Tour Edge Exotics Fairway Woods

TOUR EDGE Exotics Fairway Wood w/Graphite Shaft

Tour Edge is a company that has made its reputation on producing low cost, high quality products. Their designs are originals, their materials top quality and their workmanship superb. Their clubs made the Golf Digest hot list in five different categories. And yet they produce clubs that are as low priced as those found among second-tier Chinese knockoffs.

I owned a Tour Edge Bazooka steel driver a couple of years ago, and thought that it was an excellent club for the money. I’d still be playing it except for the fact that I swap drivers like some people swap putters. That’s one club that I sometimes wish I still had.

So how does Tour Edge do it? They claim it’s because they don’t spend money on marketing and advertising. Instead, they seem to work on getting their clubs onto showroom and green grass pro shop floors. I first saw them in the otherwise poorly stocked pro shop of a local course.

So the low-end strategy has worked for Tour Edge. But in recent years, Tour Edge has tried to break into the premium markets with its “Exotics” line of clubs.

The Exotics Fairway woods combine two materials in the head: a cup faced titanium face with a Hypersteel body. The two metals are bonded with a process that Tour Edge calls combo brazing. The process seals the two pieces together without the added weight of a welding process. The weight savings then is moved down and back.

The Exotics name not only stems from the materials and manufacturing, but also from its looks. The club definitely had an edge with lines that remind me of the new Cadillacs.

Tour Edge claims that its 3-wood outdrives the Callaway, PIng and Cobra fairway woods by at least 20 yards.
