Tour Edge Bazooka Irons
As the Tour
Edge advertisement says, "The beautiful Bazooka 350 J irons are truly golfs
ultimate weapon combining forgiveness, feel, and power." To deliver on this
promise, Tour Edge engineers took casting technology to the limit.
Pushing the design envelope, the
Bazooka irons are investment cast using Hollow Core Technology, the latest
development in club manufacturing. The one-piece, investment cast irons feature
a deep-channeled cavity with a hollow core that produces a lower, deeper center
of gravity (C.G.){see illustration below}.
The hollow core allows the C.G.
to be moved further back from the face for forgiveness and stability. According
to Jay Hubbard, Director of Marketing for Tour Edge Golf, "Channeled,
undercut cavities are becoming very popular because of the incredible
forgiveness they offer to players. The concept of creating a lower C.G. and
moving it back and away from the face produces a superior club."
Setting up beautifully behind the
ball, the 350 J irons incorporate the latest in variable face thickness. The
center of the face area is remarkably thin while the outer edges are thicker.
This enhances the perimeter weighting allowing for a larger, more forgiving
sweet spot.
Making all of this technology
possible is Tour Edges proprietary Iso Steel . As soft as forged steel, Iso
Steel has a Rockwell hardness rating of HRB90. It feels just like a forged
blade. But Iso Steels properties allow the undercut cavity to be investment
cast to exacting tolerances that are not possible in a forging. Says Hubbard,
"We have combined the best of both worldsmaximum forgiveness and pure
forged like feel in one iron."
Features such as the undercut
cavity allow more weight to be added to the sole, making it wider and heavier
for an exceptionally low center of gravity. At impact, this additional weight
drives through and under the ball, making it easier to hit higher, longer shots.
The 350 J irons can be ordered
off the rack or custom fit for loft, lie, grip, shaft type, flex, and length in
an almost infinite number of combinations. With more than 500 authorized custom
fitting centers around the country, a Tour Edge fitting professional can help
you dial in a perfect custom set.
