Tour Edge HL4 Hybrids and HL4 Iron-Woods Preview: Get Ready for the Ultimate Launching Experience

Tour Edge Golf is releasing their new line of Hot Launch 4 hybrids and individual HL4 Iron-Woods for higher launching, longer distance performance that promises to again push the envelope in hybrid club advancements. 

 

The HL4 hybrids features a thinner and lighter forged 17-4 stainless steel crown for faster club and ball speeds, while also featuring higher MOI properties, which is a consistent performance upgrade throughout the entire HL4 line.  These clubs were designed to hit the ball long, high, and straight. 

The newly designed HL4 Iron-Woods feature a re-designed shape with a thinner forged face for more spring-like effect and distance.  Tour Edge R&D put everything they've learned since launching the world's first iron-wood over 15 years ago into the new HL4, and the result is upgraded distance about a club longer over the previous Hot Launch iron-woods. 

HL4 is the fourth release in the award-winning Hot Launch series from Tour Edge founder and master club designer, David Glod, and features a complete lineup from driver to irons, all designed to fill a niche as the best technology and performance at a mid-tier price point. 

 

The new premium performance clubs will be available nationwide and globally on August 1st.  And all HL4 custom fit orders will ship with Tour Edge’s unprecedented 48-hour delivery guarantee in the continental United States. 

HL4 Hybrid Details 
More weight in the sole of the HL4 Hybrid lowers the CG and raises MOI for optimal feel, launch and forgiveness. 

Cup Face technology combined with Variable Face Thickness technology provides greater distance from more contact points on the face that results in better off-center hit distance. 

 

The redesigned face of the HL4 Hybrid is thinner and produces more face flex and greater distance, making these hybrids the ideal long iron replacements for every level of golfer.

A high-toe face design delivers greater forgiveness and an expanded sweet spot across the face.   The low-profile face design combined with a redistribution of weight into the sole lowers the center of gravity making this hybrid incredibly easy to launch. 

HL4 Iron-Wood Specifics 
Available individually or as a complete set, the newly designed HL4 Iron-Wood features increased head volumes for more forgiveness and a thinner forged face for more spring-like effect and distance.

The iron-wood combines a hollow hyper-steel body with a super-thin forged steel face for maximum club and ball speeds. 

 

More weight in the sole of the club-head combined with the perimeter weighting properties of a hollow body design increases launch angle and forgiveness on every shot.

The new Rear Inverted Crown technology lowers the CG for the highest-launching iron-woods to date.

Variable Face Thickness technology in both the hybrid and the iron-wood provides more contact points on the face that equates to better off-center hit distance.

The Power Channel on the sole behind the club face of both the hybrid and the iron-wood is wider and deeper for better weight distribution and increased face flexing.  The Power Channel delivers amplified ball speed and less spin, as well as added forgiveness on shots struck lower on the face.

HL4 Custom Fitting 
The Hot Launch series is designed to take advantage of the emerging growth segment of customization within the equipment market.  Until the launch of Hot Launch by Tour Edge, the value segment of the custom fitting market had been largely under-serviced. 

Tour Edge plans to have over 750 custom fitting centers across the country that will feature the mobile HL4 custom fitting bag and their industry leading 48-hour guaranteed delivery on custom fit orders.  All custom fit specific orders turned into Tour Edge by 2:30 PM Central standard time will be built at Tour Edge headquarters in Batavia, IL and shipped to any continental U.S. state in 48-hours time, either back to the Tour Edge fitting location or directly to the end consumer.
