Tour Edge introduces new Exotics 722 iron series

Published

on

Tour Edge has today unveiled its new Exotics 722 Series irons which feature VibrCor and Diamond Face technology.

Tour Edge is also launching the new C722 Ti-Utility iron as part of the 722 Series, with both the Extreme (E) and Competition (C) ranges designed to produce different playing characteristics targeting a specific player looking for unique performance qualities.

“We’ve made the tour-popular C722 Iron 15% smaller than the previous iteration with a thinner top-line and shorter blade length, while raising the launch profile and expanding the sweet spot on the E722 Iron. With the new C722 Ti-Utility, we’ve taken one of the most played utility irons on the PGA Tour Champions, thinned out the topline and added some adjustability, as well as increasing ball speed to make this one of the fastest utilities you will find anywhere.” – Tour Edge founder and President David Glod

Aimed to provide maximum distance and forgiveness, the E722 iron contains both VibrCor technology and Diamond Face VFT technology.

This larger iron head with a 360 degree undercut design features a thicker topline, more offset and higher launch angles, as well as bidding to provide extreme distance through stronger lofts from iron to iron.

Here’s a rundown of some of the key features of the E722 iron:

Dual VibrCor Technology: The Exotics E722 Iron consists of a high-grade TPU strategically placed in the deep 360-degree undercut pocket to create a speed-inducing and feel-enhancing technology called VibrCor.

VibrCor works in partnership with the highly thick yet light TPU layer to further aid the feel of the clubhead in a bid to produce faster ball speed, dampen sound and shock and to create perimeter weighting around the entire clubhead for maximum forgiveness and power off the face.

360 degree Undercut Design: The design is a one-piece high-strength steel body with a 360 degree undercut design. It lowers the CG in design to produce a higher launch, increased face flexing, ball speed and overall distance across the entire face.

Extreme Toe Weighting: Extreme Toe Weighting is achieved high on the tow in the rear portion of the club, along with a new toe weighting pocket. This dual toe weighting elongates the sweet spot in a bid to achieve a higher MOI and strategic CG positioning right behind the center face and further optimizes the sound and feel of the iron.

Full-Face Diamond Face VFT Technology: The E722 Iron features a full-face Diamond Face VFT technology in which 103 different diamond shapes behind the face function as mini trampolines in design to create faster ball speeds and expand the sweet spot to outer areas of the face so that the full face of the iron is covered. 

SpeedTested Shafts: Every shaft in the Exotics 722 Series has been SpeedTested to find the optimal custom shaft pairing for every flex, determined by robotic testing and validated by player testing.

Power Lofted: A modern long-distance game improvement iron design that is designed to provide extra distance with the same apex height expected from each iron. The lower and deeper CG allowed the E722 irons to be power-lofted to create distance and lower spin rates while achieving the same launch characteristics as a standard lofted iron.

This player’s distance iron also features tech like the dual VibrCor inside the clubhead and the Diamond Face VFT technology that aims to give these irons excellent power and feel. 

In addition to VibrCor and the Diamond Face VFT technology, here’s a look at some other features of the C722 iron.

Player Preferred Shaping: The Exotics C722 Iron features a 15% smaller clubhead than the previous iteration with a shorter blade length and a thinner topline. The more classic shape of the C722 features more traditional lofting from iron to iron.

Military Grade Maraging Steel: The design is a 2-piece cast body with a forged high-strength Military-Grade Maraging Steel Face that is plasma-welded onto the 17-4 stainless steel body. This ultra-high-strength steel is used in aerospace and other applications which require a high strength-to-weight material, allowing Tour Edge engineers to produce a significantly thinner face.

Hollow Body Design: This hollow-body iron design of the Exotics C722 iron offers extreme perimeter weighting in design to create the distance and forgiveness of a metalwood combined with the feel and control of a forged iron set. The hollow body design allows for increased face flex and the ability to have a thinner face and a deeper CG in a thin-sole iron design.

In addition, the C722 irons also feature SpeedTested shafts.

