Exotics releases CB Pro, EXd and EXi irons

Published

on

Exotics’ new line of irons in 2015 consists of the CB Pro Tungsten, which replaces the company’s CB PROh irons, as well as the EXi and EXd irons — replacements for Exotics’ E8 irons. They’re each made with new technologies to cater to the needs of different golfers.

CB Pro Tungsten irons

The CB Pro irons have hollow bodies, thin faces and are each made with a single W-Ni tungsten plates in the sole that weighs between 90 and 95 grams. The tungsten soles help lower center of gravity (CG), making them easier to launch.

CBproTechThe hollow cavities of the CB Pro Tungsten irons expands the sweet spot, increasing forgiveness and ball speed on off-center hits, and they have thin, 17-4 stainless steel faces that employ variable face thickness (VFT) technology. This means the center of the club is thicker than the areas on the face away from the sweet spot, giving off-center strikes a boost in speed.

The CB Pro irons (2-AW) are available in right-handed only, and the long irons in the set are available for individual purchase since the hollow-bodied, low CG designs make them great options to replace less forgiving long irons.

Shaft and pricing options

  • $799.99: (3-PW) KBS Tour 90 shafts (steel)
  • $899.99: (3-PW) UST Mamiya Recoil shafts (graphite)
  • Individual irons: $99.99 (steel), $119.99 (graphite)

EXd irons

The EXd irons — “D” for distance — use several technologies to give golfers more distance and forgiveness. They have slots in the sole and an undercut cavity behind the face. The combination makes their faces very thin and hotter than their predecessors. Also, they utilize VFT technology to expand the sweet spot for greater ball speed on off-center strikes, and tungsten inserts behind the face on the heel and toe for a higher moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of the retention of ball speed on off-center hits.

EXDtechThe EXd irons are made from 431 stainless steel, with significant offset that will help golfers who tend to slice the ball square the face at impact, and a TPE insert in the cavity that is said to dampen sound and soften feel.

Shaft and pricing options

  • $599.99: (4-AW) KBS Tour 90 (steel)
  • $699.99: (4-AW) UST Mamiya Recoil (graphite)
  • $799.99: (3,4 hybrids/5-PW) KBS Tour 90 (steel)
  • $899.99: (3, 4 hybrids/5-PW) UST Mamiya Recoil (graphite)

EXi irons

Like the EXd irons, the EXi irons are made with slots in the sole, undercuts behind the face and VFT technology — but they have less offset, thinner top lines and do not have tungsten inserts on the toe and heel. These differences make the irons more workable than the EXd irons, which will better suit the preferences of better players.

It does have one small nick on the face near the toe as shown, otherwise in amazing new condition.  -BOS reconditioned and received last month. Oil can finish as done new by BOS when this putter was released many moons ago. -Head cover is authentic SC and shows age. Velcro is worthless of course, but does stay closed.  -Length is 34.25 inches, original shaft. -Grip is old and needs replacing.

Mitsubishi Diamana WB: What you need to know + club build, on-course testing

Published

on

GolfWRX’s Resident Club Junkie, Brian Knudson, was naturally excited to get his hands on Mitsubishi’s new Diamana WB shaft.

In this video, BK gives you a brief overview of the new WB, builds up a driver, and takes it to the course for some testing.

With the rebirth of the iconic Whiteboard profile, Mitsubishi didn’t just re-issue a classic, but rather infused all the company’s latest tech into a new shaft, paying homage to the original with its quintessentially Hawaiian-inspired stylings. A summary of that impressive roster of technology, below.

  • 80-ton Dialead pitch fiber: Positioned in the handle, Dialead is designed to deliver greater ball speed via better energy transfer.
  • Aerospace-grade MR70 carbon fiber adds additional strength, and 46-ton fiber in angle plies in the tip section reduce torque for tighter shot dispersion.
  • Consistent Feel Design: Engineers target minimal variance across shafts (butt OD, weight, and balance point) to make the fitting process easier.
  • Xlink Tech Resin System: Engineers continue to reduce resin content and increase carbon fiber volume for greater feel without sacrificing strength and durability.
