Glad you enjoy it!

[@carlosGarcia-xl1ql]

I have loved tour edge for many years!! They have never gotten love from A LOT of people. Thanks for spreading the love!! Great video!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

I totally agree!

[@GregGoerger]

As a full-time Customer Service member and Club-Fitter for Tour Edge at our Batavia IL Headquarters, thank you for this review! We've had several people call today inquiring about the 524 series and mention having watched your video!

[@LetsPlayThru]

That’s great to hear. The pleasure is all mine. Great product 🙌

[@jeffjob6995]

Greg... TE needs to get their clubs in the hands of all the reviewers on youtube. Your videos of Matt Adams sitting behind a desk reading marketing talking points does nothing compared to what a video like this does.

[@allenparker2690]

Love the Tour Edge line. I've been waiting for someone to review their more affordable line. AWESOME review and information as always Sir. BTW would love to see you get the McGregor MacTex adjustable driver ($149) as a cheap driver for us beginners

[@turbonerd3075]

Tour edge is so slept on for their quality. I try to keep up with the tech, and every review I’ve seen with tour edge goes like “it’s really really good” “outperformed the brand I’m using” “feels really good” Followed by “I don’t think I’m putting it in the bag over my (insert brand)”.

[@LetsPlayThru]

💯

[@capnhook33_]

I have a c721 3 wood with a ventus red and it is a monster. TE is so underrated because it's backed and perceived to be geared towards seniors but I'm in my 30s and I just haven't found a better one.

[@awschuerholz]

I bought one based on your review and am loving it!

[@timothyjohnston5863]

I use Tour Edge fairways and hybrids - awesome performance. For a cheaper driver with adjustability, try the new Adams! PS when you were showing your stats ( smash factor etc) the picture was of the E524 and not the C524, for info.

[@commonman317]

I'm still a Tour Edge fan, and this driver was a surprise. Also, I think this is the first year in a while that they did not release a new Exotics driver, which is a surprise too. Enjoyable video Gabe!

[@Fightingscot82]

I could be wrong but I think Exotics and Hot Launch alternate years

[@mwkuhns]

Great vid. Love that you give attention to the more budget options. These are wonderful for those who are just getting into golf, but don't want the package set or for those who simply cannot bear the huge costs of the "premiums" nowadays. Hey. May want to adjust your graphic. You present ball speed and still have RPM as your units. Must have replaced ball spin. 😂 keep up the great vids. Keep showing all the wonderful options out there!

[@LetsPlayThru]

ah, good to know! I'll get that fixed. Thank you.

[@jasonvandyke8142]

Great review Gabe. You were hitting the ball very well (especially for a cool and dewey morning). Just a thought - I know this is supposed to be about this club, but especially on "good swinging days" it might be nice to hit a few with your current gamer to compare the budget club vs your own. I love when you do all the contests, and not saying hit as many with both clubs (keep the focus on the one you are reviewing). But for me it would help if you had something of a control club in the reviews.

[@bestgolfnoob]

Great video Gabe!! Nice to see a review at a different price point. 👏

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thanks

[@michaelhawkins6149]

Thank you!!!!! Thank you for reviewing this club!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Pleasure was all mine! I'm glad I did, almost skipped it.

I have an older tour edge 5W and I love it. It’s my confidence club

[@paulmcgee1867]

Interesting review. Thanks for explaining the brand differences

[@davidcole2337]

You should compare this to a 2 to 3 Years Driver (Used) Something like Callaway Rogue ST MAX or Stealth 1 Driver.. Pricing would be close to this New Driver. Also how does it compare to the Kirkland Driver.

[@makeyourmark00]

I was going to say, last year I picked up a Cobra RadSpeed (10.5 adj, regular flex, Fujikura Motore X F3 shaft) for $240 - brand new. You don't even have to compare it to a used driver.

[@leonardblush2557]

I just happened to be in Dick's yesterday and the Rogue was still $400, as was the Ping G 425. The Cobra Ltd Max was $250, however.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Good idea!

[@MegaKev63]

Thanks Gabe great review of a driver that we can afford 👍👍👍

[@chadfette]

Great video can't wait to see the video on the hybrid

[@LetsPlayThru]

Such great value. I'm hoping it performs on course like it seemed to on the range.

[@paulprince5583]

Love your videos. Made me a believer in this driver!

[@jtl1380]

Absolutely love Tour Edge stuff. The value to quality proposition is way, way up there...and they're made in the USA (if that kind of thing is important to you). The only clubs in my bag that aren't Tour Edge are my driver (PXG Gen 4) & my 60° (which I'll probably be replacing soon honestly). I game the Hot Launch C522 irons right now & they are great! The value in the Hot Launch series is fantastic in general. Also, I just bought certified pre-owned Exotics E722 3w (16°) for $99, an E722 3h (19°) for $79 & a C722 5h (23°) for $79 as well. All looked basically brand new. The 3w & 5h came with a Ventus Blue shift & the 3h with KBS Tour Hybrid shift. Insane value & they feel fantastic!

