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

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.”
