Wanting to purchase some new Irons,Considering Tour Edge Hot Launch,anyone have any feedback on these clubs?

Are you thinking about the C series or the E series? 

I've been known to put an E series 6 iron and 5 iron in my bag on occasion when I'm not hitting the ball work a pile of spit. 

The C series is almost as much help without looking like a hybrid. 

My experience with the Tour Edge Hot Launch Irons has been positive. I would say the only risk is that you may out grow them if you start playing really well. They are giant shovels at the end of a stick. So they are easy to hit, but pretty much one-trick-ponies. The other thing I'd suggest you consider is the C series is great off the fairway or off a mat, but it struggles out of the rough. It is literally just so big it hits every blade of grass and that can slow it down and or turn the head in the rough. The E series on the other hand had a sole that designed to cut through the rough and it actually works quite well off pretty much any lie. 

They aren't designed for feel or workability, they are designed to hit the ball high and straight and they pretty much do what it says on the tin. One caution, if you are a person who doesn't like hybrids, you won't like the E series.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I have heard, and read, similar comments.  I have a friend that started golfing last year and bought the E series.  He likes them, but he plays about 5 times a year and is lucky to shoot 120.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
