Tour Edge Golf has brought to market a new range of irons, the 725 family. Featuring the X725, the E725, and the subject of this review the C725, Tour Edge will be hoping to disrupt the market and sit alongside some of the best golf irons of 2025.
Starting with the tech, and the C725 is packed with features. Very much a players’ distance iron, it gets all of its power from the hollow-bodied design and Vibrcor technology – which is essentially some TPU injected into the pocket cavity to enhance both speed and feel. The 3D diamond face features variable thickness to enhance forgiveness off-center, and the military-grade maraging steel face has been made extremely thin to provide ultimate flexing power to once again boost that ball speed.

One thing that I really like about this iron (as a former club fitter) is the interchangeable weight in behind the impact zone – similar to the Callaway Apex MB, CB, and Pro – which allows you to finetune swing weight precisely without the need for any tip weights or unsightly lead tape.
Visually I think that Tour Edge has done a very good job from both the ‘in the bag’ perspective and most importantly for me the playing position profile.

From the back, the carbon accent in the cavity looks premium and while the weight may look a touch fussy to some, I actually like the way it has been executed aesthetically. Down behind the ball and the head shapes are as good as anything I have seen in this category. While there is a touch more offset on show than say a TaylorMade P770 for example, it has been beautifully blended with a nice hosel transition, and the overall shaping of the head is excellent.

Performance-wise I found the Tour Edge C725 really stacked up against the competition. I did most of my testing at Saunton Golf Club, both on and off the course, and found my distance output comparable to all of the bigger names in this category such as the Ping i530, Callaway Apex Pro, and the Mizuno Pro 245 which could be attributed to the impressive ball speed output (for reference, the 7-iron comes in at 30° loft).
I will caveat that by noting that in my range session, I did notice two shots that I would consider outliers, or ‘jumpy’ ones that seemed to scream off at 3-4 mph more ball speed and flew a good 10-12 yards further than the rest of my grouping. As I said, this was only two out of probably nearly a hundred shots, so far from a persistent problem,…
