Tour Edge Exotics launches EX9 fairway woods
- Suggested retail: $229.99
- Release date: Nov. 11, 2015
- Options: 15 degrees (173cc), 16.5 degrees (165cc), 18 degrees (158cc) and 21 degrees (150cc). RH only for 16.5- and 21-degree models.
- Stock shaft offerings: Mitsubishi Bassara E-Series and Matrix Exotics White Tie, Red Tie and Black Tie
Tour Edge has officially released its new Exotics EX9 fairway woods, which introduce its Full-Speed Impact (FSI) technology. FSI combines a sloped crown that the company says is more aerodynamic, and a SlipStream sole — also seen in the Exotics CB Pro — designed for better turf interaction. The combination is said to maximize ball speeds.
The familiar SlipStream “waves” were made to be shorter in the EX9 than its predecessors, which is said to reduce the amount of turf interaction at impact.
Also, the power grid — an area of notches on the back part of the sole — is made more narrow and rearward than in previous models to increase the spring-effect across the face.
The EX9 woods have 475 carpenter faces that are laser bonded to their hyper-steel bodies. They also have a port in the sole that comes stock with a 9-gram weight, but it can be switched out with a with 6-, 11- and 14-gram weight to increase swing weight and or add draw bias.

I heard its $229.99. Someone posted a bunch of info this morning on twitter.
Brian

Why would it be half the price of their current exotics fairway metal? Our pro shop said the TE rep told them they would buy a Ruth’s Chris steak for anyone who sold the previous model at $500+. So yeah… Markup.
Ben
Sep 1, 2015 at 4:11 pm
It’s $229.99 The press release is on the Tour Edge site. Someone posted it in the forums. It’s definitely not a mark-up. The $500 has a way bigger sole that has to cost more for tooling. Also The $500 has real deal shafts straight from the shaft OEM. These shafts are made for shafts. That is the big difference I would think. But I have never been in the manufacturing business so who knows

Why do golf companies have big releases at the end of the golf season. Buy it at retail and wait 6 months to use it? Or wait 6 months to buy at half the price. I will take the later
Michael

some will say it is the beginning of the season. remeber the new season is only 5 weeks away. golf season is ridiculous, it only has a week or 2 when the season ends and starts also the lower half of the USA golf all year round cause they can with the weather.

A lot of people in the south are just starting their golf season. Companies want to release the big products that are more expensive when the guys who have bigger bank accounts and winter homes are getting ready to go south for the winter to play golf. Makes sense if you think about it.

When I was shopping for a new fairway wood this past spring my club fitter put an Exotics in line with the other clubs I was testing. I didn’t know much about it, so he started telling me about the company. He said ‘they use a mix of metal that is toxic, so they outsource it to countries with less restrictions since the process is banned in the US.’ I handed it right back to him. All companies have a dark side to some extent…but I refuse to support a company who is purposely puts people at risk. You can argue ‘they don’t have to work for the company’, which is true, but if you are in a 3rd world country and it’s either mix toxic metals or have no income, your going to mix the dang metal. Couldn’t care less how great the club is.

So you’re just assuming that what one person told you several months ago was true, to the point where you’re willing to post it here without having checked on the veracity of the allegation?

I Seriously doubt that. LOL The clubs are made in giant cilm things and people barely even touch the clubs…go look at there youtube channel. So you are calling carpenter steel and titanium toxic…lmao The club fitter you had must be a reliable source……hahahahaha If you are that concerned why don’t you ask TEE yourself? Just saying. lol

Really…lol They use titanium and steel…go look at their YouTube channel the clubs are made almost hands free. What a fool.

Sep 1, 2015 at 2:35 am
Did you actually believe that? Now tell me, how many of the OEMs make their equipment, especially wood heads, in the US? I’ll give you the answer: Zero. The fact of the matter is that the stricter environmental rules in the US and most western countries make club manufacturing, especially Ti smelting/forging/casting too expensive which is one of the big reasons EVERYBODY moved overseas..
LTM
Sep 1, 2015 at 3:39 am
christian,
To add to your point: it is THAT, plus the fact that the costs of materials and labor are exorbitantly prohibitive and therefore not cost-effective to do so in the US or any other first-world country. Plus, the EPA type people are not as easily bought or bribed in the US as they would get busted too easily, unlike in the countries we do use to make this stuff for us.
christian
Sep 1, 2015 at 5:49 am
Well, yes, But that goes for all brands, that’s my point. What that club fitter said about Tour Edge was stupid. And wrong. Plus, Japan is hardly a dirty low wage country, and they still have production of clubs. And they also have to import all raw materials since they don’t have any/enough natural resources. Might be that the environmental laws in Japan are not as stringent as in the US.
Brian
Sep 1, 2015 at 8:20 am
So how do they import them to the U.S. if it’s toxic? Answer? The daily double.
