Testing the new Full Swing KIT launch monitor

Published

on

When Tiger Woods posted a swing video to social media on November 21, GolfWRXers eyes were keenly trained on a piece of equipment — and it wasn’t the club in Woods’ hands. Rather, it was the launch monitor positioned behind the 15-time major champion.

The sleek, compact unit bore the logo of Full Swing, with whom Woods has had a partnership since 2015, but we didn’t have much more information about the device.

Fast forward three weeks, and not only are we able to present the backstory and technical details of the Full Swing KIT launch monitor — but GolfWRX’s Brian Knudson had a chance to demo the unit.

You can check out BK’s testing session below with the full story on Full Swing’s new launch monitor after the jump.

CEO Ryan Dotters, SVP of Sales and Marketing, Jason Fierro chatted with GolfWRX about the new KIT launch monitor. We knew “Tiger Woods helped develop it and continues to use it as his launch monitor” is a pretty powerful marketing gambit — and all the more impressive when considering the unit retails for $3,999 — but we were keen to learn more.

Four years ago, the Full Swing team set out to create an easy-to-use radar-based launch monitor that delivered the full complement of data as units that cost four times as much. In addition to being easy to use and set up, Full Swing wanted the KIT to feature a full-color display on the unit.

In terms of what is actually being displayed, the Full Swing KIT features 16 data points: carry distance, total distance, spin rate, spin axis, face angle, face to path, attack angle, launch angle, ball speed, club speed, smash factor, club path, horizontal angle, apex height, side carry distance, side total distance. Four of your choosing can be displayed on the unit itself with the rest visible within the app.

Additionally, users are able to select the data points are shown on the KIT display, iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or even spoken aloud/via headphones. The unit also records 4K video and displays in 1080P on the device of a user’s choosing.

Dotters and Fierro told GolfWRX in 2017, the company saw an opportunity for a UI/UX-focused product at a price point far lower than competitor offerings. It was important for the device to be compact, intuitive, easy to use, and for it to look like a high-tech product — and one that didn’t rely on a secondary device.

After three years of development and being told the sub-$5,000 price wasn’t achievable with the data and display features the team wanted, Full Swing finally arrived at the KIT launch monitor — and the KIT launch monitor arrived on Tiger Woods’ Instagram.

For consumers, the Full Swing KIT offers an easy to set up and use, significantly more affordable, fully loaded radar launch monitor (with an indoor mode coming in Q1 2022). For teachers, it brings down the barrier to entry to be able to offer students comprehensive launch monitor data. And for tour pros, well, let’s just say we expect we’ll see quite a few units on PGA Tour ranges once the West Coast swing is underway.

    “And for tour pros, well, let’s just say we expect we’ll see quite a few units on PGA Tour ranges once the West Coast swing is underway.”

    The lie detector test confirmed that was a lie.

    Mevo+ accomplished this feat a little more than a year ago….and for cheaper. Full Swing wants to nickel and dime you to death.

      I bought the mevo+ and hated it. This may suck too who knows. I would recommend the GC3 for 7.

        Androids worldwide market share is 70 percent of the market, try getting out occasionally and learning something.

          Thumbs up. Tom may be too busy standing in iPhone launch lines to learn.

    Put it against a Trackman and GCQuad to see how accurate it is. That would be the obvious test. But I imagine Full Swing doesn’t want that out there.

      It’s OK, it’s known quite well in the industry that Trackman and the Quad aren’t that accurate either

      • Nonsense

        If by widely accepted you mean used to track metrics during the pga tour telecasts and trusted by almost every single pga tour player on the range. You either have no clue what you’re talking about or work for fullswing.

      Why do you assume trackman and gc quad are so accurate? My neighbor works for one of the major golf OEMs and we take his trackman and my Mevo and compare them …. The Mevo is almost dead nuts on with the trackman

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.”
