Tour Edge stopped the show at the 2017 PGA Merchandise Show with its new Exotics CBX irons, and now we have all of the details. The irons are projected to hit retail on April 4, and will be available for $125 (steel) and $150 (graphite, or custom) per iron.

The Exotics CBX irons are unique because they’re triple-forged from Japanese S25 Carbon, making the blade-like irons feel softer at impact. They also have faces that are CNC-milled to ensure face flatness and groove compliance, and the back cavities are CNC-milled, as well.

With a dual-level flange and a TPE alloy insert behind the face, the back portion of the irons are designed to raise MOI (moment of inertia, a measure of forgiveness). The dual-level flange is said to enhance feel, mostly on shots hit low on the face.

Stock shafts include True Temper XP 95 (R, S), True Temper Dynamic Gold AMT (R, S, X), KBS Tour Steel (R, S, X) and UST Mamiya Recoil graphite. Also available are custom shafts including KBS C-Taper, KBS C-Taper Light, True Temper Dynamic Gold Tour Issue and True Temper Dynamic Gold.

Spotted: Nate Lashley’s Ping PLD “Wolverine” putter

Ping PLD putters have been a very common site on profesional tours. Pros seem to gravitate toward the PLD line’s custom options and precision milling. We have seen the PLD line expanded over the years, but we haven’t seen too many, if any, large mallets.

This week we spotted a PLD putter in Nate Lashley’s bag that has a similar look to the old Ping Wolverine head shape. This putter is a large mallet with the famous “claws” on the outside and oval center that housed the alignment aid.

Nick’s putter has the PLD logo on the back but also looks like it might have an insert installed on the face. It is hard to tell but at the address picture, it looks like the face is a lighter material than the rest of the putters. The putter is center-shafted and should be face-balanced with a high MOI for stability and forgiveness on mishits. The sole is completely milled and has no markings of name or technologies that might be present in the head. A single white site line is on the top of the putter for alignment.