Specs, Availability & Price

  • Lofts: RH – – #3 iron/19 degrees, #4 iron/21 degrees, #5 iron/23 degrees, #6 iron/26.5 degrees, #7 iron/30 degrees, #8 iron/34 degrees, #9 iron/39 degrees, PW/44 degrees, AW/49 degrees.
  • Availability: Pre-order now; Retail from March 5th
  • Price: $144.99 each in graphite /$999.99 for 7-piece set in graphite $129.99 each in steel /$899.99 for 7-piece set in steel

Tour Edge Exotics C722 Ti-Utility iron

The new compact shape with added offset of the C722 Ti-Utility iron aims to combine the look, feel and workability of a traditional forged iron with the extreme distance of a metalwood.

Per Tour Edge, the long iron is the ideal replacement club for players looking for faster ball speeds, lower spin and optimal sound and feel properties.

Here’s a look at some of the key technology behind the new utility iron:

Player Preferred Shaping/Thinner Top Line: This new, more classic shape with a thinner topline makes the Ti-Utility even more of a player preferred design.

Beta Titanium L-Cup Face: The 722 Ti-Utility Iron features a Beta Titanium L-Cup Face combo brazed onto a 431 stainless steel body.

The Titanium L-Cup Face wraps around the leading edge to act as a hinge that aims to provide maximum power and ball speed from more contact points on the face and to produce the ultimate in perimeter weighting, distance and forgiveness.

Combo-Brazing Technology: Combo-Brazing is a unique, distance-boosting process in which the titanium cup face is fused to the heavier steel back of the club without having to weld the two materials. Combo-Brazing reduces a large amount of weight out of the sole and back of the clubhead, allowing the clubhead to be more compact and have optimal CG placement that is designed to produce a greater transfer of energy from club to ball.

Hollow Body Design: This hollow-body iron design of the 722 Ti-Utility aims to offer the best in perimeter weighting. The design allows for excellent weight distribution in design for maximum forgiveness in the clubhead, allowing for increased face flex. It also provides the ability to have a thinner face and a deeper CG in a thin-sole iron design.

Adjustable Weighting: An adjustable 10-gram weight in the middle of the low-sole of the clubhead has been added to the Exotics C722 Ti-Utility Iron. The adjustable weight allows for expert custom fitting to dial in the precise weight and feel for advanced players.

In addition, the C722 Ti-Utility iron also features SpeedTested shafts.

Specs, Availability & Price

  • Lofts: RH – #2/17 degrees, #3/19 degrees, #4/22 degrees, #5/25 degrees
  • Availability: Pre-order now; Retail from March 5th
  • Price: $199.99

Toulon Golf collaborates with Valhalla Golf Club for latest Small Batch putter

Published

on

Toulon Golf has today officially announced its latest Small Batch putter — the Valhalla.

Discussing the putter, Preston Toulon of Toulon Golf said: “This putter is a collaboration with the club at Valhalla and incorporates three of the many things that make the state of Kentucky great – horseracing, bourbon and championship golf. The head of the putter and headcover have several allusions to a jockey’s silk and there are thoroughbreds on the sole.”

Inspired by Toulon’s classic tri-sole Santa Monica design, the company sought to modernize the profile and design leveraging its 904 stainless steel and 6061 aircraft aluminium across the sole. Toulon describes the Valhalla’s profile as “slightly oversized blade whose proportions are meticulously balanced to maintain the look and feel of the Santa Monica, while increasing the putter’s inertia to create one of the most forgiving putters we have ever designed.”

Throughout numerous prototypes, Toulon paid particular attention to the L-neck, with its full shaft of offset, adding a bit of length for better blending with the slightly wider and longer blade.

On the rear of the putter are homages to horse racing in the form of jockey silk diamonds and Churchill Downs-inspired font.

The sole of the putter features a large cavity covered by a 6061 aircraft aluminum sole plate. According to Toulon, this allowed for the addition length to the putter and improved inertia as well as moving more mass to the perimeter for greater forgiveness.

In another nod to Valhalla, Toulon uses a milled watermarked limestone pattern, a reference to stone featured widely on the property.

As with all the Toulon Small Batch putters, the team paid particular attention to the topline thickness and radius to achieve a desired look. “Soft yet crisp was the design intent,” according to the company.
