Tour Edge launches new Exotics EX10 driver

Published

on

Tour Edge’s new Exotics EX10 driver uses new materials in its club face to improve forgiveness, a more aerodynamic head design for more swing speed and offers a slew of new shaft options for no upcharge.

The EX10, which replaces the company’s EX9 drivers released in 2015, has a 8-1-1 titanium chassis with a TSP 910 Beta Ti face plate that’s said to be both lighter and stronger. Using the new face material allowed Tour Edge engineers to make a larger face, thus increasing the size of the sweet spot. The material upgrade combines with the company’s familiar hexagonal variable face thickness structure, which helps to increase ball speeds on off-center strikes.

The new material also allowed Tour Edge to reposition the weight lower and deeper in the driver head — a combination that produces more distance and forgiveness for most golfers. To achieve this, engineers designed the head with an interchangeable weight and weight port, housing 19 grams of weight in the sole of the standard driver heads; a 10-gram screw goes into a 9-gram weight pad. Also available are 6-, 12- and 14-gram weights to adjust swing weight.

For more speed — both ball speed and swing speed — the EX10 drivers are designed with a more aerodynamic shape that’s “more tapered.” This means that the driver is supposed to have less aerodynamic drag as it moves through space. The driver also has multiple speed channels in the sole to enhance aerodynamics, and increase ball speeds on off-center strikes.

Fans of premium shafts will enjoy the selection for the EX10 drivers, each of which come at no upcharge. That list includes Aldila’s new Rogue M-AX, Graphite Design Tour AD-50, Mitsubishi Bassara E-Series, Project X HZRDUS, Mitsubishi Rayon Tensei CK Blue, Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana, Exotics Fujikura Pro, Exotics Matrix Tie, and Aldila’s Rogue Silver and Black.

The driver will be available on February 1 in lofts of 10 and 12 degrees; a new adjustable hosel allows for +/- 2 degrees of loft change on each of the heads. Additional weights can be purchased individually or as part of a kit, and the drivers will sell for $349.99 each.

    Compare that price to the new models of the usual suspects aka Callawax, TM etc…

      Was thinking the same thing. Tough to ignore at that price point.

    So how is that little flange at the back conforming when the Wilson one is not?

      It doesn’t stick out further than the top flange at the back I think. Who knows tho

      They submitted it before releasing it and subsequently weren’t punished for not following protocol like Wilson dared to do
