Tour Edge EXS Pro driver: “From the Tour Van”
Building on the success of the popular EXS 220 driver, Tour Edge is launching a limited-edition Tour Edge EXS Pro driver to offer golfers more adjustability, tour tuned acoustics, and greater workability.
The EXS Pro was originally designed specifically as a tour prototype to combine all of the Tour Edge’s technological innovations into one premium design for its staff players, but after seeing huge success with the driver as a secondary fitting option, it was decided that this club could offer a tangible benefit for the consumer looking for a premium product at a less-than-premium price.
“At first, we were just designing prototypes for the pro tours, but along the way, we realized that the market has a need for these tour-inspired designs as a limited edition series,” said Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod
“The EXS Pro line is designed to bring the level up with the more traditional player with a faster swing speed who is looking for anti-left clubs with extremely low spin and penetrating ball flights.”
Tour Edge EXS Pro Driver: EXS Pro technology
Packed into the tour-inspired head shape is a low and forward center of gravity to offer more workability and up to 400 less RPM of spin compared to the standard Tour Edge EXS 220 driver. In addition, the EXS Pro offers a greater ability to fine-tune ball flight thanks to a sliding weight around the rear skirt of the clubhead (FlightTrack). This gives players the ability to quickly and easily adjust the driver to be more draw or fade biased depending on shot shape preference or correction.
The stock weight in the FlightTrack is 6g but a separate weight kit will be available that includes 3, 9, and 15-gram weights to offer more adjustability and to help players fine-tune feel depending on the final playing length of the driver, which comes in at 44.5″ stock.
The head shape
Geometry is still the biggest factor when manipulating club head CG, and the EXS Pro has a deeper face, more compact heel-to-toe length, and is also smaller front to back to offer an ideal shape for better players. The crown slopes aggressively towards the back of the head to achieve the low and forward CG and to lower overall spin for golfers with faster clubhead speeds.
To help aid in further weight savings the crown and toe portion of the head is constructed of lightweight carbon fiber to once again allow designers to push the envelope of the driver’s mass properties and get launch conditions where they will be the most beneficial.
What’s inside…
Like the Standard EXS 220, the EXS Pro utilizes a lot of technology to maximize performance including a Beta-Titanium Diamond Face insert that features 33 different diamond shapes of varying thickness behind the hitting area. This feature was designed with the help of finite element analysis to simulate energy transfer and helps the driver produce faster and more consistent ball speeds on off-center hits by placing mass where it’s needed and removing it from places around the face where you don’t.
The last piece of the head construction puzzle is acoustic tuning. The EXS pro uses the same sound diffusion bars as the EXS 220 inside the head to improve impact sound. Engineers continuously walk a fine line between “hot” and “solid” sounding and venturing too far in either direction with have golfers reaching for earplugs or saying a driver sounds “dead.” The soundbars don’t dampen the club’s overall tone but help produce a driver that sounds both hot off the face and extremely solid.
Club specs, pricing, and availability
“The fact is, these ultra-premium tour clubs have a price that is still well under that of the other clubs seen out on tour, and we have perfectly followed our niche of providing the best pound for pound performing and innovative clubs in their class.” –David Glod
Lofts: The ESX Pro comes in right-hand only with two standard loft options: 9.5°, 10.5°. Thanks to the adjustability, the total loft range is from 7.5° up the 12.5°.
Stock shafts: Mitsubishi Tensei CK Orange: 60g (R,S,X) 70 g (S,X), and Project X HZRDUS Smoke Yellow: 60g (5.5 R, 6.0 S, 6.5 X)
Stock grip: GolfPride Tour 360
The price for the EXS Pro Driver is $399.99, and it will be available at select Tour Edge retailers starting June 1.

Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”

3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”

1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”
