GolfWRX Spotlight: Tour Edge Exotics EXS Pro hybrid

Published

6 years ago

Jun 4, 2020

Hybrids, for many of us, are one of the clubs that don’t get replaced very often. Once we find one that we can confidently hit in pressure situations, it stays in the bag for as long as possible.

I am exactly one of those players as my hybrid has been in the bag since 2015 and has the paint chips and embedded dirt to prove it. That club has been my crutch to lean on when I couldn’t hit anything else straight off the tee, needed to hit the green on a long par 3, or go for the green in two on a par 5.

I wasn’t really looking for a new one when the Exotics EXS Pro showed up at my door, but the shape grabbed my attention, and I had to give it a try.

Tour Edge just announced the Exotics EXS Pro line of woods and they are “from the tour van” with tour-inspired shapes and performance. You can read the whole launch story we did HERE and also read about the new fairway woods.

The EXS Pro hybrid is smaller and has a deeper face than its EXS 220 sibling, giving it a look that better players look for. The shape is initially what got me, as it isn’t a tiny hybrid like we have seen with some other “tour” versions, but it isn’t too large either. The head is also a little more rounded overall, without a sharp toe or other lines. As I am one to hit my hybrid off the tee a good amount, the deep face was welcome—while it isn’t so deep that you can’t hit it off a tight fairway lie. The moveable weights in the sole allow you to adjust the head in order to make it an “anti-left” club that many better players fear.

On the course, I really felt comfortable with the EXS Pro right away. The first shot came off the face feeling hot thanks to the Beta Ti Face that is brazed onto the stainless steel body. The ball speed is really fast and the shot shape was flatter than my previous hybrid setup. If you are a high ball hitter and have a hard time with hybrids, the EXS Pro should be on your shortlist of new ones to try. Better players are going to love being able to flight the ball for windy conditions. Distance is of course fantastic, but it is repeatable and consistent.

The EXS Pro is a little longer than my previous hybrid, but still fitting into the distance that I require. Tour Edge didn’t just make the club longer to add distance, the lofts are pretty standard as the 19-degree I have is only 40.25” long and has a lie angle of 57.25 degrees. Dialing in the EXS Pro should be no problem since they make six lofts between 16 to 22 degrees to fit your gapping needs.

Over the past two weeks, I have found that this EXS Pro does remove the left side of the course. Tour Edge claims it is an anti-left hybrid, and so far I have found that to be nothing short of the truth. Shots are slightly fade biased with the heavier weight in the toe, but you can still easily turn it over and hit it straight. Tight lies or fairly deep rough are no problem with the compact shape and Slipstream sole, making it versatile all over the course. I

like the deeper face for hitting if off the tee and shots where the ball is sitting up in the rough. That deep face just gives me a little more confidence that if I get a little steep with my swing I will still be able to save a decent shot.

My only real complaint is that the EXS Pro’s Slipstream sole collects some dirt, and you have to grab a tee to clean it out, but really nothing that should stop anyone from putting this in their bag.

Overall The Tour Edge Exotics EXS Pro is an anti-left hybrid that is built for better players. What is might not have in total forgiveness it makes up for in lower launch, great distance, and its fade bias. If you have been struggling to find a hybrid to fit your game, the Tour Edge Exotics EXS Pro could be your answer.

In our forums, not everything is about club selection and shaft options. A heated debate has bubbled up surrounding the best sock options players can wear on the course.

@CletePurcel asked:

“Just bought 2 new pairs of FootJoy shoes and trying to find out the most favorable socks to wear. I try to walk 9 holes two to three times a week and good socks are a must. Thanks in advance.

Members in the forum chimed in with their favorite footwear accessories. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Maroon_19: “I’ve only worn Kentwool socks for golf for the last 8 years – regardless of weather. I walk 90% of my rounds and play anywhere from 50-75 rounds a year (going to go up as I just retired). They only get worn for golf. As long as you care for them, they’ll care for you. Have had zero blisters with them. I just started using my second set of 8 pair for our Bandon trip earlier this month. The old ones will now go into the daily wear rotation. Still good after all these years.”
smoova: “I’ve had good luck with Swiftwick. Walk every round 12 months a year in Colorado.”
Hawkeye77: “FJ Pro ProDry is what I’m usually wearing just because I have more of them, but I’ve got some Smartwool socks I love for the wool aspect – they sell them as running socks. The thicker socks are better for certain shoes. I’ve gone merino/other wool in almost all my socks – athletic, “dress” and so forth – no more “Orlon”, lol, some golf socks are the exception.”
th6252: “Another vote for Kentwool, honorable mentions to Balega and Falke(thanks to someone on this forum for turning me onto the RU3).”

In our forums, one user is returning to the game after an extended hiatus and is looking for a new set of irons. They’re looking at a number of different options for their iron set and asked the forum to advise.

User @Vuj wrote:

“Hey everyone, I’ve taken 20 some years off from the game other than 2 times a year for obligations. I finally realized golf is my first true love and I’m jumping back in with both feet. It feels like coming out of a coma with how much equipment has changed. My current clubs are Tommy Armour 845 Silver Scots I bought in 1995. Lol. I have been hitting clubs for a few weeks at random stores and finally did a full fitting today. I’m torn between several clubs and would love any opinions y’all can share. Of the ones I’ve hit I like:

Titleist 620MB
Ping Blueprint -T
Mizuno S-1
Taylor Made P-7MB/TW

“I haven’t been able to hit the TaylorMades anywhere yet. I’m having a hard enough time deciding between the other three. Hopefully tomorrow I think I found a place. Any other I NEED to check out? I don’t like Callaway or Srixon. They don’t feel very thin to me. Thanks everyone! excited to learn from this community.”

Members in the forum chimed in with recommendations, questions, and comments. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Poor Mans Ty Webb: “Any other blades from the last 20 years you should know about? Brother, how much time and money have you got?”
SBH9458: “You won’t go wrong with any of those offerings. If you love a blade, then you’re tracking in the right direction. I think important to consider a few more things since you’ve narrowed it down… what shafts are you looking at and what results are they giving you? And what swingweights generate the feel you’re after to get those results? Good luck and man enjoy the journey. What a great time to jump back in!”
grochol17: “Definitely need to include the Wilson MBs. They are usually pretty forgiving for a blade because of the way they drill out the head at the shaft (like they are making a bore through design) which allows them to move that mass out towards the toe, bringing up the MOI.”
