Tour Edge launches new Exotics EX10 driver

Tour Edge’s new Exotics EX10 driver uses new materials in its club face to improve forgiveness, a more aerodynamic head design for more swing speed and offers a slew of new shaft options for no upcharge.

FaceInsertEX10

The EX10, which replaces the company’s EX9 drivers released in 2015, has a 8-1-1 titanium chassis with a TSP 910 Beta Ti face plate that’s said to be both lighter and stronger. Using the new face material allowed Tour Edge engineers to make a larger face, thus increasing the size of the sweet spot. The material upgrade combines with the company’s familiar hexagonal variable face thickness structure, which helps to increase ball speeds on off-center strikes.

The new material also allowed Tour Edge to reposition the weight lower and deeper in the driver head — a combination that produces more distance and forgiveness for most golfers. To achieve this, engineers designed the head with an interchangeable weight and weight port, housing 19 grams of weight in the sole of the standard driver heads; a 10-gram screw goes into a 9-gram weight pad. Also available are 6-, 12- and 14-gram weights to adjust swing weight.

For more speed — both ball speed and swing speed — the EX10 drivers are designed with a more aerodynamic shape that’s “more tapered.” This means that the driver is supposed to have less aerodynamic drag as it moves through space. The driver also has multiple speed channels in the sole to enhance aerodynamics, and increase ball speeds on off-center strikes.

Fans of premium shafts will enjoy the selection for the EX10 drivers, each of which come at no upcharge. That list includes Aldila’s new Rogue M-AX, Graphite Design Tour AD-50, Mitsubishi Bassara E-Series, Project X HZRDUS, Mitsubishi Rayon Tensei CK Blue, Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana, Exotics Fujikura Pro, Exotics Matrix Tie, and Aldila’s Rogue Silver and Black.

The driver will be available on February 1 in lofts of 10 and 12 degrees; a new adjustable hosel allows for +/- 2 degrees of loft change on each of the heads. Additional weights can be purchased individually or as part of a kit, and the drivers will sell for $349.99 each.

Coolest thing for sale in the GolfWRX Classifieds (5/13/24): Full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs

At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals that all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.

It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

Currently, in our GolfWRX buy/sell/trade (BST) forum, there is a listing for a full set of ‘Tiger Slam’ clubs.

From the seller: (@CaymanS): “During the year of recovery from leg surgery that never quite healed, I was bored. One thing led to another, and I ended up gradually building/acquiring the individual pieces to complete a set of “Tiger Slam” clubs. They are what Tiger played to win 4 consecutive majors, which nobody has ever done. This is not an exact replica of course, but something close that fit me to play a few times per year and experience what Tiger did. But my bad leg, 4 shoulder tears, and age prevents me from the ball-striking needed to enjoy these to their fullest. They may not be everyone’s cup of tea, especially since the driver and fairway shafts are regular flex and most players good enough to play these will need to change them, but it’s not a perfect world. I am not a historian on this stuff, but my research indicates these are the same models Tiger used, with slightly different specs to fit me.

Full set $1,600, or…

…a donation for a Pro Kids fundraiser, or…

Driver: $70

Fairway: $250

Irons: $1,100

Wedges: $100

Putter: $350″
