Exotics to release CB Pro U Hybrid
In 2013, Tour Edge Exotics turned heads with its CB Pro fairway wood, which used a wave-like “Slip Stream” sole that looked completely different than other models. Two years later, the company has come out with a CB Pro U hybrid that offers similar same sole technology.
[quote_box_center]“After the success of the CB Pro fairway wood, I was asked countless times if I was going to put the waves on another club,” said David Glod, president and founder of Tour Edge Exotics. “Working with a more compact, hybrid club head took many hours in R&D to engineer, but I’m confident the U hybrid was worth the wait. It is already gaining traction on the PGA Tour and we are excited about what’s to come.”[/quote_box_center]
According to Exotics, the Slip Stream sole minimizes turf interaction, which helps golfers play shots from a wider variety of lies and can offer increased distance. Compared to the CB Pro fairway wood, the hybrid’s sole wave lengths have been reduced, and engineers designed new cavities on the heel and toe areas of the sole that promote even less turf interaction and greater playability from all lies, according to the company.
The CB Pro U was designed to be more workable than the company’s E8 hybrids, and has a 475 carpenter steel face that is combo brazed to a hyper steel body — a manufacturing process that helps eliminate weight from the face to improve performance. The hybrid comes stock with Mitsubishi Rayon’s Kuro Kage Silver hybrid shaft, and it is available in lofts of 17, 19 and 21 degrees (right-hand only).

Ben Griffin might be a little too young to remember some of the iconic Maxfli golf balls that won on tour, but that isn’t stopping him from putting the newest Tour X ball from the brand in play. Today, Maxfli and Griffin announced an exclusive partnership that will see the PGA Tour player using the company’s four-piece golf ball.
While Griffin might be the first PGA Tour player to put a new Maxfli golf ball in play, he isn’t the first profesional golfer to do so. Lexi Thompson has been playing the Maxfli Tour golf ball on the LPGA Tour since the beginning of the 2024.

We caught up with Ben at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in Texas this week to ask him about the new ball switch.
“I was able to finally get my hands on some and try it and immediately I saw faster ball speed with the driver, which is always something every golfer wants to see.
“Then I had to test a lot around the greens and test irons, test spins, test everything like that. Basically, I came to the conclusion that I thought this was probably one of the best golf balls for my game.
“And so I decided to make it official and partner with them and very excited to help kind of launch this golf ball and see where it takes us.”
Griffin’s ball of choice is the Maxfli Tour X, a four-piece golf ball that is made for highly skilled players that want consistent distance off the driver and spin around the green. An updated core design helps add the ball speed that Griffin mentioned and two ionomer mantle layers separate low spin driver shots from higher spin iron and wedge shots. Maxfli uses Center Of center-of-gravity balancing to ensure each ball has consistent flight in the air and roll on the green. Like all golf balls on tour, the Tour X features a cast urethane cover for maximum performance, and it has a tetrahedron dimple pattern to enhance aerodynamics.
It is exciting to see a golf ball at a lower price point — $39.99 at Golf Galaxy — being used by a top 100 ranked player in the world like Ben Griffin, and equipment junkies will be keenly watching his performance with the new ball.

Pro can hit what they want and what they get paid big dolla to play. They can game dog turds duct tape to stick. No one here half as good as pro, they should play this club cuz they can’t hit long iron. I quit golf once I cant hit miura blades.

Just to your statement that they get paid to play the hybrids, then why are they using different manufactures hybrids then their equipment sponsor? Just because the headcover says xyz company does not mean thats whats under them. Are the hybrids on Tour different then what most hackers have in their bags, most likely but you can still purchase pro models from your local shop or golf store that are engineered to help the better players (Tour).

Will you get a special brush to clean out the groves? Can imagine those are annoying to clean after each shot.

I have the CB PRO fairway and never have issues cleaning it. It surprisingly doesn’t get a lot of dirt caught in it. You are right it has to be cleaned but a towel usually just wipes it away for me!
