Guaranteed 20 Yard's Longer - Tour Edge's New CB3 Tour Fairway Wood.

 

Batavia, IL - From the beginning, Exotics fairway woods have inspired both tour pros and amateurs alike. Now, in the tradition of the popular CB2, the Exotics design team is proud to introduce the next generation: the CB3. In fact, Tour Edge is so proud of the CB3, they are guaranteeing it is 20-yards longer than your current fairway wood.

 

Improving on the past, the CB3 Tour boasts a forged 15-3-3-3 titanium cupped face that is lighter and more powerful, delivering undeniable real-world performance. The club's new and improved variable face thickness includes a thinner perimeter ring around the striking surface. This makes it the thinnest fairway wood face in golf and produces one of the longest hitting, best feeling Exotics fairway woods yet.

 

The club's breathtaking looks and jaw-dropping performance compliment its traditional design that combines a high-tech, titanium cupped face with a heavier hyper steel body. Focusing entirely on performance, every single gram of excess weight is eliminated from the face area and shifted to the rear skirt and sole for a deeper center of gravity.

 

Just like previous versions, the CB3 Tour utilizes our revolutionary no-weld Combo-Brazing process. The two dissimilar metals, titanium and steel, are chemically treated, pressed together, and vacuum heat cured for permanent bonding without welding. The intrinsic quality of the process is unparalleled, resulting in a lower and deeper center of gravity, greater spring off-the face, unheard of feel, and a pure energy transfer that's not possible from a traditional welded club head.

 

For the ultimate in workability, the CB3 Tour has a smaller tour preferred, classic pear shaped head, lower spin rate, and a higher center of gravity location that promotes a more explosive launch from any lie.

 

Tour Edge invites you to take the distance challenge and discover for yourself the extra distance you've been waiting for. If the CB3 Tour fairway wood doesn't deliver 20-extra yards to your game you can return it under the company's 30-day play guarantee for a store credit or refund depending on the retailer's policy. The fairway wood sells for $299 and comes with a Fujikura Motore Tour White graphite shaft. All Tour Edge clubs come with lifetime warranty.

Never played a Exotics club myself but here's the link to see this club:

I love my older model Exotics 3W. +20 yards, not really seeing that, but the distance off a tee is huge.

Long and straight off the grass.

Maybe MGS can run a expose' on the 20 yard claim...

[Matt Saternus]

I demoed 2 or 3 different models of Tour Edge 3W's last summer and while they were good, they were not 20 yards longer than the R9 or my V-Steel.

[Moecat]

Tim, it looks like business as usual in the marketing world

[GolfSpy Dave]

If you have never hit one, give it a swing. Again, I can't document any distance claim, but the feel at impact and the tone are very pleasing. Tracman would be interesting though.

I would like to see their claim debunked, it would be a good read.

Would you also like to read it supported? Maybe they have data supporting it? Keep that open mind.

I guess, but it is always a little more fun to find a gimmick.

I don't think there's anything gimmicky about their clubs, I think they're really high quality, in fact. I think they just went a bit overboard with this claim.

[JohnBarry]

Marketing, nothing more.

[TWShoot67]

You know it.... if all those claims that TM has had over the years since the BUBBLE SHAFT Titanium Drivers. I would be able to drive every par 4 ever made! LOL

[Jballmn]

Looks like I'll be buying a new 3 wood!

[GolfSpy Dave]

Blasted the crap out of my exotics 3W on the range this afternoon. If you are in the market for a 3W, I wouldn't laugh off the possibility immediately.

[TWShoot67]

I wasn't trying to bash any OEM. I'm just stating how pretty amazing how they say they guarantee it. How do you guarantee anything in Golf except maybe for warranty issues. As far as performance goes, every club that's come out over the last say 10 years has been saying the same thing like 10, 20 30 yard gains. Now if we go back to their original club that was stated as going lets say 250 yards for a driver . Well with all these gains we should be hitting balls 400 off the tee that's all I was trying to say. Hey all I've heard from many different players that Exotic woods are hot. But I've also heard in some forums that Adams 5050 was the longest and so on and so on. So i guess i'll start another topic and see what everyone thinks!

 

Tim

[Tony Covey MGS]

Not for anything, but how many of you really need to hit your 3 &/or 5 wood 20 yards longer? For me that's a 260-270 yard 3 wood (best case of course), and a 240-250 yard 5 wood. The next club in my bag is my 3 hybrid, which I usually don't get more than 215 out of. That's more of a gap than I want.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not in favor of short clubs, but beyond the driver, I think distance is over-rated. You don't need to hit everything 200+ yards. There's a reason why we carry 14 clubs.

Yah I see that Tim. I am probably overly protective of Exotics because I just bought mine three weeks ago...

Maybe they need to add a YMMV clause to the claim.

That would instantly be my favorite golf ad ever, simply for the honesty:

 

"20 Yard Longer, GUARANTEED...YMMV."

[NGage]

After years of hearing the lore of the TE 3wd's, I finally bought a CB1 and CB2 at the end of last season. Initial testing showed that....I'd need more testing. I'll give them a good run through as soon as the weather turns, and see what I think.

[JohnBarry]

I would put my 08 Burner 3 wood up against it any time!

Well put. IMO everything except the driver is all about filling distance gaps.

[MmmmmmBuddy]

Do it, and you will end up about 20 yards short...

Oh Snap!

Just may mean you only need the 3wood and you can add an extra wedge and get rid of driver as many weekend golfers can't hit their drivers anyway and they should concentrate more on short game anyway!

[Addicted2Golf]

I would pit it against my Adams BUL and let the chips fall where they may.... if they'd send me one to demo.

Tour Edge is in Illinois, they ought to hook you up.

[caddyjoe77]

i have a CB1 with a Pro95 that was my gamer for over 2 years. I recently tried the wishon 949 with a speeder 952....this club is easier to hit off all lies...including bare ones. This is something that the CB1 was not good at IMO. The 949 is just as long, max COR.

[Addicted2Golf]

Added that to my list of post April 1 to-do's. The list is getting long.

Yeah, the CB1 is a monster and a beloved club among better players no doubt, but it isn't known for its forgiveness off the deck.

I want a 240-260ish yd 3wd to go with my 225-240ish 2-hybrid...from there I go to my 220ish 3-hybrid, and from there to my 200-210 4 iron....and on down.
