TaylorMade SLDR Hybrid for sale on eBay

Published

on

Through the years, we at GolfWRX have become accustomed to seeing new product photos leak well before their launch dates. But what we’re not used to seeing is embargoed products leak on eBay, which is what happened this weekend with TaylorMade’s new SLDR hybrid.

The adjustable 18.5-degree hybrid, which has a buy-it-now price of $349.99 (about double what we expect the club to cost when it hits stores), has a size and shape that’s consistent with TaylorMade hybrids, as well cosmetics that are similar to TaylorMade’s SLDR driver and fairway woods. It also has the same speed pocket that was present on TaylorMade’s new SLDR fairway wood that we spotted at the Tour Championship.

The seller is says that the club is a “sample … still in plastic.” It is located in Leesburg, Ga., and has a stiff-flex RocketFuel hybrid shaft but no SLDR headcover. Most surprising is the seller’s history. He or she has a 60 positive feedback scores and 60 other items currently for sale, but none of them are golf clubs.

The seller has sold golf equipment before, especially gear made by TaylorMade-adidas. But from what we can tell, he or she has never sold anything like this is the past. That why we (as well as TaylorMade when they catch wind of the sale) are scratching our heads to understand how the club got into the hands of an eBay seller.

    I wander if the seller made this form a 3d printer and is now trying to sell it for more than what the fairway wood will cost. its a scam

    Apparently, the person either saw this article or was contacted by Taylormade as the item was pulled and is no longer for sale.What’s messed up is that the shaft and grip are from the RBZ stage 2 hybrid since they are both black and gold. The new Sldr driver is a black grip and the new Speedblade has a black and blue grip. I would think the new sldr hybrid would either have an all black or black and blue grip.

        Plenty of sheep out there who don’t know crap about nothing who would buy this in a heartbeat. Not everybody reads GolfWRX.

    You can see his face in the picture. Looks like Rory to me, probably been gathering what he can while the rest of the players are preparing for post-cut rounds.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver

Published

on

Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game. 

The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag. 

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod

An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability

The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

Published

on

In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:

“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly. 

My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”

And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.

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.

  • manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
  • MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
  • dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”