[@hivemindmvgc]

Right there with you. The only clubs in my bag right now that aren't Tour Edge are my 56* and 60* Alien wedges and my putter. Driver E523, 3W 5W, 4H 5H, 6-9, PW AW all Tour Edge E522 or E523. Really excellent stuff and the entire bag was probably $1000.

[@MarkyCannoli]

I have a hot launch 3 wood. It was better than my Taylormade. I liked it more because it was lower to the ground and much easier go get under the ball.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Nice choice. The 3 wood and hybrid look really promising from my initial tests on the range at least.

[@tribalkitty5498]

Great review , will need to check this brand out. Cheers from Canada

[@adamsartjourney]

I just bought the C723 and love it. Tour Edge has a new fan.

[@sethnorthern711]

Another great video as always, Gabe! Well done! 👍🏻⛳️

[@LetsPlayThru]

Thank you Seth

[@jonbuikema7399]

Nice job. Interesting. Not in the market for driver. Always fun to see them and how all perform. Best IMO was for about $149 back in 2021, the PXG 0211. And it had loft adjustability. Evenflow Riptide Blue CB shaft. Can still find them used for $100+

[@AuthorKyleWalker]

I just bought one today, can’t wait to try it

[@k.b.3832]

Tour Edge makes great products. Thanks for review.

[@ronmilenski2736]

Fantastic review and video. I LOVE the Price. Your game is almost identical to mine. I think that is a compliment for you. 😂. Always awesome and honest.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Price is NICE 🙌

[@anthonybending2687]

I'm half way watching, what I've seen , you should put it in the bag, my driver old , im going to have a go with one of these, great vids 👍

[@AuthorKyleWalker]

Loving the review, I’d be curious as to how long it goes when weather is warm, fits right into my budget though over the big names based on performance and price plus driver length of 45”

[@Joker-yh2xg]

Massive tour edge fan here amongst other brands. Just won the tour edge exotics exs pro forged blades band new in a eBay auction for $275 because no one bid on them. Absolutely stunning irons. Little busy logo wise on the back but design, feel and performance is stunning.

[@garybanke372]

Would love to see a review of the Cobra AirX line. Tour Edge clubs are very underrated IMHO. Great job!!

[@LetsPlayThru]

I'll try to make that happen

[@PJae00]

Huge Tour Edge guy here currently using the C723. I was surprised they took alot of the tech from the exotics into the hot launch. That makes it a crazy great deal. On that note, I would love to see you do a comparison of the 524 with a driver like the Kirkland Signature.

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yeah, honestly, I don’t think there’s much of a comparison. This driver is significantly better than the Kirkland IMO.

[@PJae00]

@@LetsPlayThru I’m not surprised since I know first hand the quality of Tour Edge clubs. Hopefully the 524 can generate more eyes towards the brand as they are extremely underrated.

[@williamstanley6804]

Great review

[@mariad750]

Amazing products with all the current tech. IMO the color schemes and logos can be improved to give it more of a high end look.

[@09Youba]

I have the Tour edge exoitc 3 wd and I installed a Fiber Speed fiberglass stiff shaft and it is the best 3wd i have ever hit. I will have to try out this driver.

[@LetsPlayThru]

[@j.a.1785]

I've been gaming Tour Edge for years, such an under rated name. They are fantastic. I'll ever play anything else.

[@youngguns996]

Excellent Review Gabe! 🏌🏽‍♂️

[@LetsPlayThru]

Appreciate it!

[@mikekennedy7596]

I grabbed a C522 this winter, they were practically giving them away. It is loud but you can hit some bombs with it. Well done Tour Edge.

[@LetsPlayThru]

C522 is a great choice

[@hivemindmvgc]

Buying a year behind is how I filled my bag with new Tour Edge clubs for around $1k.

[@ughhstuff]

This series has been an improvement but the colors they use for their hot launch and the logos do give off a cheapness, as does the name and headcover, but the heads are solid. They just needed to lessen the colors and this is a much improved version of the last hot launch series with all the red. Great review as someone who still plays the EXS pro driver.

[@willscarborough9089]

I always find the looks and sound discussions so funny. I have a Tour Edge C522 hybrid that I smoke. Does it look a little cheap? Yeah. Does the ball care? It hasn’t seemed to yet

[@obxarms7685]

Since you are my GO-TO Golf man on KZbin I took your advice on the Brava shaft. I went with Malby's Flagship Driver Head , the KE4 TC PRO. It's has an adjustable loft and a set of interchangeable tungsten head weights to choose from. It's on it's way to AJ from Elie Fit as soon as the shaft arrives. Love to see you review the TC PRO!

[@LetsPlayThru]

Oh sweet!! Congrats 🍾

[@AZstu324]

You should ask AJ to review the TC Pro! I have it and performance wise it's as good as anything.

[@obxarms7685]

That's a good idea. Although there are plenty of online reviews noone has done a video review on KZbin yet. @@AZstu324

[@AZstu324]

​@@obxarms7685was hoping to maybe get mine to Gabe at some point but he's slammed so that may not happen. FYI I just built their adjustable 7 wood and PTM-4 putter. World class stuff for sure!

