Tour Edge Exotics Metals 721
These upgrades to Tour Edge Exotics are built around the new Diamond Face 2.0 Technology.
But with the help of the Ridgeback support system, this system allows for more ball speed on off-center hits with a higher launch with lower spin. So when you add a perfected sound and feel, the Exotics 721 metals, delivers on all fronts.
Tour Edge founder and President David Glod says, “it’s a brand-new direction in Exotics performance, including a major emphasis on full-face power creation, sound and feel.”

Glod adds, “the key was utilizing more carbon fiber than we have ever used, about 20% more on the driver and fairway.”
“We have also upgraded our Diamond Face tech to Diamond Face 2.0, which has doubled the amount of interweaving variable thickness and an extreme thinning of the face to create more power and forgiveness at the extreme perimeters.”

What Tour Edge has done with this new driver, is to deliver a product with an optimized CG (Center of Gravity) with an extreme M.O.I. (Moment of Inertia) properties. So this has created the most advanced driver Tour Edge has ever produced.
The Ridgeback technology is a power producer. It runs from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the clubhead.
The increased Carbon Fiber is a 19% gain over past drivers, while the CG has been lowered by 13% to increase launch, and lower spin in the process.
Part of the new look includes the Dual Carbon Wings. Engineers designed Ridgeback to place extra titanium from the crown and sole, with wrap-around Dual Carbon Wings that create weight savings that allowed for a precise and strategically placed CG location. Allowing for weight to be moved to a low-rearward position, which helped produce extreme M.O.I in the clubhead.
But to get more ball speed, Tour Edge designed the Diamond Face 2.0 Technology-with diamond shapes for variable face thickness behind the club face to act as a mini-trampoline. Creating faster ball speed and to increase the sweet spot to the outer faces.
There is an adjustable rear backweight- A 10 gram weight at the extreme rear of the clubhead to help position the perfected CG and optimize the M.O.I.. But custom individual weights of 5-15 and 18 grams for the driver will be made available for purchase.
Tour Edge is using a Beta-Titanium Face/8-1-1 Titanium Body-the high grade BTF is a higher strength Japanese metal that produces greater power. The lower-density and lighter 8-1-1 Titanium used in the body of the driver, provides faster ball speeds, making C721 the fastest driver ever designed by Tour Edge.
The adjustable Hosel creates lofts of 9.5, 10.5 and 12.5, but with a range from 7.5 to 14 degrees. Shaft recommendations based on your swing speed are available. Lampkin Crossline 360 Gray grips come in Undersized, Standard or Midsize.

The C721 fairway metal comes with the same improvements as the C721 driver.
But loft availability in right handed clubs, are set at 13.5, 15, 16.5. Five woods come at 18 degrees, with a 7 wood at 21 degrees. So don’t forget to stay clicked in for more updates on Tour Edge Golf Clubs, coming soon.
