Tour Edge Hot Launch C524 Driver
The Tour Edge Hot Launch C524 is an incredible driver that delivers excellent results at a competitive price point which could potentially compete with the best drivers on the market.
Aesthetically, the C524 is a great-looking driver. The ridgeback technology not only provides increased structural integrity to the clubhead—it also frames the ball beautifully with the 'ridge' providing a handy alignment aid. Plus, the carbon effect really creates a premium feel to the finish.
Technology? Let's start with Tour Edge’s Diamond Face VFT technology. This features 35 different diamond shapes that essentially act as “mini-trampolines” behind the face to increase ball speed. a sole rail design extends from the leading to trailing edge which lowers the CG to increase launch and ball speed.
How does it feel? The C524 produced a lively and solid thud with a reasonably high-pitched impact noise. It wasn't too high, but it was noticeably higher Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Family or the TaylorMade Qi10 range.
The combination of solid performance, an excellent aesthetic and a premium make the Tour Edge Hot Launch C524 a great driver at a remarkably modest price. We think there's some serious value here and would therefore recommend it as best drivers for beginners we've tried.

Tour Edge Exotics E723 Driver
The “E” in its name stands for Extreme Spec, meaning it’s designed to help average golfers to the extreme. This ultra-premium 460cc driver is also crammed with technology, such as an extreme low-and-rear CG position that produces an extremely high MOI of 5600 g/cm2 – that’s the highest MOI driver Tour Edge has ever made, making it one of the most forgiving drivers around.
There are also multiple other technological aspects, like a Flight Tuning System and thin titanium ridgeback spine running from the center of the face through the crown which, in testing, produced an easy to flight trajectory, as well as a solid impact sound and long distance.
Along with the performance, the E723 has a very long crown from face to rear, with the graphics of the crown, a black stripe down the middle flanked by a weaved dark graphite pattern, framing the ball nicely. Overall, we thought it was pleasing to the eye, especially as the face seems nice and tall and the clubhead felt rather substantial through our swing.

Tour Edge Exotics C723 Driver
Whereas the E in the E723 stands for Extreme Spec, the C in the C723 stands for Competition Spec, meaning this driver is for more advanced players. Despite this,
out of the box, we found it to be one of the most adjustable player’s drivers on the market, with this low-spin model loaded with tech.
We thought the aesthetics were stealthy and attractive to look at when addressed behind the ball. The darker band down the middle nicely frames the alignment you want to swing through, with the thin titanium ridgeback spine running from the center of the face and crown.
Performance-wise, we found there to be a lot of adjustability options and, when we swapped the standard 5-gram front and 15-gram rear weights, it resulted in a change of around 300rpm of spin. We could also slide the rear CG weight to one of five positions which influenced a fade or draw up to seven yards. On the course, this driver felt extremely solid with respect to feel and impact sound - a box that all the best golf drivers tick.

Tour Edge Exotics E722 Driver
The Tour Edge Exotics E722 driver was designed to offer golfers the ultimate in playability and forgiveness. Keying that performance is a low, deep CG placement that has been made possible by a lightweight carbon fiber crown and a 30-gram fixed weight in the back of the sole. That combination offers incredibly high MOI, which results in more accurate golf shots regardless of strike location.
Do not assume, however, that the E722 driver is a one-trick pony. Certainly, the forgiveness it provides is a standout feature, but this driver also delivers when it comes to ball speed. Tour Edge’s Diamond Face VFT clubface design utilizes 61 diamond-shaped sections that vary in thickness. The diamonds, which Tour Edge says act as mini trampolines, deliver consistent ball speeds from strike locations across the clubface.
Tour Edge also has worked hard to improve the sound and feel of the E722 driver by utilizing an internal ribbing system to diffuse sound at impact. Additionally, while the E722 might be described as a game improvement driver, it also offers the customization that better players want. The E722’s adjustable sleeve features eight settings that allow golfers to adjust loft by +/- 2 degrees and lie angle by 3 degrees to help anyone achieve exactly what they’re looking for in terms of launch, spin, and shot shape.

Tour Edge Exotics E723 Iron
The E723 is an ultra-premium, very sleek-looking, game-improvement iron that is loaded with technology. The most notable aspect of technology is Tour Edge's VIBRCOR – which is a TPU that’s strategically injected into the hollow body, deep 360-degree undercut pocket to provide excellent feel.
In testing, we were extremely impressed with the forgiveness on offer. Regardless of where the ball was struck, the VIBRCOR on the back of the clubhead and the Diamond Face VFT, which comprises 92 diamond shapes of three different thicknesses behind the face, meant it was extremely lively on the expanded sweet spot.
At address, we thought that the look was very confidence-inspiring. Most notably, there’s a slight bulge low and an inviting amount of offset, with a thick topline also giving freedom to swing hard at the ball. In testing, it was super easy to hit and the shots got airborne with distance very well.

