Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 Fairway Wood Review

Tour edge hot launch e522 fairway wood.

Tour Edge set out to design the “easiest fairway wood you’ll ever hit.” The final product is the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 fairway wood. Following my testing, it’s a pretty tough claim to argue with and great for any player looking for extreme “game improvement” (GI). If easy launch, anti-slice sounds like what you need in a fairway wood, this review is for you.

The first thing I want you to remember with the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 fairway wood is that it’s an extreme GI golf club. This means it’s for the players looking for every bit of forgiveness and help they can get from the golf club. As such, you should be expecting to be signing up for some offset. The offset is definitely noticeable, but is by no means offensive or difficult to look down at behind the ball. The head itself has a rounder profile, but is far from oversize.

While definitely intended for the extreme game improvement crowd, it really is a playable look for anyone seeking the performance benefits that the Hot Launch E522 fairway wood provides. Like I’ve said in the other HL 522 reviews, the overall aesthetic in this series is much more refined giving the clubs a more premium look .

How Does it Feel?

Tour Edge introduced their Diamond Face 2.0 technology to the Hot Launch lineup. There are 42 diamond shapes of varying sizes behind the face that act as mini trampolines. Working in tandem with the Diamond Face is the 360º Cup Face, which allows the whole face to flex more at impact creating more “jump”. Overall, the E522 fairway wood’s face is generous with a lot of pop and precise response .

Additionally, the E522 fairway wood has a super low and deep center of gravity (CG) courtesy of the Houdini Sole (more on that later). This basically means the club’s balance point is in the sole of club toward the trailing edge. I found this CG location made the HL E522 feel exceptionally well balanced and easy to control through the hitting zone. That led to me having more confidence over the ball and feeling in control of every shot.

Houdini Sole also impacts turf interaction quite a bit. The Houdini Sole reduces friction with the ground so the club cuts through the turf cleaner allowing for more club face to make contact with the ball. This also helps with more ball speed and better feedback at impact as it reduces drag through the grass.

How Does it Sound?

I would describe the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 fairway wood’s sound as firm and direct with a metallic tone to it. The generous Diamond Face maintains this tone across most of the surface. It’s a sort of “pop” mixed with a good “whack”. As you approach the extreme ends or super low on the face, the tone becomes a bit more metallic and slightly more rigid as should be expected with extreme mishits.

On-Course Performance

Like its predecessor , the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 is extremely easy to launch courtesy of the Houdini Sole. This also adds more spin to the shot to help keep the ball in the air for greater carry distance. While better players may be looking for more piercing launches and less spin, the player that the E522 fairway wood is geared toward needs all the help they can get with launching the ball and holding it in the air.

The same player is likely looking for all the help they can get fighting a slice and hitting it straight. Well, slicers rejoice! Tour Edge combined elements such as built in offset and a heel weighting to to address this miss. This design helps square the face at impact so your shot will be straighter and take the right side of the course out of play . Admittedly, I am not the target audience for this club, but the HL E522 fairway wood is about as anti-right as I’ve ever seen .

Final Thoughts – Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 Fairway Wood

The Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 is about as easy to hit as it gets with a fairway wood. I said it last year, and I’ll say it again… the Hot Launch E series is an absolute cheat code. Just swing away and let the club do the work! Shot after shot resulted in a towering draw whether my swing deserved it or not. In my opinion, the HL E522 fairway wood is a great option for the beginner that will gladly accept all the help they can get. That said, it’s also a great option for veteran players that slice their fairway woods or struggle to get them carrying in the air. The forgiveness is nothing short of impressive and the $160 price tag makes the Hot Launch E522 fairway wood quite accessible to a wide range of golfers.

108 club head speed ? That is really fast. The average on tour is 107. I’m guessing most handicaps between 3-10 are swinging 85-95 mph. You are crushing it. I’m going to hit this club at my local golf store. I’m a 7 handicap and don’t carry a three wood because I’ve never been able to hit one as good as I want too. But I’ll give this club a try. Thanks.

Does tour edge make a 9.5 degree 522 offset driver?

Yes, you can find both Hot Launch 522 driver reviews on our site!

I play Tour Edge E722 Exotics Driver, 3 wood, 5 wood, 3 hybrid. Traded in my Mizuno ST-Z woods. Dropped 5 strokes with the Tour Edge.

