Guide Review - Tour Edge Bazooka JMAX Driver

The world's best players are measured and fitted to produce the perfect launch conditions - perfect spin rate, perfect launch angle. Slower-swinging players can't hit those marks. Tour Edge aims to level the field with the Bazooka JMAX. By varying the loft angle, face progression, sole weighting and shaft depending on your swing speed, Tour Edge says the JMAX will help you approximate those optimum launch conditions (click on "Manufacturer's Web site" for full explanation). We tested one model which did not match every person's swing speed. Those it matched raved; even those it didn't match loved it, too. They found it a great looking and great feeling driver. But to get the most, you'll need to avoid an off-the-rack purchase and customize.
