Tour Edge Unveils Hot Launch Max Drivers, Fairways, and Hybrids to Help Game-Improvement Golfers Break Through in the Long Game

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

The Hot Launch Max metalwoods focus on making long shots easier and more consistent. Strategic weight distribution, flexible face technology, and ultra-light shaft options work together to promote faster swing speeds, higher launch, and improved stability on off-center strikes.

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, promoting a straighter, more controlled ball flight.

The Hot Launch Max drivers, fairway metals, and hybrids are available for pre-order starting today and will be available at retail worldwide on February 27. Golfers can get custom fit at preferred Tour Edge dealers and take advantage of 48-hour expedited shipping on custom orders within the continental United States.

Hot Launch Max and Max D Metals: Break Through to a Better Long Game

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 for greater stability on off-center strikes. A newly engineered V-Taper Sole further enhances 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 to deliver consistently explosive 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 guarantees 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 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 promotes 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 delivers 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 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°

High-Performance Shaft Options

Each club in the Hot Launch Max Series is equipped with an ultra-light ALDILA Ascent graphite shaft, engineered to increase clubhead speed while maintaining stability and feel. Shaft weights range from 45–55 grams in the metals, promoting faster swing speeds and added distance.

Tour Edge Golf today introduced the Hot Launch Max and Max D irons and wedges, engineered to help game-improvement golfers break through to more consistent ball striking and greater confidence around the greens by providing easy launch, maximum forgiveness.

The Hot Launch Max iron and wedge lineup is designed around optimized weighting and forgiveness, promoting higher launch and more consistent contact that naturally translates to added distance.

Hot Launch Max Irons: Break Through to Better Ball Striking.

  • Hot Launch Max D Iron: A hollow-body design redistributes mass to the perimeter, maximizing MOI for added stability, higher launch, and faster ball speeds across the face. Available Lofts: Right-Handed & Left-Handed: 4/23°, 5/26°, 6/29°, 7/32°, 8/36°, 9/40°, P/43°, A/49°

Each club in the Hot Launch Max Series is equipped with an ultra-light ALDILA Ascent graphite shaft, engineered to increase clubhead speed while maintaining stability and feel. Shaft weights rang 50–60 grams in the irons and wedges, promoting faster swing speeds and added distance. The KBS Max MT85 steel shaft is available, delivering added distance through faster swing speeds, increased power, and a high-launch, high-spin ball flight for enhanced carry.