Why not get reviews from people that need game improvement I e people that swing in the 80″s Analysis from someone swing 108. Is of no value

1) I disagree that it’s no value. The benefits of this club do not purely equate to club speed. It’s about forgiveness, ease of launch, and anti-right. We can still commentate on the club’s ability to do those things. 2) I’m not sure what expectation are in people available to test, write, and provide insight necessary on our schedules to produce content. We have a lot to do at any given time, and when necessary or available, we will try to work with other resources. That said, I still don’t think we are unable to provide the insight people are seeking for this club.

Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 Offset Fairway Wood

The Extreme Game Improvement Hot Launch E522 Fairway Metal offers the game-changing Houdini Sole in conjunction with a super-shallow face, a slice-fighting offset design and heel weighting for added draw bias. The 17-4 stainless-steel fairway features a thinner and lighter forged steel crown that increases ball speed for the increased power creation and the ultimate in ease of use.

Houdini Sole Technology

The Houdini Sole is an emerging sole design innovation that pushes weight back as much as possible for an ultra-low and deep CG, optimizing launch conditions and greatly improving forgiveness off the face. The Houdini Sole design element has proven to be one of the most effective technologies at getting balls out of tough lies by reducing turf interaction by 35%.

Diamond Face 2.0 / Cup Face Technology

The Hot Launch E522 Fairway features Diamond Face 2.0 technology with 42 different thick and thin diamond shapes behind the face of the metals for an enhanced sweet spot. Different variables of thick and thin diamond shapes or “mini-trampolines” behind the face combine with a Cup Face construction to produce greater face flex, faster ball speeds and better performance on off-center hits.

Heel Weighted/Slice Fighting Offset/Shallow Face Designs

The super-shallow face design in the E522 Fairway Metal produces higher launch angles and extreme ease of launch. The strategically placed heel draw-bias weight of the E range offset designs was engineered to help golfers avoid hitting slices.

Control Length Shafts

Control Length Shafts Technology is optimized shorter shaft lengths that were designed specifically for the E522 Fairway Metal to greatly improve accuracy, control and to offer maxed out Smash Factor ratings for the club head. The Control Length shaft system leads to more players hitting the center of the clubface.

Premium Mitsubishi Fubuki HL Shaft

The E522 Fairway Metal comes stock with super-light FUBUKI HL graphite shafts by Mitsubishi that range from 45-grams to 55-grams depending on the flex.

What is loft.

Loft affects trajectory and spin rate and therefor it determines the distance the ball will travel. More loft typically generates a higher trajectory and more spin while lower loft causes the ball to fly lower and spin less.

Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 Irons Review

More in reviews:.

50 Words or Less

The Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 irons offer high end forgiveness at a bargain basement price.  Ideal for the new golfer or anyone seeking more high, straight shots.

Check out the new Tour Edge Hot Launch E523 irons HERE

Introduction

Some golfers believe that the joy of the game is in the struggle.  If that describes you, you’re probably going to want to stop reading.  However, if you’re the kind of golfer who wants to hit more high, pretty shots, read on to learn how the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 irons can help.

I tested the Hot Launch E522 irons alongside the C522 irons [full review HERE ], and the first thing I noticed was that the top line of the E522 is actually a bit thinner than that of the C522 in the short irons.  However, as you move into the long irons, the topline gets wider.  Overall I would regard the top line as medium-thick .  Both irons have a substantial amount of offset .

The big difference between the two set is that the E522 is a larger, hollow body hybrid-iron .  In the higher lofted clubs, the black part that sticks out beyond the top line is very well hidden.  In the long irons, that “extra” really stands out.  Obviously traditionalists are not going to vibe with this design, but players that find confidence in a larger profile will love it.

Finally, each iron in the Hot Launch E522 set comes with a sock-style headcover , as shown above.  While they are technically iron covers, I think they’re a lot better looking than the black neoprene thing that most of us think of when we hear that term.

Sound & Feel

The large, hollow body of the Hot Launch E522 irons produces an impact sound that’s fairly loud and medium-high pitched .  Impact gets a little louder in the long irons with good strikes sounding like gunshots.  That sound is accompanied by a feel that is fairly fast but not springy .

For a head this large, I was surprised by how precisely I was able to feel the impact location.  The sound didn’t change dramatically from pure shots to mishits, but my hands told the truth about strike quality.

