New E522 and SuperSpin Vibrcor wedges from Tour Edge
Tour Edge has today introduced its new E522 and SuperSpin Vibrcor wedges which will hit retail on October 1st.
Hot Launch E522 Wedge
The extreme game improvement Hot Launch E522 wedge features a super-wide Houdini sole that puts more weight below and behind the ball in design to make it extremely easy for players to get the ball into the air and out of tough lies.
With its curved leading edge, the Houdini sole is designed to reduce turf interaction by 35% in order to promote a “no-dig” design leading to significantly cleaner contact.
The super-wide sole and heavier head weight of the E522 Wedge aims to also help to eliminate flubs for superior contact while providing versatility by adding performance benefits to all types of shots around the green from all turf conditions.
The wedge features a “super-deep” undercut cavity that lowers the Center of Gravity in design for enhanced forgiveness, while mass has been redistributed for enhanced flight control and to create a higher launch with increased spin from the rough and sand.
An oversized face design on the E522 wedge offers a greater striking area for enhanced consistency and accuracy while also raising the MOI for tight precision around greens and enhanced playability.
The full-face coverage grooves of the E522 Wedge are maximized to USGA depth and sharpness and are designed to provide enhanced spin and control across the entire face of the wedge.
Hot Launch SuperSpin Vibrcor Wedge
The new Hot Launch SuperSpin wedge is an extremely forgiving wedge for every level of golfer looking for more control in their short game.
This cavity back wedge will be available in six lofts (50-60 degrees) featuring Vibrcor technology that is designed to provide a soft feel at impact that will also provide more control around the green.
Vibrcor is a high-grade TPU strategically placed in the deep undercut pocket that is a new speed-inducing and feel-enhancing internal technology.
The technology creates a distinct feel of the clubhead at impact that dampens sound and shock while also creating perimeter weighting around the entire clubhead in a bid to provide maximum forgiveness, power, and ball speed enhancement off the face.
The new wedge contains a beveled leading edge that seeks to reduce digging, making for a versatile design for every type of wedge shot.
A cambered sole on the SuperSpin wedge aims to offer a glide across the turf, with the more rounded sole designed to help especially from tough lies and bunkers. Extra weight is centralized behind the top portion of the face, with the added weight in the upper center of the face expanding the sweet spot vertically, so shots struck higher on the face maintain control and feel.
In addition, the wedges feature computer-milled grooves that are at the maximum depths allowed by the USGA, which are designed to provide excellent control and spin around the greens.
The E522 and SuperSpin wedges will be at retail from October 1st and are priced at $89.99 per wedge.

From the Forums: I need more forgiveness in my irons – Looking for recommendations
In our forums, our members have been discussing the most forgiving irons currently on the market. WRXer ‘TheShark1’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons, saying:
“Currently gaming the Mizuno Pro 225’s but think I need more forgiveness in my irons. My well struck shots are real nice, but my mishits are not performing as good as I had hoped anymore. I really like hollow body irons so if I could find something more forgiving in a hollow body iron that would be great.
Open to any and all recommendations other than Ping. Can’t hit Ping irons at all.”
And our members have been sharing their best suggestions in our forum.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- AvidSwampThing66: “Another vote for the super forgiving and fast Paradym irons. They look really good for being a GI iron.”
- bobfoster: “I just went from MP20 MMCs to the new 245s in my scoring irons (just played my first round with them today). If you have a chance to try them, you might find them worth a serious look.”
- vman: “Shoot me down, but spend the money on lessons.”
- J_Tizzle: “i525s are great off the heel in my opinion.”
