Tour Edge has today announced its Hot Launch X525 and E525 series of drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons and wedges.

Available at retail starting March 1, the Hot Launch 525 Series introduces the X-range for the first time in the brand’s best-selling Hot Launch family.

The Hot Launch 525 Series consists of two distinct ranges: the X-range and the E-range, each designed to meet specific player needs through advanced driver, fairway, hybrid, iron, and wedge designs.

• X-range: Super-Game-Improvement clubs with anti-slice offset designs and extremely low CG positions, featuring ultra-shallow faces that promote easy launch and consistent playability.
• E-range: Premium Game-Improvement clubs inspired by Exotics technology, offering class-leading MOI and enhanced forgiveness, power, and accuracy.

“This marks a new era for Hot Launch, with our best-feeling and best-looking performance-enhancement clubs we’ve ever produced. The X-range offers golfers a new ‘X-factor’ to boost their game with cutting-edge SGI innovations, while the E-range is the highest-level of GI with a perfect balance of distance and forgiveness in more traditional shapes.” – David Glod, Founder and CEO of Tour Edge

Hot Launch X525 Driver  

Key Features:

• Anti-slice offset design: The offset design of the X525 Driver allows the face to square up at impact for a straighter ball flight. The strategically placed heel draw-bias weighting of the X Series is engineered to help golfers avoid the right side of the course and to increase launch.
• Heel-weighted anti-slice design: The X525’s heel sole weighting system includes a 10-gram back weight, and a sole rail concentrated entirely on the heel side of the clubhead to provide the ultimate in anti-slice technology. 
• High MOI stability: Weighting is strategically placed at the extreme trailing edge of the clubhead. This back weighting creates an extremely high MOI rating that surpasses 5,000 g-cm2 for top in-line stability.
• Ridgeback Technology: This popular Exotics technology is now featured in every 525 metal. Ridgeback technology uses a rail on the crown to boost structural integrity and produce more power across the entire face. This rail also serves as a unique alignment aid.
• Diamond Face VFT: Diamond Face VFT technology features 37 distinct thick and thin diamond-shaped “mini-trampolines” behind the face, enhancing ball speed, off-center hit performance, and reducing spin for straighter shots. 
• Ultra-light premium shaft: The UST Mamiya Helium shaft with Nanocore Technology enhances speed and feel, providing a consistent and precise performance.

Hot Launch X525 Iron

Key features:

• Hollow-body perimeter weighting: Hollow-body perimeter weighting produces the distance properties of a metalwood in an ironlike design. Hollow-body perimeter weighting produces maximum ball speed off an iron coupled with an extremely low and back CG, which creates a very forgiving and powerful face.
• Anti-slice offset design: X525’s offset design provides the ultimate in slice fighting technology, allowing the face to square up at impact for a straighter ball flight. 
• Houdini sole technology: The patented Houdini Sole technology is an area of mass strategically placed on the trailing edge of the sole of the clubhead, as well as a curved leading edge under the face. Tour Edge engineers have precisely positioned extra weight in the clubhead to create an ultra-low lower Center of Gravity that greatly improves stability.
• Ultra-shalow face design: The ultra-shallow face is designed for maximum playability and high-flying launch characteristics, producing higher launch angles and optimal launch with extreme forgiveness.

Hot Launch E525 Iron

Key Features:

• VIBRCOR technology: The proprietary VIBRCOR high-grade TPU is strategically placed in the deep undercut pocket to create a speed-inducing and feel-enhancing internal technology that creates a distinct feel of the clubhead at impact that dampens sound and shock at impact.
• Wide sole/deep undercut design: The wide sole of the E525 offers superior bounce and increased launch for cleaner, high-flying shots. The wide sole design deflects turf interaction for more consistent shot making. The 360° undercut cavity creates more face flexing and faster ball speed across the entire face.
• Advanced toe weighting: Advanced toe weighting is strategically increased and made more visible in the new E525 Iron design. The added toe weighting maximizes stability on impact and provides better distance on off-center hits. This design elongates the sweet spot and creates a pure feel off the face of the irons.
• Power lofted: The lower and deeper CG allows the E525 Irons to be power-lofted to create an extreme distance iron. Power-lofting in this forgiving iron design promotes both maximized distance and optimized height without sacrificing the peak apex trajectory.
• Ultra-light premium shaft: The UST Mamiya Helium shaft with Nanocore Technology enhances speed and feel, providing consistent and precise performance. The True Temper Elevate MPH 95 steel shaft is also available in the 525 irons and wedges for maximum launch and carry distance.

• Maximum allowed CNC milled grooves: The E525 Wedge features computer-milled CNC grooves that are carved to the maximum depths allowed by the USGA. This provides perfect control and spin around the greens for every level of golfer from pro to beginner.
• High-toe pad design: Extra weight is strategically placed in the toe portion of the face. The added weight in the upper toe of the face expands the sweet spot vertically so shots struck higher on the face maintain exceptional control and feel.
• Beveled leading edge & rounded camber sole: The beveled leading edge creates an exceptionally versatile design for every type of wedge shot resulting in reduced digging through impact. Golfers who swing more steeply will benefit from the rounded camber in the sole of the E525 wedge.
• Ultra-light premium shaft: The UST Mamiya Helium shaft with Nanocore Technology enhances speed and feel, providing consistent and precise performance. The True Temper Elevate MPH 95 steel shaft is also available in the 525 irons and wedges for maximum launch and carry distance.