Performance

Tour Edge designed the Hot Launch E522 irons with ease of play as the number one goal.  To that end, they used a shallow face design and their Houdini Sole to create a super low center of gravity so that every shot gets airborne .  If you struggle to elevate the ball, these irons are going to be a godsend.

The other thing that makes these irons so much fun to play is the forgiveness.  The large, hollow body allows for extreme perimeter weighting and tremendous stability.  That means that the ball speed, launch angle, and spin rates barely change from shot to shot.  These are some of the most consistent irons I’ve ever tested .

One thing that should be noted is that the lofts of the E522 irons are much weaker than those of the C522 .  This helps with getting the ball airborne and may create longer carry distances for some players in the long irons.  However, if you’re testing the two irons side by side, don’t be surprised if the C522 is longer, particularly in the short and mid irons.

Finally, Tour Edge offers the Hot Launch E522 with two stock shaft options .  If you want steel, there’s the KBS Max 80, a fairly light weight option.  For players seeking to cut even more weight, the graphite option is the Mitsubishi Fubuki HL.  Depending on the flex, this shaft weighs between 50 and 60 grams.

For the new golfer or those who simply want to get on the course and hit some high, straight shots, I can’t recommend the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 irons enough.  These irons are fun and easy to hit and extremely consistent.  Add in the fantastic value, and you have an all-around winner.

Hi Matt – any significant difference between the E522s and the previous gen E521 irons? They look very similar to me. Almost exactly the same.

I didn’t get to review the E521, so I can’t speak to the differences.

Hi i think the c522s would be my pick if choosen as i am very new to this game that i can not get away from maybe it help me with my worm burners that im prone to hit. When playing my horrible brother inlaw for getting me started in this new hobby. Lol thanks

This is the first review I’ve seen of these and I’ve been waiting for one. Thank you, good read.

I see in this article that these irons come with covers. I bought a set at the PGA store and they didn’t give me a set of covers.

These are a pretty good looking set of irons. Thanks for the review!

I am excited to see in person.

I’ve been hitting the E- 522 Irons for nine months, 5 thru P.W. W ith Graft . Shafts.I have gain 15 to 25 yards depending on the Iron. Absolutely love them. They say they will launch high & THEY DO.

Saw them in shop for the first time last night. They looked a little less bulky than previous versions to my eye. I’m not sure if they did slim them down or if using black makes them look slimmer, but the 6i I was holding at address didn’t look like it had as much junk in the trunk.

Pretty good looking. Might grab a set for my dad. Could definitely use the help getting it airborne.

Interested in the E522 after reading the review.

A great club for sure! I need these at 60. They do everything well.

I like the E522’s

Nice looking. They look like the type of clubs that would help me make better contact. Would look pretty sharp in my bag too!

luv to try them

I think the E522 would be a perfect addition as I still struggle getting the loft I need especially as I get closer to the green! Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the review Matt. Looks like my kind of irons that will go well with my Exotics woods and hybrid already in the bag.

Would like to try game improvement clubs.

I’ve had my eyes on these clubs for awhile now. These would definitely help improve my game!

Consistency and forgiveness? I’m in!

Might be just what this senior player needs to get back on track. Shots are getting shorter, handicap is going up, golf hasn’t been as much fun. E522 s May be the way to go!

As an older golfer whose short game is still pretty good, my main concern is distance. I hit the ball pretty straight but distance is my main concern. I like traditional iron shapes . Which model would you suggest?

I have been using Taylormade RBZ irons with Steel Fiber i70 shafts.

I love my Tour Edge Extreme driver. Maybe time to try the E522 irons.

If the short and mid irons are longer in the c522 irons even though weaker lofted, I would opt for the C522. We play a lot of elevated greens and the extra height will definitely be a plus!

These look like the exact clubs to help me improve ( mind you i dont have any clubs just now)

Would like the C522 irons*

Beautiful clubs! After reviewing both, I feel the E522 would be a great fit for me.

E522 FOR ME!

I would like a set of these please

I need these.

I’m in my 50’s and am fortunate enough to still play with my father. If the E522s make it more fun to play, I’m in. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the great reviews. Always love seeing them in my inbox.*

At 77 years old my iron game is not too good. Woods are great and short game is good. Just can’t hit an iron period! Love to have the E 521 ironwoods.

Been looking at hybrid irons lately. I think I would choose this E522 set instead of the C522 set.

