Tour Edge EXS 220 Iron

Tour Edge has officially launched its new Exotics EXS 220 hollow-body iron sets – the EXS 220 and EXS 220h.

Both the new EXS 220 and EXS 220h iron sets feature SpiderWeb Variable Face Thickness technology located behind the face – designed to act as a web across the face to enhance the sweet spot in every direction.

The new irons from Tour Edge contain a ramped sole which looks to offer more relief on the heel and toe for smoother turf interaction, while a new notch hosel has been engineered for easier bending +/- 4 degrees for expert custom fitting.

The Tour Edge EXS 220 and EXS 220h irons also feature LaunchPad Technology – a TPE polymer housed in the internal cavity insert that has been coated with a special performance gel that is designed to absorb shock and offer players a more significant spring effect.

Each iron set is power lofted which aims to provide golfers with added distance gains without compromising the same launch characteristics and apex heights as traditional lofts. The new irons also feature progressive offsets and blade lengths from iron to iron.

Speaking on the new additions, Tour Edge’s master club designer David Glod stated

“These two new irons sets take us into the realm of offering next-level distance coupled with extreme forgiveness in both game improvement and super game improvement designs. We have long been a trail blazer in hollow-body irons. These two gorgeous iron designs encompass every performance benefit this emerging technology provides.”

The EXS 220 iron set is a split set featuring both hollow body and deep undercut designs. The hollow-body long irons of the EXS 220 set (4-7) feature a forged maraging steel 450 Cup Face, while the deep undercut scoring irons (8-GW) contain a 431-stainless-steel construction.

Tour Edge’s new EXS 220 irons feature a 19-gram Tungsten weight, designed for extreme toe weighting and a greater sweet spot, and arrive in a platinum chrome finish.

The EXS 220h iron set is a completely hollow-body super game improvement set. The ‘h’ in ‘220h’ designates a hybrid iron set, and the new additions feature a high Moment of Inertia (MOI) and a deeper CG (Center of Gravity) due to its shallower face, and wider sole, which aims to provide players with maximum forgiveness due to the expanded perimeter weighting.

The Cup Face design of the EXS 220h aims to provide improved ball speeds off the face at impact, and the irons arrive in a brushed black satin finish made from 17-4 steel.

Putter roundup from the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open

Published

on

It seems like we spot some really amazing putters each week out on the PGA Tour, and in that vein, the 2024 Texas Children’s Houston Open didn’t disappoint. We spotted some new and really great flatsticks out on the practice green and in a few players’ bags. Here’s a sampling of the putters that caught our eye this week in Houston.

Kevin Dougherty’s Scotty Cameron Timeless

This might be one of the most classy Scotty Cameron gamer putters on tour at the moment. It looks like a Timeless head as the cavity has the “ears” in the upper corners and the bumpers look to be a touch larger. The head has a flat black finish to it and just a simple site dot on the topline. The back flange is naked, but we do get two Circle T stamps in the cavity where the name “Tristyn” is stamped. A shallow face milling is present, along with a small Circle T logo over on the heel. The sole is pretty clean with just the Circle T, Scotty Dog, and the 350g stamps on it.

Ping PLD Anser

OK, so this might actually be the cleanest putter on this list! An antique finish that looks to be a bit more bronze in color than usual adorns this putter. A traditional L-neck is in place and the topline is clean with just a simple alignment line on the flange. The back cavity features Ping’s PLD logo in matching white paint and the sole of the putter is completely blank; we don’t even see the model name on this one. The face looks to have a very shallow milling pattern as well that should offer a slightly firmer feel and louder sound at impact.

Tom Hoge’s Custom Scotty Cameron Phantom T-11

Scotty Cameron’s Phantom 11 is probably the most advanced putter they have ever created with a head made from 303 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum. Tom wanted a little different look and feel for his and opted for an L-neck hosel to be welded on. The L-neck, or plumbers neck, will create additional toe hang compared to the traditional bent shaft in the Phantom 11. Hoge’s T-11 was given a deeper milling on the face that should offer a little softer feel and more quiet sound at impact.

Piretti Tesora 2 CU

Piretti had a good amount of putters on the green, but this Tesora 2 CU stood out as a real stunner. The head shape takes cues from the iconic Anser 2 and Newport 2 with a squared-off shape and sharper corners on the bumpers and shoulders. The head is milled from 303 stainless steel, and then Piretti installs a soft copper insert for additional feel. A single site line, paint filled in black, is milled onto the flange and the cavity contains Piretti’s lion logo and four bolts to hold the copper insert in place. The sole contains twin adjustable weights to let the player dial in the perfect feel and balance.

Bettinardi Proto D.A.S.S. Hexperimental

Bettinardi is showing us that heel-shafted putters aren’t just a thing of the past with this Hexperimental prototype. Heel-shafted putters like this usually have full toe hang and a unique feel through the putting stroke. Bettinardi milled this out of their double-aged stainless steel (D.A.S.S.) that is annealed twice to ensure it has a very soft and responsive feel. The topline is straight and on the thicker side with a single site dot for alignment. A round back of the putter slopes gently from the face back and has a slight concave shape to it.

Scotty Cameron Circle T T-11 “Long”

The second Scotty T-11 on this list, this one is built a little different as well. I am calling this a “Long” because it looks like a counterbalanced build, and those are usually a little longer in length to get some weight up into the hands for stability. A standard T-11 head with the traditional single bend shaft should offer a face-balanced, or close to it, feel through the stroke. A deeper milling, and a red Circle T logo, are applied to the face for a softer feel and more muted sound. On the sole we can see that two heavy 30-gram weights have been installed to compensate for the longer build and heavier grip. This T-11 is also shafted up with UST Mamiya’s All-In multi-material shaft and finished with a long Super Stroke grip.
