Tour Edge Hot Launch Max D Fairway Wood

Five lofts is unusually deep for a fairway family, 16, 20, 23, 25 and 27 degrees, reaching well into territory most brands hand over to hybrids. Every head measures a compact 145cc or smaller and sits a degree closed. Small and shut is deliberate. It shortens the head front to back so the face rotates more readily through impact, and it gives a golfer who leaks the ball right something to aim with.

The two weakest builds shrink again to 140cc, the point where a fairway wood starts behaving like a long iron replacement with a broader sole underneath. Nothing in this family adjusts. Only one shaft model is catalogued, the Ascent, across a senior to stiff range, and left handers are covered in the three strongest lofts. Players with a neutral flight will prefer the larger, square faced Max.
