Tour Edge Golf Manufacturing is a club manufacturer based in St. Charles, Illinois. It began in 1985 and became popular with its Bazooka line of drivers and iron sets in the 1990s. Today, the company specializes in making a full line of clubs including drivers, fairway woods, irons, putters and hybrid clubs.
The Bazooka Geomax 2 Iron/Wood Hybrid S is a low-profile utility club that comes in five lofts: 17 (#2), 19, (#3), 22 (#4), 25 (#5) and 28 (#6) degrees. The stainless steel series, now discontinued and replaced with the new Geomax hybrid, was stocked with a premium graphite shaft and Tour Edge rubber grip.
Head Specs
The Bazooka Geomax 2 Hybrid S head is made of a stainless steel body and 2-mm maraging steel face. It boasts a low center of gravity and deep face. Sole-weighted with a 20-gram insert, the Geomax also has a concave crown.
Stock Shaft
Bazooka Geomax Iron/Woods came off the rack fitted with special Geomax Graphite shafts made by Grafalloy available in five flexes: Light, Senior (A), Regular, Stiff and Extra Stiff.
Performance
Tour Edge is traditionally known for its inexpensive, yet reliable and quality clubs. The Geomax 2 Hybrid S line brings the Tour Edge quality to each shot. The clubs are comfortable and pick the ball nicely from a variety of lies. The sole moves through impact area with minimal drag while the thin face is responsive, allowing for effortless shot-shaping, especially with clubs with stiffer shafts.
Price
New Tour Edge Bazooka Geomax Hybrid S series clubs are slightly hard to come by, but several liquidators, online outlets and select Tour Edge dealers still carry them. Depending on the loft, most retailers are selling the hybrids in the $30 to $50 range.