[@obxarms7685]

It really is world class stuff. They just have that old school American pride manufacturing business model. Very rare these days. Good luck with the new clubs!! I'm looking at maybe a hybrid next! @@AZstu324

[@user-oo9zf1hx6n]

Definitely found a star Gabe. Won't find it here in Thailand but if Tour Edge want a Continental review of this club, I will happily provide one.

[@EdKrisiak]

I paid $199 for an older PXG model and was custom fitted. Still this looks like a nice driver.

[@nickmillar9651]

Great review. Nice driver. What degree was you hitting Gabe

[@LetsPlayThru]

9º which is low for me. Still blasted high

[@patrickbeach3070]

The swing is on point in this video.!!! Curious if you have tested the carry distance VS what the garmin thinks it should be? My guess would be you are carrying it further than what it says because 45 yd of roll is a lot. Especially in Florida. I would love to see that test.!!!!

[@tekepenguin1981]

Great review, where did you pick this up at? Anything else interesting from tour edge worth checking out? Where did you shoot this at? I live in the area and am always interested to hear where you're tee'n it up.

[@LetsPlayThru]

They sent me to test along with the 3 wood and hybrid. Both of those look great too. This was shit at Carrollwood.

[@James_Vaughn]

Really solid club. I wonder how it compares to the Callaway Mavrick, which was $249 last year. I tried the Mavrick and it was super easy to hit straight, but 10+ yds behind my TSR3. The spin was too high, which is always an issue for me. I would like if companies would offer forgiving drivers in lower lofts like 8 degrees.

[@incufan32]

Bang for the buck is always off the charts with tour edge

[@mikelangan2707]

You were hitting the C524 but the pics were the E524. Will you be testing that model as well? What are the differences?

[@neilcaulfield7840]

Gabe, the hybrids are selling for £121 here in the UK. That's just unbelievable. My new Qu10 hybrid was £239. My only issue is availability. Seems it's a product sold and marketed more to the American audience. Those distances you were getting with the driver l would be more than happy with that.

[@faroutgolf3650]

My Tour Edge Bazooka goes BOOM!!!!!

[@leonardblush2557]

I've admittedly been going through the iron videos lately and not the driver archives, but the tracer traces really looked great- better than on a lot of vids, anyway. Having a 10.5 model would have been interesting. It sure looked like a fairway finder at the very least.

[@LetsPlayThru]

In person, the ball flight was exceptional.

[@nickmillar9651]

Looked nice

[@19jc80]

Tour Edge is the most underrated brand in golf. I believe their large name plastered on their clubs hurts their brand. Lifetime warranty is unbeatable.

[@kevinwash74]

Whats up Gabe I am in the market for a lower level fairway wood. The Cleveland Halo was too big. I was unable to compress the ball. What do you recommend?

[@Joker-yh2xg]

Gabe I just noticed they have a C524 driver as well with carbon on the bottom as well as the ridgeback. Curious how that preforms compared to the E524. Same price as well

[@LetsPlayThru]

Actually, the one I’m testing in this video is C version. It was wrong in the on-screen graphics. Sorry for any confusion.

[@Joker-yh2xg]

Interesting! Okay thank you sir.

[@wessims3412]

Impressive. A few years ago I owned the tour edge exotics C721 driver it performed very well. I just couldn’t get used to the top of it…kind of looked like a Spider-Man blackeye. Just not my cup of tea. But they do have a great product and it does definitely kill it. And the price is unreal

[@LetsPlayThru]

Yeah value for money is so good

[@user-bx1hv4lz5r]

Now the beginning shows the c524, but the stats you show have the E524 driver photo. So this is the C524 correct?

[@nickmillar9651]

Could you test the cobra ldtx driver from a few years ago. They are 249.00 new now

[@davidnagy510]

Does it come in higher lofts ?

[@hivemindmvgc]

For sure they do - I have this club in a 12*, and they do a 10.5* too.

[@PuraVidaMasVida]

This or Taylormade Sim 2 Max? Roughly the same cost currently

[@csbb88]

At $250, would you choose the C524 over the Callaway Mavrik 10.5? Some other options at the same price are the Cobra LTDx, Cobra Radspeed XB, and the Taylormade Sim2 max? I am still beginner / high handicapper looking to upgrade the driver in my starter set.

[@PuraVidaMasVida]

[@GDJ1957]

Ascent shafts are expensive high quality shafts.

[@timbong1871]

You could always have it reshafted and still save yourself money.

[@danielshirley5457]

How does this compare to the c523? Is it worth the $30 extra now that last years is on sale?

[@LetsPlayThru]

That one is going to be much more adjustable. If you can get it for the same price, I would go with the C523.

[@danielshirley5457]

Tour edge is and has been a great product just don’t spend the $$$ on advertising . Years ago almost every set was fitted . Now they sell standard sets (for the most part). I wish they fitted again.I think you would get more better players playing these clubs regularly if they had more fitting stations and or more demo days where you could get a professional fitting .
