The Tour Edge set is on sale. Price looks pretty impressive for including the
KBS TGI Tour Graphite shafts which are $85/each at golfworks. These are their hollow body filled with goop design similar to the p790s.
https://maplehillgolf.com/tour-ed...721-irons/ Graphite is $469.99, Steel is $429.99
This ultra-premium player's distance iron is being let by innovation breakthroughs by Tour Edge, most notably the new Diamond Face 2.0 and the VibRCore Technology that provides the ultimate in power and feel.
Features:
- Dual VibRCore Technology: The Exotics C721 Iron consists of a high-grade TPU injected into the hollow-body pocket to create new speed-inducing and feel-enhancing technology called VibRCore
- Full-Face Diamond Face 2.0 Technology: The iron features a full-face Diamond Face 2.0 technology; the first time Tour Edge has employed Diamond Face technology into an iron design
- Military Grade Maraging Steel: The design is a 2-piece cast body with a forged high-strength Military-Grade Maraging Steel Face that is plasma-welded onto the 17-4 stainless steel body
- L-Cup Face: The L-Cup Face acts as a hinge designed to create a thinner leading edge that provides a dramatic spring-effect throughout the face for incredible forgiveness on miss-hits either off the toe or the heel
- Player Preferred Shaping- The Exotics C721 Iron (Competition Spec) features a smaller, more classic shape, more traditional lofts and a thinner topline that is still ideal for a broad range of golfers

Agreed for a new golfer who needs everything, it's pretty hard to beat. Especially since these aren't game improvement irons, they're players distance irons. But I'd say these are probably a big step up in quality.
Hollow core, larger head than typical players irons, and lofts on par with game improvement irons.
Anyone have an opinion? I want to gift a set to a beginner who has been golfing with a junk brand (Intec?).
This set you could grow into. Because of the hollow design and slightly larger head, it should cover all skill levels. This should be a nice step up from his truly beginners clubs. I play the Mizuno JPX921 Tour so this TEE set is very forgiving compared to my Mizunos. Like the other poster, I buy my woods from Callaway Preowned. Call to ask for free shipping or it is $9.95. Spend another $400 to get your woods. Even if you spend more for the set compared to the Costco set, it is a far superior set of golf equipment. JMHO
That said, these are not beginners clubs. These are for someone who's been playing for a few years and is ready to upgrade from their secondhand irons and has been eyeing a $1500 set of Mizunos or similar. In that situation, these should be darn near an immediate buy at this price.
For a newbie, spend $100-200 for a newer used set off marketplace and call it a day. Just about anything made in the last 15 years is going to be modern enough to give them a good experience and will be better quality than a budget tier starter set.

Lease forgiving on off center hits which you are almost always going to do as a beginner
I've been playing a year and still struggle to hit the center of the face all the time
No beginner should be using stiff shafts. They'd be much better off to slow down their swing speed and focus on making good contact rather than swinging for the fences.
No I'm saying most beginners shouldn't. Like Tiger Woods Dad taught him to swing as hard as you can but only as long as you can Hit The Sweet Spot. Most beginners have trouble hitting The Sweet Spot at 75 mile per hour swing speed,no way they're going to be doing it at 90 Plus, at least not consistently enough to benefit from firm shafts. By the way most people vastly overestimate their own swing speed.
They call them their players distance as there is little offset. Their E721 is their full cavity back beginner club. I think they'd be worth a try for a beginner.
Maltby at Golfworks.com is another company to check out. Not well known but they make great high quality clubs.
I second maltby quality. Their sti2 set is fantastic value for true beginners.
Exactly, and you can get an 8 piece set, customized, for $230. In direct comparison to these Exoctics, I'd rather wait and buy the new TS3's when they become available soon.

Second the other response. These are going to be less forgiving for off center shots. The perimeter weighting and TPU insert will help to some extent, but there are other designs that are going to be more beginner friendly. Most cavity back clubs will be more oriented towards a first set.
I game a set of used PRGR irons that are similar in construction to these. The added distance is great, but I still eat it on miss-hits more than I did with my previous set. I've just improved enough that the miss-hits are less frequent.
There's also no need to spend nearly $500 on an iron set as a beginner, even if it's a screaming deal like these are. You'd be better off spending most of that on lessons and greens fees. The used market for clubs is huge, and you can put together a full bag of slightly older, good quality clubs for less. There's no point in joining the clubs "arms race" unless you know you're going to get your money's worth or you're looking to flex on your buddies. Tour Edge isn't a flex brand, so make sure you're gonna play them enough to make it worth it.
