Tour Edge unveils new Exotics C721 and E721 irons

Published

on

Tour Edge has today unveiled the all-new Exotics 721 Series irons: the C721 iron and the E721 iron.

The Exotics 721 irons are designed to provide every level of golfer two extreme distance irons and are led by the brand’s new Diamond Face 2.0 and Vibrcor technology for irons that combine full-face forgiveness and ball speed with optimal sound and feel.

Speaking on the technology featured in both sets of irons, Tour Edge founder and President David Glod said

“Vibrcor is a new technology that enhances speed and feel in a major way. With the dual placement of Vibrcor inside of the hollow-body pocket of the C721 and the undercut pocket of the E721, we’re able to provide the best of both worlds; perimeter weighted forgiveness and distance with the feel of a forged muscle-back.

“We’ve also brought Diamond Face technology to irons for the first time ever with this release. We were able to cover the entire iron face with up to 100 diamond shapes behind the face in our thinnest iron face ever produced.”

Tour Edge Exotics C721 iron

Designed as a players distance iron, the new C721 from Tour Edge features a smaller, more classic shape, more traditional lofts, and a thinner topline.

The Exotics C721 iron consists of an ultra-light TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) injected into the hollow-body pocket to create new speed-inducing and feel-enhancing technology: Vibrcor.

The proprietary Vibrcor TPU is strategically placed in two places within the iron in a bid to create a feel-enhancing internal technology with perimeter weighting around the entire clubhead aimed at providing maximum forgiveness and power off the face.

Vibrcor performance TPU is injected into the hollow-body cavity and works in partnership with an extremely thick, yet light Viebcor layer designed to further aid the clubhead’s feel and produce faster ball speed off the face while dampening shock at impact. 

The hollow-body design with dual Vibrcor infusions delivers a low CG (center of gravity), which bids to aid with launch, distance, and overall playability. It also adds 12 grams of weight to the low end of the clubhead, increasing deflection, which is designed to create an explosive spring effect off the face.

The Exotics C721 iron features full-face Diamond Face 2.0 technology; the first time Tour Edge has employed Diamond Face technology in an iron.

There are a total of 92 diamond shapes that cover the entire face of the C721 iron. The different diamond shapes of variable face thickness behind the face act as mini-trampolines to create faster ball speeds and expand the sweet spot to the outer areas of the face. 

Diamond Face 2.0 features three different thicknesses in an interweaving pattern and features a face thickness reduction of 29 percent.

This increase in Diamond Face coverage to the extreme heel and toe is designed to dramatically increases ball speed on off-center hits. The decrease in the face’s overall thickness also saved five grams of weight that was relocated to the lowest part of the clubhead.

The iron features a two-piece cast body with a forged high-strength military-grade maraging steel face that is plasma-welded onto a 17-4 stainless steel body.

This ultra-high-strength steel is used in aerospace, with landing gear, helicopter undercarriages, slat tracks and rocket motor cases and other applications requiring a high strength-to-weight material.

The L-Cup Face acts as a hinge designed to improve accuracy and protect ball speed on off-center hits.

A thinner leading edge on the new iron aims to provide a dramatic spring-effect throughout the face for added forgiveness on miss-hits either off the toe or the heel. The hollow-body iron design of the Exotics C721 iron aims to provide the best in perimeter weighting. 

The hollow body design creates distance and forgiveness, and when combined with Vibrcor, it bids to achieve a player’s distance iron with the feel and control of a forged iron. In addition, the Notch Hosel on the iron head allows for easier bending +/- 3-degrees for enhanced custom fitting, while SpeedTested shafts allow for optimal shaft fitting.

Tour Edge Exotics E721 iron

The extreme game improvement distance Exotics E721 Iron is designed with a larger footprint and a wider sole that utilizes hollow-body Vibrcor and Diamond Face 2.0 technology.

The Exotics E721 Iron utilizes a high-grade TPU strategically placed in the deep 360-degree undercut pocket to create the new speed-inducing and feel-enhancing technology: Vibrcor.

A second TPU is encapsulated in the steel-covered cavity insert that works in partnership with the extremely thick, yet light Vibrcor layer to further aid the clubhead’s feel in design to produce faster ball speed and to dampen sound and shock. This dual Vibrcor treatment aims to create an iron offering the feel of a full-flush cavity iron in a sleek, extremely long, and forgiving iron head.

The E721 iron also features Diamond Face 2.0 technology with 103 diamond shapes to the extreme heel and toe of the thinner face aiming to dramatically increase ball speed on off-center hits.

The E721 design is a 1-piece high-strength steel body with a 360-degree Undercut Design aimed at lowering the CG to produce a higher launch and increased face flexing, ball speed and overall distance across the entire face.

Extreme toe weighting on the Exotics E721 iron elongates the sweet spot in design for added forgiveness. Simultaneously, the lower and deeper CG allowed the E721 irons to be power-lofted to create distance and lower spin rates while achieving the same launch characteristics as a standard lofted iron. 

