The Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation Elevates Unrivaled Golf Experience
Greensboro, Georgia, April 17, 2013 (Press Release):
Reynolds Plantation—the lakefront golf resort community located between Atlanta and Augusta, Georgia—has long been known as the South’s most complete and exciting golf experience, featuring six outstanding courses (117 holes) and the best high-tech instruction and club fitting. As of this spring, Reynolds Plantation has raised its game with the expansion of its exclusive working relationship with TaylorMade-adidas Golf and a relocation and expansion of the Reynolds Golf Academy. The Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation will now be accessible to both Reynolds Plantation members and resort guests for the most state- of-the art-club fittings available. TaylorMade has also expanded the Kingdom’s service through the creation of the Putting Lab, a new high-performance putting studio.
The Kingdom is one of only two venues in the country where recreational golfers can be fit for equipment in the same environment used by PGA TOUR and club professionals on staff with TaylorMade-adidas Golf (TMaG). Its newest feature is the Quintic high-speed camera in the Putting Lab. Shooting at 250 frames per second, this camera has revolutionized custom putter fitting. The Putting Lab at Reynolds Plantation is one of the few in the country that makes it available to the public.
This new feature joins a battery of cutting edge fitting equipment at the Kingdom at Reynolds Plantation that includes:
- Club-fitting and swing analysis using the Motion Analysis Technology by TaylorMade (MAT-T)
- Use of the Trackman launch monitor technology that features Doppler Radar allows a TaylorMade Kingdom representative to validate the complete fitting process
- The ability to custom-build and deliver equipment made by a master club builder inside the TaylorMade Tour Trailer on site. The only other place this service is available is at the headquarters of TaylorMade in Carlsbad, California.
In addition to the new and improved services of the Kingdom, the Reynolds Golf Academy is also expanding, providing guests with more access to the world class instructional services provided by Golf Magazine Top 100 instructor Charlie King and his team of teachers. A new video analysis studio has been constructed directly adjacent to the Oconee golf shop and a dedicated area on the main practice tee has been established. These changes will provide an even more prominent platform for King to improve players through his New Rules of Golf instructional programs.
“Game improvement is a cornerstone of the Reynolds Plantation lifestyle,” said Mark Lammi, Vice President of Golf Operations for Reynolds Plantation. “The components of the Kingdom and Academy are world-class, but bring them together, as we are uniquely able to do, and our members and guests can receive one-of-a-kind instruction and club fitting experience. Then combine that with our unmatched variety of golf and our members and guests of Reynolds Plantation have a golf experience without comparison.”
The enhancements of The Kingdom and the Reynolds Golf Academy are the latest examples of the multi-million dollar renovation in progress at Reynolds Plantation. Nearly every facet of the award-winning residential golf community – from the six golf courses designed by the five legendary architects- Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, Rees Jones, Bob Cupp, and Jim Engh, to the AAA Five Diamond The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation – is being improved.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
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
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.”
