Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 25,107 Posted April 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2019 How good can a $299 Driver be? How much technology can a company offer for that price? TourEdge's EXS driver was recently named My Golf Spy's Most Wanted Driver in Value. A $299 price for a driver is enough to get anyone's attention. But upon a closer look, you see a great looking driver that offers a lot of the same technology offered in much higher priced offerings, such as Roll Face technology, adjustable hosel and interchangeable weights just to name a few. So as we often do, we are turning to three of our members who we know will provide a well informed and written account of the driver and what it did for them. The chosen testers will get a driver to their specs to review and keep. How to be chosen: Open to all US Residents who play Right-handed Please follow the instructions below exactly. First Name/State of Residence Current Drive specs Model/loft/shaft/Flex Your handicap and driver swing speed, and do your regularly use any sort of LM for data collection Have you played a Tour Edge driver before, and what was your experience. We'll pick our testers sometime next week, so check back and good luck. ------------------------------------------------- Testers announced! @03trdblack, @ZJBogey2, @Badams69 will be putting this beauty to the test.

Have you played a Tour Edge driver before, and what was your experience. I have been using my Tour Edge for 4 seasons, and it was a game changer. I tested against several name brands and it came out ahead. I was missing several to the right so I made a hosel adjustment and it got even better. Better carry distance/dispersion, etc. The hosel screw is stripped a bit so it rattles, but I still hit it well. I recently tested an S-Flex EXS (all that was available) against X Flex TM, Callaway, Cobra, and Ping, and the EXS held it's own, average ball speed around 150.

I've currently got a Tour Edge Exotics Super metal XJ1 shafted with a Diamana Kai'li stiff which replaced the air speeder in my club inventory. Had to hotmelt it a bit to get the head weight up but now it sounds and feels amazing. Very consistent club although the spin is a tad bit higher than I probably need. Love the look of the top with the carbon fiber. The face is a little closed looking. My bag is a revolving door! Link to post Share on other sites
