Tour Edge Hot Launch E524 Driver Specs & Design

The E524 is a driver that has been designed to combine ease of use with effective results for golfers with medium to swing to speed.

Tour Edge have opted for a heel-weighted, slice-fighting design helps in squaring the clubface at impact, thus promoting straighter shots and reducing slices.

Featuring a 460cc Titanium club head that is designed to be incredibly stable at impact, the E524 offers incredible forgiveness thanks to its high Moment of Inertia (MOI).

The design ensures superior in-line stability and reduces the tendency for the driver to twist on off-center hits, and provide the consistency that handicap golfers crave.

The E524’s Houdini Sole Technology places a significant mass at the back of the sole, which creates an ultra-low and deep Center of Gravity (CG) for enhanced launch and improved overall shot stability.

Ridgeback Technology incorporates a structural rail on the crown of the clubhead, which not only strengthens the driver but also extends power across the face and maximizes energy transfer for more robust shots.

The now standard Diamond Face VFT technology employs 36 unique diamond shapes behind the face to enhance rebound effect and promote faster ball speeds, especially on off-center strikes.

The C524 driver is available in 10.5 degrees and 12 degrees and also comes in a 15 degree HL model.

What Tour Edge says about the new E524 driver:

“The Extreme Game Improvement Hot Launch E524 Driver is designed to be the easiest driver to hit in the market for slower to medium swing speeds. Every aspect of the E524 is focused on improving launch and accuracy.

“The 460cc Titanium driver is incredibly stable at impact thanks to its extreme Moment of Inertia (MOI) properties. The technology built into the E524 Driver is all about easy launch, consistent playability, and maximum forgiveness across the entire face.

“The Houdini Sole includes an area of mass concentrated on the trailing edge of the sole of the clubhead, as well as a curved leading edge under the face.

“This unique and patented design creates more area to put extra mass, allowing Tour Edge engineers to precisely position weight in the head for an ultralow and deep Center of Gravity, optimizing launch conditions and greatly improving stability.

“TE engineers have brought the Ridgeback Tech concept from Exotics to Hot Launch with the addition of a Ridgeback rail on the crown of the clubhead.

“The Ridgeback rail provides increased structural properties that help produce more power across the entire face, including the extreme perimeters. The Ridgeback activation is also utilized as a unique alignment aid at address.

“The weight of the Houdini Sole is strategically placed to the extreme rear of the clubhead to place more mass at the extreme trailing edge of the clubhead.

“The back weight creates an extremely high MOI rating that surpasses 5,000 grams per cubic centimeter squared for top in-line stability.

“This weighting dramatically affects a lower and deeper CG positioning of the club for ease of launch and more forgiveness off the face at impact.

“Diamond Face VFT technology is a breakthrough in face technology that features 36 different thick and thin diamond shapes or ‘mini- trampolines’ behind the face.

“Diamond Face VFT produces a hotter face with faster ball speeds and better performance on off-center hits, as well as reduced spin.

“Offset designs are combined with a heel sole weight to provide the ultimate in slice fighting technology. The offset design of the E524 Driver added with a heel sole weight allows the face to square up at impact for straighter ball flight.

“The strategically placed heel draw-bias weighting of the E Series offset designs are engineered to help golfers avoid the right side of the course and to increase launch.”
