Whenever a set of blade irons turn up at the office I can’t help but get excited. As someone who has played blades for over a decade, I have always had a soft spot for the precision, feel, and feedback that only a true muscle-back can deliver. But will these Tour edge MB Forged irons live up to that anticipation? Find out in our full review below…

Tour Edge MB Forged Irons Review: Summary

Tour Edge MB Forged Irons
National Club Golfer and National Club Golfer magazine
NCG SUMMARY

The Tour Edge Exotics MB Forged irons look exactly how a set of blade irons should. They look superb behind the ball, with a compact and classic profile.

Performance wise, its delivers pretty much what you would expect. It produces consistent distances and reliable spin control, but with enough forgiveness to make them more playable for all golfers.

PROS

  • Love the compact look at address
  • Superb feel and feedback
  • Surprisingly forgiving for a set of blade irons

CONS

  • Top line could be slightly thinner (just a personal opinion!)

First Impressions

I learnt the game using a set of blade irons. I have no desire to use anything different, so it’s fair to categorise me as a big fan. All the more reason to be excited for this Tour Edge offering then. The Exotics line has been impressive so far. I found the drivers were a joy to test, but these MBs had caught my attention a touch more.

First impressions couldn’t have been much better in truth. They are compact, beautifully shaped, and look every bit the traditional muscle-back blade. Positively, the profile at address is confidence-inspiring. It is compact but not intimidating. The leading edge isn’t razor thin, which makes the club look more inviting behind the ball, particularly for players who love blades but aren’t as consistent of a ball striker as the better players.

Tour Edge MB Forged Irons

I do slightly wish that top line could perhaps be a touch thinner for that ultra-classic player aesthetic. But overall, this set has serious bag appeal and looks every inch a premium forged product.

On-course performance

During testing, I thought the performance was right in the ball park of what I would expect from a well-designed forged blade. I tested the 9, 7, and 5-irons, and each performed consistently in terms of distance and feel.

Tour Edge MB Forged Irons

The 9-iron carried around 135 to 140 yards, which is a very good return for me. The 7-iron averaged 160 yards of carry and rolled out to around 176 total, while the 5-iron produced a 187-yard carry and a 205-yard total. These are numbers I would want from a set of blade irons, so it’s nice to know they perform true to character.

I found the ball speed gapping between the clubs to be even, and the spin rates were healthy enough that I was able to hold the greens comfortably with approach shots. The descent angles and peak heights were also consistent, confirming that the lofts and specs are well balanced. I think that is a common occurrence throughout the set of these irons, is that they are very well balanced in terms of performance.

While most golfers don’t buy blades for their cutting-edge tech, Tour Edge has cleverly added a few touches to increase the playability. The VIBRCOR channel, which is a tiny cavity in the back of the head filled with TPU material, helps optimise the centre of gravity and improve the feel. It softens off-centre strikes without removing the crisp, responsive feedback that makes blade irons what they are.

The heads are CNC milled for precision grooves and consistent spin control. Combined with input from Tour players. I’m assured this is what makes the irons feel so beautifully balanced through the turf and at impact. So, this can definitely stay.

To me, Tour Edge haven’t produced a set of blade irons trying to be a game-improvement iron. instead they are blades that reward a good strike while making the bad ones slightly less punishing.

NCG Verdict

Overall, the Tour Edge Exotics MB Forged irons are an outstanding option. They deliver the pure sensation of a true muscle-back while incorporating just enough modern refinement to make them playable for a broader range of skilled players.

They are certainly aimed at the better player, but I do think the majority of golfers can utilise these. The feedback is exceptional, the looks are timeless, and the value is almost unmatched in today’s market. Go give these a try!

About the author

Callaway Epic Max driver review
Jack Backhouse

A member of the PGA for 13 years, Jack has lived golf for more than half his life. Inspired by Tiger Wood’s winning putt at the 2008 US Open, an obsession began with watching slow motion golf swings on the internet and reading What’s In The Bag articles in magazines.

Not destined for a life behind the desk in a pro shop, Jack has focussed more on coaching, working closely with regional teams in North Yorkshire and helping golfers of all levels on their journey to enjoying playing the game more. Jack has coached many junior golfers into the county teams, and once worked with a player at the 2018 Open Championship at Carnoustie.

After letting his game fall apart prior to COVID, Jack rediscovered his love for playing golf after joining Silloth Golf Club in 2020 and whipping round the windy, firm links course. Playing regularly with a half set of clubs he has a passion for shot making and developing skill, and claims to have the sharpest 30-100 yard game in the North of England (only because he doesn’t know anyone in the South), and now maintains a +1 handicap at a club much closer to home, Sand Moor GC.

Jack has always tinkered with his equipment, once building his own Frankenstein one length set of clubs after watching Bryson DeChambeau burst onto the scene after winning the US Amateur. He firmly believes in getting custom fit and is happy to debate anyone about blade irons being superior to any other iron category.

Jack loves: playing quickly, 2 ball golf, match play, heathland courses, pencil bags, foursomes, Tiger Wood’s swing 2005-2009.

Jack hates: buggies, unnecessary trees, giving shots, the 7 iron loft debate, graphite shaft lovers weird superiority complex.
