challenging game, a lot of the time we, especially newer players, can make the game harder than it needs to be. At its most basic, golf is about up and forward. Up and forward. Not controlled fades or draws. Up and forward.

And we think, with the E521 iron/hybrid/wood/wedge looking thing, this is about as easy as golf gets.

WHAT WE LIKE

+  Easy to get up in the air + Sole design helps get consistent contact +  Great value for money

WHAT WE DON’T LIKE

× Shape won’t be for everyone × Expect forgiveness more than length × Can a club be too easy to hit?

What has it got?

Fundamentally, this is about design more than ground-breaking tech. Don’t expect to see multi-material, maraging face, or some fancy metal with a bunch of numbers.

It is offset to help get your hands squared at impact, and features the “Houdini sole” suggesting it will help you escape from anywhere with its cambered, almost V-sole design. The face is relatively shallow helping deliver a very low CG to help get the ball in the air, and to support that objective has a disturbingly ‘normal’ loft set-up (the 7 iron is 32o. A number of competitors are as low as 29o).

More loft. Low CG. Offset. Up and forward.  

We’ll preface this by saying this is not a club for the purist, or someone who values form over function. It is very offset, on purpose. There is a lot of weight back and deep, with a hybrid appearance, on purpose. And the face is quite shallow, on purpose.

That said, by making the face silver, and the ‘bulge’ dark, it focuses your eye on the face and ball.

These really are little hybrid/metal wood things. There is a definite hollow sound off the face but not as criticism. In fact it reminds you of a well struck shot and if well struck it will fly up and forward.

Performance

Sorry to say it again but up and forward. These couldn’t be easier to hit if they tried. Once you get your head around the look, and realise they should be played as a normal iron, they’re ridiculously easy to hit up and forward, with a nice high, yet consistent, ball flight.

In the hands of two irregular golfers, one got the concept and got away with some mishits. The other, our legendary Director, Davman, hit a few then asked if he could get a set. Up and forward.

Golf is hard enough as it is. To choose a club that is beyond us in ability yet appeals to the eye is a noble yet often misguided decision. If your intention is to make golf as easy as possible, especially with slower swing speeds, then focus on Up and Forward. The Tour Edge E521 will deliver that in spades. Literally (almost).

REVIEW: Tour Edge Exotics CBX Iron-Wood

My two main goals with any hybrid or transition club is consistent distance and accuracy off the tee.  I really need this club to able to hit around 215 on average.  I was very impressed by the distance I was getting the  Tour Edge Exotics CBX iron-wood .  I was consistently on the high end of that yardage.  I was just a little longer off the tee than off the turf, but even that wasn’t drastic.  I also really love it off the tee.  I like having confidence in a club that I can hit a narrow fairway if absolutely necessary and will get enough length on most holes to not have a difficult 2nd shot.  It hits just a touch higher than a typical driving iron, but still lower than a hybrid or fairway wood.

The FlightScope Xi Tour numbers were pretty impressive with the  Tour Edge Exotics CBX iron-wood .  It was truly able to replace a variety of clubs and fill the gap perfectly between my 3-wood and 4-iron.  I did go with the 3 iron-wood which is the 19* version.  It comes stock with a Project X Hazrdus Black shaft at 80grams.  It is a very stable shaft that works great in this club.  The lower spin, with the strong launch made this club very easy to control and hit at targets.  It has just enough spin and launch to still hold greens on long par 3s or approach shots, but low enough that it will run out off the tee.

FlightScope Xi Tour Launch Monitor Tour Edge Exotics Iron-Wood 19*

• Spin: 3571 rpms
• Launch Angle: 16.0*
• Dispersion: 3.0 yds
• Club Head Speed: 96.1 mph
• Ball Speed: 135.1 mph
• Total Distance:  223.5 yds
• Carry Distance:  215.2 yds

The shape and design of the  Tour Edge Exotics CBX iron-wood head is what makes it shine from a variety of lies.  The curved sole allow you to hit into the turf and take a small divot without getting bogged down.  The thinner iron like shape also makes it playable out of the rough.  The thin top line gives you that irons like appearance off the tee, yet the hollow body and cup face really make the ball pop like a hybrid.

Tour Edge Exotics have carved out a nice niche for themselves in the industry with their fairway woods and hybrids.  The CBX iron-wood line is more impressive than I expected.  I’ve been a hybrid guy for years, but this club has won a spot in the bag.  It is so versatile, looks so good and does everything I want from that club between my 3-wood and 4-iron.   Don’t over look this club in a demo session, it is really solid and performs very well on the course.