As a 75 year old with a 10 handicap I’m beginning to feel the need for more forgiveness in my iron shots. The E522 irons look like they are the type of clubs I should be using. Have them on my to buy list at present but would love to receive a set to try out and then recommend to friends.*

Hot launch irons please

I would go for the E522 set

Getting a little long in the tooth. Would like to try E522. Keep up the good work, I always enjoy reading your reviews. Especially with a foot of snow out there.

Would love to try the Tour Edge Hot Launch E22…High, straight and long are what I am looking for in a set of new irons…

E522, could possibility fit my game! I’m older golfer, I’m needing club that offers forgiveness and added distance. Would love to give set a try.

The Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 irons for me please.

I think the E522 would be a better fit for me. Would love to try!*

The E522 irons look like they would be perfect for a new player. A lady friend of mine is taking her first lessons soon, and these would be wonderful for her!

Would love a set of the e522 irons!

I purchased the E522 driver and love it. The ball goes straight and far. I own a 2018 Hot Launch Tour Edge clubs but the new E irons would really complete the older set to a newer one. Other golfers ask me what I’m hitting when they hear that driver work off the tee!!

The c522’s look great. Like the distance aspect and consistency. I would choose the c522 irons over the e522

Would love the c522. Am a 12 handicap and ready to enhance my game while realizing I’m still an amateur. This was on my list, so thanks!!

I’m thinking the E522 irons are better suited to my game…. send them along!

The E522 irons (regular graphite shaft) would interest me. I currently play an older set of graphite-shafted Adams with the 4, 5 & 6 irons being hybrids and I find them very easy to hit. The E522 looks similar and, as I purchased a Tour Exotics driver almost three years ago and am extremely pleased with it, a full set of Tour Exotics would really be appreciated. (I bought the driver based on your review and one of my playing partners bought a full set of Tour Exotics after trying my driver.)

I struggle to hit traditional irons. I have a largely hybrid set of clubs. This seems like something that could help my game. Love the innovation, and judging by the comments in this thread, they perform. Hope I win!

I’d love to put these in my bag!

The E522 have a hybrid look that I like.*

E522 are my choice; good review!

Definitely Interested in this set. Any help I can get with mishits would be a godsend!*

As an older golfer, I have trouble getting the ball airborne and the E522 would be the solution, as well as the forgiveness that these irons would provide. Would love to be the recipient of these great looking sticks.

Although I am far from a novice golfer from what I reading in the reviews and how I honestly assess where my game is at I think E522’s might be more suitable for me at this time.*

Very interesting looking set of irons and the sock-covers are intriguing…don’t believe I could get used to the look. Please consider outfitting my bag this year with a set of C522 irons. I already pack Tour Edge Exotic fairways…Thanks..

80 yrs young. would like to move to new technology as my irons are almost as old as me!*

Interesting review as an older golfer hybrid clubs should be the best for myself.

I would love to consistently hit my irons in the air, I usually hit them so the ball rolls down the fairway. Very frustrating. I go to the range 2-3 times a week & play 2 rounds per week & I still suck. I love the game & wont stop playing. These clubs seem to be the answer I’ve been looking for. Hope they work as described.

My sister does not like irons so these look like they would be a great for her.

Good review of C522 and E522!

I think these irons could even help lower handicap players. Straight and high launching is nice for everyone. I will play with anything that makes the game for fun and I’d love to try them.

If you’re an older golfer, get real. I mean, who are we kidding? Hybrids rule. Advance it out of the rough. From the fairway, high and straight. From around the green, you could chip with any of them and get it close. Thank you.

For an older golfer, these would be ideal in graphite shafts. This is a great review of those clubs. Would love to get fitted for them and get a set.*

Looking to try out an all hybrid set. These look great.

Wow, the C522 sounds like it would help me greatly with my game. The C522 with graphite shafts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the consideration.

would like the C522’s

The E522 appeal to me.*

Would love to have these E522’s in my bag!

Great review, as always. As I’m losing speed and getting older, I’d love a set of these.

C522 with Mitsubishi shafts will do the trick. Love to try them. I need the help.

as a LEFT HANDED 65 year old who has played for a year and a half with mostly hybrids, i see the E522 regular /graphite shaft resembles clubs i could learn to use. I just broke 100 with a 93 score last week, playing three times a week, and the E522 clubs would enhance my game.

