The Hot Launch brand has been a favorite of golfers for more than 10 years for two very good reasons. They are well designed and crafted for recreational golfers in the mid to higher handicap ranges plus they generally are much less expensive than other clubs of the same quality.
The 2026 models are targeted at players looking to improve their iron consistency to hit more greens with high launch construction and lots of forgiveness. We expect an enthusiastic reception for the Max and Max D models due to the optimized head weighting and confidence-building impact shot after shot.
According to David Glod, Tour Edge founder and CEO, “Hot Launch Max is built for golfers who are working to improve their games and want equipment that supports that journey. These irons and wedges are designed to make solid contact easier to improve consistency, and to give golfers more confidence from their approach and scoring clubs.”
The Max D Ironwoods offer easy launch with a satisfying high ball flight and the larger cambered sole with progressive bounce reduces turf drag and improves consistency from rough, sand, or tight lies.