Tour Edge Exotics C723 Iron
The C723 also features VIBRCOR technology like we see in the E723, but the C723 is designed for the slightly more confident ball striker, with the most notable differences being the smaller clubhead, thinner top line and shorter blade length.
We found it still had full-face forgiveness and ball speed though, with the Diamond Face VFT also present throughout. Again, in testing, the impact experience was certainly very addictive, with the ball springing off the face with a powerful yet subtle sensation. Importantly, it was not too loud or harsh and we thought it was comparable with the best compact mid-handicap irons.
As mentioned, it is slightly smaller at address, but Tour Edge have constructed the C723 out of high-strength, military grade maraging steel. This helps make way for a significantly thinner face, the thinnest in any Exotics iron ever and also helped dramatically increase face flex across a larger surface area of the clubface. This meant we were able to eke out a lot of distance when struck properly.

How we test Tour Edge golf clubs
Here at Golf Monthly, we employ a rigorous testing procedure when reviewing any product on our website. All of our writers are experienced golfers who know and understand how to use golf equipment and can ably analyze the benefits and drawbacks of any product. Essentially, we look to test gear to help you make the most informed decision when purchasing a set of clubs or a pair of golf shoes. Specifically, when it comes to the best Tour Edge golf clubs, we look to test each club in a variety of conditions on and off the course to give us the best possible insight into what that club offers.
Whether we're testing a driver or a putter, we will look to assess the benefits and features each club offers to understand who it is best suited to. We test each club out on the course too, in order to give us accurate readings on the distance it offers, how much spin we can put on each club and the general feel of the ball against the clubface. One thing to note is that we only use premium golf balls when testing new golf clubs and that manufacturers cannot buy a good review.
What to consider when purchasing Tour Edge golf clubs
When buying any golf club, there are many different aspects to consider before you make your purchase. From the length of the club to the type of grip on offer, it can sometimes be an overwhelming choice, which you need to think carefully about to get the right golf clubs that will help you perform on the course. For that reason, we've set out a handy list of points that will help you make the most informed decision, when purchasing your next set of Tour Edge golf clubs.
Length
No matter what golf club you're buying, you need to get the right length of club for your height and swing. If you buy a club that is too long for you, there is a greater chance that you might hit the ball fat. Too short, and you're more likely to top the ball. For that reason, it is always wise to test each golf club before you buy it, and use our handy height guide to establish which length is right for you.
Type
One great thing about Tour Edge is that they produce clubs for every type of golfer, from professionals right down to beginners. But it is important to make sure you're buying the right club for your abilities. Obviously, it is no good for junior or beginner golfers to be playing with forged irons that have little forgiveness. Cavity-backed irons are much more suitable for these kinds of players as they are a lot more forgiving than forged or bladed irons. For that reason, make sure you pick the right irons that are going to improve your game, not hinder it.
Loft and shaft flex
This pertains mostly to drivers but is also important for your long irons too. Having the right shaft flex on your clubs can seriously help you to strike the ball longer and further. That depends on your swing speed and if you have a low swing speed you're better off using a more flexible club shaft, while faster swingers are better off using a stiffer club shaft. Equally when it comes to driver loft, those with faster swing speeds are better off picking a driver with a lower loft, while slower players should opt for higher lofts to help them flight the ball better.
Mallet or blade?
When it comes to picking the right putter for you, you want to think about how much forgiveness you want to get from your flatstick. Mallet putters offer way more leeway on miss-hit shots than bladed putters, but slightly less feel and control. For that reason, mallets are better for beginner golfers who may be less experienced around the greens.
Budget
Budget is always a big factor you should consider when buying any golf club and our advice is to not always go with the most expensive offering on the market. Yes, if you are an experienced golfer looking to break into single digits, you may want to spend a little extra than someone just starting out in the game to get a top-quality set of clubs. But our advice is to always make a note of your budget before heading to the shop and to shop around as much as you can. That way you can secure yourself the best deal for the right clubs for you.

FAQs
Are Tour Edge golf clubs any good?
Many golf enthusiasts might not know that Tour Edge has been around since 1986, and the company has been making excellent golf clubs for quite some time. Tour Edge first gained acclaim for its fairway wood products, which have had a loyal following for decades now. But it also made an early splash in the hybrid market as those clubs became more popular, and in recent years its drivers and irons have started to enjoy more mainstream popularity. Tour Edge also has become increasingly successful in recent years because it develops golf equipment to meet the needs of players of all ability levels and its products always offer tremendous value at their price points
Do any PGA players use Tour Edge clubs?
Tour Edge has a strong and growing presence in professional golf, especially on the PGA Tour Champions, where players such as Bernhard Langer, Scott McCarron, Tom Lehman, Alex Cjeka, and Mike Weir are brand ambassadors. In all, Tour Edge reports that its clubs have been put in play by 135 different players on the three PGA Tours since 2018, with its clubs being a part of 16 victories and more than 90 top-5 finishes during that span. As for which Tour Edge clubs get the most play on Tour, the company’s fairway woods would garner that distinction. But its driver and irons are growing in popularity as well.
Is it better to buy a set of clubs or buy them individually?
This depends on what you want from your golf equipment. Beginner golfers and those getting into the game may be better off buying a set of golf clubs to get a full range of golf clubs for good value. But those who may be more experienced in the game may want to mix and match clubs and use a selection of golf clubs from different manufacturers.