I would like the E522 set.

these look like irons that can only help the way the game is played!

I’d like a set of the E522 irons. Tour edge has always tried to make the game enjoyable for the average golfer.

The c522 graphite shaft should be the set for me. I need a game changing set. Let this be the it.

It would be great to have the E522’s in my bag.

I would luv the E522 set!

I definitely would prefer the E522 set. It much better suits my game. I currently play a Tour Edge driver and also have several of their fairways woods and hybrids. They have always performed well for me..

would love to play the 2022 season with the E522 irons!

My ball flight is not as high as I would like so this design with graphite shafts would definitely help. Hitting shots more consistently is a great benefit as well.

Hi, Enjoyed the reviews of the latest irons from Tour Edge. I’m in the market for new clubs and will seek an opportunity to test drive both models. I think the E522 iron set may be the correct set for me to help launch shots higher and longer. Thanks for the thorough reviews.

I would love to try these!

I did a test drive on the E522 a few week ago at Morton Golf @ Haggin Oaks Golf. Very impressed, realistic about my handicap index, these clubs are the Game Improvement I need!! Thank you.

They look good and i will be trying them out to see if they will help with my iron play

E522 steel….left handed. Probably not in the cards. Southpaws should be entitled to nice things also and these are gorgeous!

great clubs I already have a couple of the hybrid type plus a hybrid sand wedge just love this one

would love e522 thank you

Those E522s look great. A set of these would be a fantastic addition! I like the look of the C522s, too. I just began golfing last season. Based on the loft differences, do you think the C522 might require an extra wedge or the E522 would need an additional long club?

As an older guy with a very bad back I think these would be a really good style of club for me. I’d very much like to win these.

Not a fan of hybrids and run with a 4wood and 7 wood. Thinking this could be a good 4 iron/5 hybrid after my 7 wood. What do you think? More iron like.

I’ve never had a really good new set of irons. These look like they would be great.

The E522 seems like a better choice for a more casual golfer like myself.

Few years ago I was shooting under par every course and back problems. These clubs get the ball up and are forgiving and right spin and displacement (accurate). I look at the club face not what’s behind it. This company is on the right track and cant endorse them enough.

Also…I can draw or fade these at will. Started using them after I got back problems. And they are at a decent price too. Very impressed guys !!!!

Would these be comparable to the Cleveland Halo XL hybrids? THX

Yes, they’re in the same category.

I recently purchased the Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 iron/woods with steel shaft and was wondering what the swing weight was on these. I prefer a heavier head weight (D2 at least) and these clubs feel a little lighter. I cannot find anything on the Tour Edge website that can answer this question so any help would be appreciated.

I would suggest taking your clubs to a builder to have them measured and adjusted if you don’t like the feel.

Tour Edge Hot Launch E522 Iron-Wood (Left Hand)

Description.

The E522 Iron offers the game-changing Houdini Sole in conjunction with a super-shallow face, slice-fighting offset designs and heel weighting for added draw bias. 

These amped-up iron-wood designs put a major emphasis on ease of launch, playability and correcting miss-hits and slices to go straighter for the ultimate in ease of use.

Houdini Sole Technology –  The raised steel mass area of the Houdini Sole at the rear of the clubhead  reduces the amount of sole area to  reduce drag and turf interaction. 

The Houdini Sole design element has proven to be one of the most effective technologies at getting balls out of tough lies by reducing turf interaction by 35%. 

Hollow-Body Design-  Hollow-body perimeter weighting produces distance properties of a metalwood in an iron design for maximum ball speed. The hollow-body design makes for an extremely low and back Center of Gravity, helping to create a very forgiving and powerful face. 

Shallow Cup Forged Face   -   The super-shallow Cup Face design in the Hot Launch E522 Iron produces higher launch angles and extreme ease of launch. This super-thin forged face design produces the pinnacle of extreme ease of launch, increased apex heights, hang time and distance. 

Slice-Fighting Offset Design –   The offset design of the E522 Iron works in conjunction with the heel weight in the clubhead to help players avoid hitting slices  and to increase launch conditions.

Premium Mitsubishi Fubuki HL and KBS MAX 80 Shafts -   The E Series iron-wood comes stock with a FUBUKI HL graphite shaft by Mitsubishi that ranges from 50-grams to 60-grams depending on the flex. It is also available in a KBS MAX 80 steel shaft.

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.
