Tour Edge Exotics E725 Iron Review
Irons tester Joe Ferguson gets his hands on this game improvement offering from Tour Edge to see which golfers would benefit from the performance

The Tour Edge E725 is a very solid and well-priced game improvement iron. The sizeable footprint provides a lot of confidence at the address, and they are extremely easy to get airborne. Attention has been given to the sole - the turf interaction is excellent, as is the overall distance output.

Tour Edge has been making waves in the equipment space for some time now, but over the past couple of years, it seems to have stepped things up a notch with some exceptional products like the C725 driver. Looking to continue that is a new iron looking to nudge into the best game improvement iron conversation, the E725.
In terms of the technology, the story behind this iron is all about maximizing MOI or stability in layman's terms. This has been tackled by pushing the CG to a much lower and deeper position, 10 per cent lower and deeper in fact, than in previous models to help the resistance to twisting. A high-grade TPU has been injected into the cavity to improve sound and feel.
Tour Edge refers to this as its Vibrcor technology and it allows for the long blade length to have the necessary support, with the intention of helping very much a game improvement iron sound and feel like a forged, better player club. In addition, the 3D Diamond face is a variable thickness to maximize ball speed and forgiveness off-center, and a multi-material carbon and TPU badge have been added to dampen vibrations, enhance sound, and save weight.
Looks-wise, I am a real fan of this iron from the back. I love the look of the jet black, textured TPU badge in the cavity, and while it is very different I think it just gives a very premium and futuristic look that I haven’t seen in too many of the most forgiving irons of late. From that angle, this is a set that will really stand out for all the right reasons in my opinion.
In behind the ball, things are as they should be for an iron in this category. Plenty of offset, a thick enough topline, and ample blade length combine to make an extremely user-friendly playing position that is sure to inspire confidence.
On to the performance, and all the quantifiable numbers such as ball speed, carry, and peak height could sit alongside any of its competitors such as the Ping G440, Srixon ZXi4, or the Cobra DS-ADAPT which was very encouraging. Less encouraging, however, was the spin number, or lack thereof. For context, these are very strong lofted irons (the 7-iron comes in at 27.5°) so I wouldn’t expect masses of spin but the rpm number did seem to sit consistently 200-300 rpm less than my next lowest spinning game improvement iron (the Callaway Elyte iron). In fairness, this is offset by a healthy amount of launch and peak height, which result in an acceptable descent angle, however, I fear when things get very firm this may not be enough to hold some greens.
The feel is decent, but those looking for a super soft impact sensation may be disappointed as the E725 irons are slightly firmer and more robust than some competitors such as the Srixon ZXi4 irons for example. Mishits are nicely flattered with the 3D diamond face seemingly doing its job well and the distance output (as you would expect with the strong lofts) is very good, making them one of the best distance irons on the market.
Overall, I think the E725 is a nice option in the game improvement category. While the slightly clicky feel and lack of spin may deter some, the excellent looks and impressive ball speed will have others very interested.
The Tour Edge E725 irons start from $779.99 for a 5-PW set and there are numerous shaft and custom options available.
