Tour Edge Exotics as far as fairway woods go fly under the radar but once you game one, you're hooked

One that hasn't been mentioned is the Orlimar Hip-Ti.   I know guys that have two or three extra in the closet so they never have to play another driver.  They are very long heads.

We all know tour edge make amazing fairways with the exotics line, and a lot of people love the nickent hybrids (and both clubs can be found for near nothing on ebay if you get the older models).
What other clubs do you rate that are in this kind of category?

It helps to read the original post.

Although it doesn't conform to the OP's conditions (above), I believe that the Titleist 503i deserves mention here.

There's been some great responses in here guys. I knew when I originally posted this thread that I would get people posting clubs by major oem's, but that's cool, cause the majority have been older clubs than can still be picked up for nothing.
I guess I just didn't want anyone to write about clubs that get posted about every second thread, like g20's and RBZ's

taylormade V-steel fairway woods and ping eye2 wedges..

Never understood the popularity of the V-Steel, I had one and thought it was rubbish, it was the 15* and it was 15y shorter than my Titleist 980f 17*

Srixon, cause no one can pronounce their name correctly and they make incredibly fantastic sticks.

You G0LFWRX hosers, stick with your piddly stuff and leave unpronounceable club makers to Jack Pearsall, keen phonetic language type guy and all round good cholo.
