Tour Edge Bazooka 270 Golf Club Set Review 2023
For new players who are reluctant to spend a ton of money on a complete golf set, we hear you.
It’s entirely prudent to hold off on buying an expensive set until you learn the game a bit better.
That’s why today we will be covering the user-friendly Tour Edge Bazooka 270 golf club set.
Tour Edge Bazooka 270
The Tour Edge Bazooka 270 has premium looks and a forgiveness factor that will make the game easier to learn.
And that’s saying quite a bit because golf has a notoriously high learning curve. For the Tour Edge Bazooka 270 set, Tour Edge stuck with a pretty simple formula: bigger clubs are easier to hit with.
After testing this set for ourselves, we must say that we really appreciate this approach. There is nothing fancy about these clubs but beginners will marvel at the effortless distance they get from the tee and the ease of use of the irons.
Perhaps more than anything, our high handicap testers appreciated how easy the oversized irons were to hit with. And “Bazooka” is an apt moniker for these clubs. The driver and fairway wood included in the set explode off the tee and the turf.
As you might expect from a game-improvement set of clubs, there is a severe lack of workability in almost all the irons in this set. Launch could be higher in the longer irons as well.
However, if you are a true beginner, you will not notice these downsides. After testing, we also felt that this is the kind of set that you can keep using longer than most game-improvement/beginner golf club sets. Read on to find out why.

Tour Edge Bazooka 270 – What’s in the Bag?

Driver, #3 fairway wood, #4 hybrid, irons 5-9, pitching wedge, sand wedge, putter and a dual strap stand bag.
Tour Edge Bazooka 270 – First Impressions & Club Breakdowns
The first thing that struck us about the Tour Edge Bazooka 270 set was the size of the clubs. From the driver to the irons, these clubs look large, generous and beginner-friendly.
And for the most part we were right. While the size of the heads of these clubs comes to work against the usability of the set as you get to the longer irons, they are nothing if not forgiving.
For the most part you will be able to score the entire set for about $400 which is a steal considering the clubs that are included.
Driver
The first thing you will notice about the 460CC driver is that it is loud. It plays long and launch is pretty decent thanks to the low CG. But if you are the kind of player who gains confidence from hearing a loud impact from your driver, you will be very pleased with this one.
Woods
The Tour Edge Bazooka 270 set includes a number 3 fairway wood outfitted with a 75-gram graphite shaft. What we really liked about this fairway wood is that the shaft allows you to really step into your shots. It also interacts with the turf surprisingly smoothly.
Hybrids
The #4 hybrid in this set has a low CG and low profile head. Much easier to hit than a 4 iron, this hybrid still plays about as long. Launch angles are relatively low but the important thing is that it will help players get down the fairway quickly.
Irons
Irons 5-9 are included in the Tour Edge Bazooka 270 set. The first thing you will notice is the sheer length of the blades. These are big irons that require little accuracy to hit with. They have cavity backs and an undercut cavity to increase ball speed on low-face strikes.
Wedges
The wedges were pretty impressive overall. They launch very high almost effortlessly and you get near-automatic backspin from them. Also, the weight of the heads are balanced just so to produce straighter shots.
Putter
The putter in this set has a premium look but produces a somewhat thin sound. Despite the sound though, it has a clear alignment marker and is heel to toe weighted, producing good balance and high MOI.
Shafts
Both the woods in this set are fitted with 75 gram graphite mid-launch shafts. The hybrid, irons, wedges and putter all have steel shafts.
“The launch angles in the long irons could be better. The choice to fit the hybrid with a steel shaft was also an interesting and slightly dubious move for a beginner’s set. Still, the forgiveness and distance are there and short-game performance was surprisingly above-average.”

Tour Edge Bazooka 270 Cons
- Low-launching long irons

- The long irons are a bit heavy
Who is the Tour Edge Bazooka 270 Set for?
The Tour Edge Bazooka 270 set would be a great set for anyone just getting into the game.
And if you are looking to the future, we think this set will also provide playing value as your game progresses. By no means will this be the set you play in club tournaments; but it will make learning the game a bit easier.
We think the main fault that this set has is in the long irons. Long irons are very difficult to use in the first place and the 110 gram steel shafts used for the long irons in this set don’t really make things easier. The heads are forgiving but you will really have to hone your swing to get comfortable with these long irons.
