Golfspy_CG2 32,684 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Testers Announced! These are the forum members who will be testing the Tour Edge Exotics CBX 119 Hybrid: @fozcycle @MattF @bens197 @dhartmann34 ______________________________________________________ Hybrids have long been a love/hate club for many players. Many love them and the forgiveness they offer, and many hate them for their tendency to hook. Finding the perfect or even dependable hybrid is often an ever going process for many players. It's also not one you see a lot on the PGA Tour. But if you have spent any time watching the PGA Tour Champions over the past couple months, you no doubt have noticed two things. 1) A big tour presence by Tour Edge, in not only it's well established fairway woods, but more recently the Exotics CBX hybrid popping up in the bags of Scott McCarron and others. The club has been vital to McCarron as he has won two events in the last three weeks. What makes this hybrid so attractive, well we'll if a picture is worth 1,000 words, then a video must be worth at least 2,000. So see for yourself So there it is, we're looking for four testers to test, review and keep a Tour Edge Excotics CBX 119 hybrid of your choice. Follow the instructions below. Per the OEM's request this testing is open to Right Handed Golfers in the US. Do Not Quote this post in your entry: Doing so may lead to disqualification. Provide the following information: First Name/City, State Handicap/SS Current hybrid model Played What loft you think you would choose and why We'll be picking the testers sometime next week so check back to see if you've been selected.

PMookie 17,333 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Paul/Louisiana 6/115Callaway X2 Hot Pro 20*, GD Tour AD-DI 85XI’d try the 20* with the Even Flow Blue 6.5 to be able to get a close comparison to what I’m playing now, and keep a similar gapping. My X2 Hot Pro has been in the bag for 5 years, so it would be fun to give it some competition!!!

Sox Fan 32 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Scott / Thomasville, GA 5.5 / 95 Currently game the original Callaway Apex 4 hybrid The 22 degree CBX 119 would be my choice to upgrade that spot in my bag with newer tech. I play, and am happy with, fairway woods at lower lofts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmatteo 5 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 Lance/Millersville, Maryland 13.8/98mph Adams Red 20* I would choose the 18* so I can reach those longer Par 3's and 2nd shots on Par 5's as it would be easier to control and keep in play than a 3 metal.

J.B. TexasEx 307 Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) Jeff/Southlake, TX 13.3 HCP/102 MPH I don't currently game a hybrid because I can't find one that I like. Maybe the CBX will change my mind! I'd choose 20 degrees because I'd want it to replace my 3-iron. Edited May 24, 2019 by J.B.
