TWar Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Ok so I just did a fitting here in Denver to look at some different shaft options. My fitter led me down the path of a Hybrid 20* Exotics. First time I had ever hit one and was really impressed. That led me to try their 3wd offering as well. Was equally impressed. I decided to try the rogue as well and ended up getting exact same dispersion but a little longer in carry with Exotics. I was in shock. Literally have never hit an Exotics before and can't believe I hadn't now after hitting. I didn't try the driver as the fitter said it was like a bomb going off. So who has experience with Exotics and what is your feedback? Thanks in advance!

DPattGolf Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Hit exotics fairway woods a couple times and it can definitely hold its own against other brands. Still important to hit a things from a bunch of brands but they are definitely worth being included to find what is best for you. * Staff Professional* Driver: Stealth Plus+ (7.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Black 6X Tipped 1" 3 Wood: Stealth Plus+ (14.25*) - Fujikura Ventus Blue 7x Tipped 1" Driving Iron: P790 UDI 2 iron - HZRDUS Smoke Black RDX 100 6.5 4 Iron: P790 - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (5-7) P7MC - KBS C-Taper 130 X Irons (8-P) P7MB - KBS C-Taper 130 X Wedges: MG3 Black 50.09 / 55.11 - KBS TOUR FLT 130 X 60* Wedge: High Toe Raw - KBS Tour 130 X Putter: Custom Black ER2 or Custom Black Del Monte Bag: FlexTech Stand Bag Glove: Tour Preferred Glove Ball: TP5X #11 RangeFinder: R1 Smart Rangefinder Instagram: @dpattgolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWar Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 I agree. I have never really considered them probably bc they are not in my face with marketing. Glad I tried them out.

cnosil Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Most known for their fairway woods but they offer solid clubs throughout the bag. I have a 3 wood in my bag and when I went to Club Champion we didn't find anything that could beat it.

HardcoreLooper Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have a TEE XCG6 13* 3 wood. It's a beast. It's basically a 2 wood. It's also difficult for me to control. I experiment with it from time to time, and when I'm swinging well, it's fun to have in the bag. A 15* probably would have made more sense, but I picked this up cheap from 3 Balls. What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (13.5*) - 980F 4 Wood (18*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) 52* - CBX 58* - CBX Full Face 2 Putter - Craz-e Bag - 2.5 (Blue) Ball - AVX Instagram - @hardcorelooper Twitter - @meovino Facebook - mike.eovino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWar Posted March 16, 2018 Author Share Posted March 16, 2018 Thanks for the replies. Good to hear there is a solid following. I was surprised though that the Rogue 4wd and the Exotics 4wd was the same price from the fitter. I also hit their hybrid which I feel outperformed my current hybrid.

Exotics unfortunately doesn't hold value and can generally be picked up inexpensively on the used market. For example the XCG-7 beta in my bag cost me $50 used and as I mentioned was equal or better than what CC could offer.

It's wild to me that's the case because those club flat out perform, but then again I got mine on sale at RBG and have always looked at maybe going in for another.

Right I just look at the amount of marketing money spent by Tour Edge (commercials, app advertising, player sponsorship, etc. - all the reasons why we hear that large OEM's charge "X" for their product) and find it hard to believe that they are priced comparably to the newly released Callaway Rogue. No doubt the Exotic performs but I was surprised it put itself at the same price point as a large OEM. Either way it performs and if it works for the player, it works. I would bet their overall profitability is great on units sold.

downlowkey Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Does the title of this thread remind anyone else of pillow talk? Talk exotics to me, baby! Before the ridicule begins; yes, my comments on the subject are most likely indicative of desperate need for a girlfriend.

cnosil Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Went into my local shop today and they must have recently gotten a visit from the rep. They had demo drivers, fairways, hybrids, and irons. Also saw a few used exotics wedges. Didn't swing anything, but they are nice looking clubs.

McaseyM Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I had a CB4 4 wood but screwed myself by putting an x stiff shaft into it. I've personally had better experience with their fairway woods versus their drivers, but that's me.

Weekend_Warrior Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I play one of their 3 woods. I'll echo what some others have said; it's a great club with exceptional distance. Sometimes I wonder why I even keep a driver in the bag. Something I don't know if others have mentioned is the lifetime warranty. One day I teed off with the 3 wood and it felt like a mishit, when I leaned over to pick up my tee and used the club to sort of balance myself the shaft broke off right at the hosel. I was bummed, but when I went to the golf shop where I got it to get the shaft replaced, they told me about the lifetime warrantee and took care of it for free, and it wasn't a cheap shaft.
