Tour Edge Exotics CB Pro and XCG7 Drivers and Fairway Woods: In-hand pics

[amateur pro]

So is the pro vented at the bottom like it looks or are the slots not really slots, just the sole in a wavy pattern? Could be a dry fairway only club...unless you want to instantly add swing weight!

[Muddler]

It says "limited edition," so I imagine the wavy-gravy bottom is the custom/collectible bit. I wonder what the divots look like.

 

I think all these clubs look great. I could do without the Exotics name plastered on the crown, but I guess that's the way the market's going.

Oh wait, Tour Edge is based in or near Chicago, so the sole is probably a reference to the Aqua building, which in an iconic wavy skyscraper there:

Liking the look of the beta, really not sure about the wavy sole of cb pro, but sure it will perform, hope it is not aggravating to keep clean.

[JOHN GOLIA]

Wow!!!!!!!!
Better call my Rep now.
Can I grade my cheese on that?
Must Try. There is some great stuff coming out for 2014 for this club Ho.

[PowerPlayer]

Their argument is probably going to be that it improves aerodynamics and decreases drag to produce faster club-head speed by emulating wind wave patterns or something along those lines. Sexy offerings though.

[rtraudt]

The cb is at least something that will be tried by all, based on sheer curiosity regarding the sole. I know I sure will, and I just bought an XHot pro a week ago!

[ladahl]

Not sure why, but I want one of e CBs

[DON SVO]

That reminds me, I forgot to shave this morning. BRB.

TEE makes some great looking clubs. Too bad I hit my XCG-3 too well to try any of the new stuff!

Woah didnt expect the ripples! Can't wait to hear more...

Very interesting. Is it possible that it keeps the clubhead online through the hit by interacting with the turf? Maybe I'm reaching.... lol

Better hope not. With your open face at impact you'd leave it right all day!!

[chiguy]

Love the looks of this. I'd definitely give it a shot.

[ProjectX]

Would love to hear the marketing speak on this CB. It's a polarizing design no doubt. 100% a feast or famine club for TEE.

[is1ander]

I was thinking it could be like a rudder through the turf but there are too many if you compare it to a truly aquatic application. Still, seems to be a fascinating design and may be a breakthrough in club design if it indeed does straighten out shots.

...and would be ruled illegal in no time if it conclusively did so.

[brentk14]

Has TEE said anything about the cb tour?I think the bottom looks scary and odd, but I'm intrigued none the less.

[My2Dogs]

Always like the Exotics line and that Tour Pro looks very nice. Would love to see how it compares to my XHP 3 wood but $500 for a FW wood is asking a lot. Even if its longer by 10 yards is that worth the extra $300 difference between the XHP?

[DT15]

Holy cheese grater batman! Better add some tooth picks and cotton swabs to my golf bag. That beta driver is gorgeous imo

That pricing must surely relate to the driver??. No matter how good the fairway is, they are gonna struggle to shift any volume at more than $300 and even that will be a stretch. They make a GREAT fairway product though and these look to be equally good.

Why the ripples on the sole grooves? This could either make a big wave in the competitive fairway wood/ driver replacement category, or be one of those "remember that one club TEE made a few years back with the wild comb thing on the bottom?". Interested to read more and see it in person. It looks like it could have potential, but also looks like I wouldn't be surprised if it went the other way.

Anal Club Cleaners would go insane keeping this clean on the course.

913FD w/ a Fuji Pro95 cost you 450 out the door, high dollar fw's are out there paired with some exotic shaft combos. Im sure 3 deep, RBZ Stg 2 with an exotic shaft or upgrade is close to that price?

That's why I had to settle with a used 906f with the pro95, cost about 375 cheaper.

As someone else state, the Tour Exotic products are under rated cannons, prob the most under rated OEM , them or Mizunio. I beat this flat out performs.

TEE fairways used to be awesome because they were the only ones that were actually a high COR fairway wood outside component clubs. Now that almost all OEMs are making the same things (whether it be the RBZ, XHot Pro, etc) TEE has lost their edge in that category. They'll need something else to pitch on why their fairway woods are $300 vs something else that is $180 like an XHP. I still have a CB1 4 wood that I love and won't get rid of, but the XHP I have beats it in every single category possible.

[Noke]

if this innovation does indeed prove to retain clubhead speed through impact, then voila- tour edge jumps to the front of the pack once again regarding fairway wood distance.

[lettucebcereal]

Looks weird, but I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot!

[Sean25rp]

Is the CB pro just one loft? Also anyone have a release date?

[/quote]13.5*,14.5*,15.5*.16.5* and 17.5*. Not sure on the release date. Most of the new stuff is supposed to start shipping around 11/1

Thanks very much!

[driverhead]

The sole plate on the FW is definately very interesting. I will try it for sure.

[bpark1210]

I'm more excited to see the return of the L-E-G-E-N-------D-A-R-Y Speeder 757!!

[Birdies&Eagles]

Why would this be limited edition? Would be really cool to see it in production I think TourEdge quietly makes the best woods in the game