The notch hosel allows for easier bending +/- 3 degrees, while each shaft has been SpeedTested for optimal custom shaft pairing.

    The E721 6 iron has the loft of my 4 and since the target player would probably have difficulty hitting anything less than 24* from the fairway, would probably wind up with more irons with letters than numbers. Loft jacking is getting ridiculous!

    Really enjoy all the Golfwrx content. However can never understand why someone with golf experience writing these articles do not include a picture of what irons (or any club they are writing about) look like at address? It’s the most important photo and left out most of the time.

    Pretty mediocre offerings
    What is their advantage over established OEM’s with this offering?….not much that I can see
    A non event launch of a middle of the road generic iron…

    “…is designed to dramatically increases ball speed…

    If you want to be taken at all seriously please provide supporting data. (GolfWRX should demand it.)

    “…with the feel of a forged muscle-back.

    Anybody who is interested in these most likely has no idea what a forged muscle back, centre-face strike, feels like.

    I continue to be disappointed by Easy’s decision to cap the journalist’s salaries at such a low level.

    Looks like a generic catalogue club builder set. Shocked they still have that dismal logo as well.

    I like the look of these better than t100

    Those aren’t traditional lofts. Not even close.

    As someone with TEE irons, a driving iron, and 3 wood, I’m obviously a fan. But Jesus, whoever is in charge of design the last 2 years needs to go. They were on a roll with the CBX lineup, but for some reason they killed it and then they went full on box set from a visual standpoint. That logo is butt ugly. Forward this to David Glodd.

      Yep the visuals definitely have the “$150 amazon.com generic brand set” look to them.

Putter Roundup: 2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans

Published

on

We always get some great photos of some phenomenal putters at tour events and love to share them. Here are a few from the 2024 Zurich Classic that caught our eye and seemed interesting. (And as a reminder, you can check out all our photos from New Orleans here)

MJ Daffue’s Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype

MJ is going with the new Scotty Cameron T-11 Prototype this week. The putter is a multi-piece mallet that puts an emphasis on stability with the wings on the back. Daffue’s putter does have a design that differs from retail with a monotone finish, which eliminates the black paint on the aluminum parts that we see at retail. He also has a half siteline milled into the top and an L-neck welded on for some additional toe hang. The face features a deeper milling that should offer a softer feel and slightly quieter sound.

Scotty Cameron T-7.5 Prototype

We spotted a few different Scotty Cameron Phantom models with modified rear flanges. It looks like the straight black flange was cut into a half circle for a little softer look at address. On this T-7.5, you can still see the raw aluminum from the back view, so this might have been a last-minute job to get them out on tour. The semi-circle also has a white line on it, maybe to frame the ball differently.

Alex Fitzpatrick’s Bettinardi SS16 DASS

Alex’s SS16 is made from Bettinardi’s famous D.A.S.S., or double-aged stainless steel, for a softer and more responsive feel. The face has a unique diamond pattern milling and features a logo that I feel like I have seen before, but can’t put a name to. The putter is a classic mid-mallet style with a simple, single white siteline on the top. The sole is clean with just the SS16, DASS, and a green triangle logo on it.

Steve Stricker’s Odyssey White Hot No. 2

This putter has made some amazing putts in its long career! Stricker’s White Hot No. 2 might be in the top 10 of most famous putters in golf. When you see all the dents and lead tape, you know the heel will be up and it will be sinking putts! The soft White Hot insert looks to be in good shape and has less wear on it than the rest of the putter. We don’t know how much lead tape is on the sole, but it has to be multiple layers compacted down over the years.

Doug Ghim’s Scotty Cameron T-7 Prototype

This T-7 should win the award for “best color finish” in this list with its deep chromatic bronze. It looks like Scotty added a cherry bomb dot to the heel of the deep-milled face and filled it with a very dark blue paint. The rest of the putter looks pretty stock with its single site line on the topline and twin site lines down the “fangs” of the putter. Twin 5-gram weights are installed in the sole and the putter is finished off with a gloss black double bend shaft with a fill shaft offset.

Spotted: Project X Denali hybrid shaft

Published

on

Project X’s Denali wood shafts have been seen in more and more golf bags this year as we start off the season. As a refresher, Denali Blue is the mid-launch and mid-spin model while Denali Black is for players seeking lower launch and spin.

Denali combines great feel with stability and increased ball speed. Currently, Project X only offers Denali Blue and Black in wood shafts, but we spotted a hybrid shaft in Daniel Berger’s bag at the 2024 Zurich Classic.

The shaft looks to be a Denali Blue 105G – HY in TX flex. No word on details from Project X yet but we can assume that this is a mid-launching shaft that weighs around 105 grams in Tour X-Stiff flex.

Berger has this shaft in his TaylorMade P770 3-iron, likely for some added launch and spin to hold the green from longer distances.

Hopefully, this means we will see some more shafts coming under the Denali name in the future, as I think many of us would like to try one in a hybrid or utility iron!
