Tour Edge launches new Hot Launch Max and Max D drivers, fairway metals, and hybrids

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf today introduced the Hot Launch Max and Max D drivers, fairway metals, and hybrids, engineered to help game-improvement golfers achieve better long-game performance with higher launch, increased distance, and built-in forgiveness.

While the Max line is engineered for golfers seeking distance and accuracy in a more traditional setup, the Max D metalwood designs feature draw-biased weighting and offset technology to help square the clubface at impact, in design to promote a straighter, more controlled ball flight.

“Game-improvement golfers deserve uncompromising performance and quality as part of their path to improvement, and Hot Launch Max delivers. The long game is where golfers lose the most confidence when the ball isn’t staying in play. Hot Launch Max metalwoods are designed to bring stability and predictability back to those shots, so golfers can swing freely and trust the result.” – David Glod, Founder and CEO of Tour Edge

The Hot Launch Max and Max D drivers, fairways, and hybrids share a suite of technologies designed to maximize forgiveness and distance. 

Each club features a strategically positioned rear weight that moves mass to the back perimeter of the clubhead, increasing MOI in design for greater stability on off-center strikes. A newly engineered V-Taper Sole aims to further enhance forgiveness and launch by tapering toward the rear perimeter, shifting weight outward.

Completing the technology package is Diamond Face VFT, which precisely optimizes face deflection and energy transfer in design to deliver consistently high ball speeds across the face.

Hot Launch Max Driver: The traditionally-shaped Hot Launch Max Driver features an advanced 360° Cup Face construction and a larger face. This is designed to offer a more penetrating trajectory than the Max D.

Available Lofts: Right-Handed: 9°, 10.5°, 12°

Hot Launch Max D Driver: An offset hosel and face angle, combined with internal heel weighting, make it easier to square the face at impact in design to promote a straighter, more controlled ball flight.

Available Lofts: Right-Handed: 10.5°, 12°, HL/15° | Left-Handed: 10.5°

Hot Launch Max Fairway Metal: A traditional profile bids to promote confident alignment and precise shot shaping while maintaining maximum forgiveness and distance.

Available Lofts: Right-Handed: 15° 3-wood, 19° 5-wood, 22° 7-wood 

Hot Launch Max D Fairway Metal: An ultra-shallow face paired with a low, deep CG aims to deliver effortless launch, optimized spin, and forgiveness from the fairway, rough, or tee.

Available Lofts: Right-Handed: 16° 3-wood, 20° 5-wood, 23° 7-wood, 25° 9-wood, 27° 11-wood | Left-Handed: 16° 3-wood, 20° 5-wood, 23° 7-wood

Hot Launch Max Hybrid: A larger face increases vertical gear effect in design for optimal launch and spin, delivering a penetrating yet forgiving flight from anywhere on the course.

Available Lofts: Right-Handed: 3/19°, 4/22°, 5/25°

Hot Launch Max D Hybrid: Offset hosel geometry and internal heel weighting are precisely tuned to help square the face through impact for repeatable accuracy.

Available Lofts: Right-Handed & Left-Handed: 3/19°, 4/22°, 5/25°, 6/28°

“Not every golfer wants to manipulate ball flight or chase ultra-low spin. Hot Launch Max is for players who want simple, repeatable launch and performance that makes the game more enjoyable from the tee through the fairway.” – David Glod, Founder and CEO of Tour Edge

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
