Tour Edge officially launches Exotics CBX forged irons
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.

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

Those are not attractive. They look like Ben Sayers Top Scot irons. I hope the show stopping qualities were tech based and not looks based.
