New limited-edition Tour Edge EXS Pro fairway metal and EXS Pro hybrid unveiled
Tour Edge has introduced its “Straight From The Tour Van” new limited-edition EXS Pro Fairway Metal and EXS Pro Hybrid.
The new Exotics fairway metal and hybrid features new shapes and forward CG positioning as well as some technology never-before employed by Tour Edge.
Speaking on the new line, Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod stated
“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. With our previous Exotics launch, the EXS 220, we designed our most forgiving and stable clubs we’ve ever produced. 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 fairway metal
The new fairway metal from Tour Edge features a traditional pear shape with a deeper beta-Titanium cup face designed with the tour player in mind.
Designed for maximum workability, the EXS Pro features a slightly smaller 170cc head size on the 15-degree 3-wood, while an extreme slope from the middle of the crown to the back of the clubhead aims to compact the head and ensure low spin and a penetrating ball flight.
The fairway metal clubhead features a Flight Tuning System (FTS) designed to allow weighting to be adjusted for draw, neutral or fade bias. The latest addition from Tour Edge comes in a standard draw position (heel-10 grams and toe-5 grams), but by switching the 10-gram weight to the toe and the 5-gram weight to the heel, players can employ a fade setting.
The clubhead contains a forward Center of Gravity (CG) designed to produce the lowest possible amount of spin for faster swing speeds. The lower CG angle and toe biased weighting seeks to help to close the clubhead at impact to increase ball speed and to produce a slower closure rate at impact to be an anti-left fairway metal that is desired by players with faster swing speeds.
The EXS Pro fairway metals utilize a beta-titanium/360-degree cup face combo brazed onto a Hyper-Steel body. Combo brazing is a zero-welding technology that fuses Titanium to steel, reducing weight in the face in a technology designed to produce a faster and more powerful transfer of energy from club to ball.
The clubs feature wider SlipStream speed channels on the sole in a bid to provide more significant turf interaction, while the clubs also include a Sound Diffusion Bar which aims to improve the acoustics.

EXS Pro Hybrid
Featuring a deeper face, the new EXS Pro hybrid’s compact head is designed to produce faster ball speeds while achieving the same CT measurement as the larger EXS 220 series.
The EXS Pro hybrid also contains a Flight Tuning System which allows weighting to be adjusted for draw, neutral or fade bias. FTS dual weight ports are placed to the extreme heel (20 grams) and toe (5 grams) in the draw position, and by switching the 20-gram weight to the toe and the 5-gram weight to the heel, the club will produce a fade.
The new addition from Tour Edge features a Beta-Titanium face combo brazed with a zero-welding technology that fuses it onto a Stainless-Steel body – designed to reduce weight in the face and allow for a faster and more powerful transfer of energy.
Like the fairway metals, the new hybrids from Tour Edge also feature speed channels on the sole as well as a Sound Diffusion Bar.

Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
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.”

I purchased the 3 wood last year and absolutely love the performance and look;however, would prefer more options in heavier shafts for both the fairway woods and hybrids!

Nice looking fairway, but a 60g shaft is just too light for a 3 wood (I know you can spec a heavier shaft)
60g seems to be the norm now for a stock 3 wood shaft with many OEM offerings

Wish they would go back to a matte black top instead of gloss. Can’t wait to try them though
