The 2016 PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando is still over a month away, but the Batavia Illinois based Tour Edge Golf Company isn’t waiting for the show to let you know about all of the additions to their club line.

New drivers, fairway woods, hybrids and irons have all joined the Tour Edge line and are ready to help improve your game, each time you take it to the golf course.

Tour Edge has a line of putters and other golf accessories like golf bags.

Tour Edge EX9 Driver

Tour Edge has created two new drivers, the Exotics EX9 and the EX9 Tour Drivers.

A new full-speed impact design, creates what Tour Edge calls maximum club head through a sloped crown and a subtle sole design that optimizes the weight distribution.

EX9 drivers do come in four different club heads, with options to adjust loft, lie angles, in addition to a sole weight that is interchangeable. Which in turn gives the golfer a better sound at impact, along with more control and distance.

“On the new EX9 models we moved the center of gravity much deeper in the head for super high MOI numbers,” said David Glod, president and founder of Tour Edge Golf. “This translates into our lowest spinning drivers to date and a greatly increased sweet zone for longer drives from all areas of the face.”

The EX9 standard driver has a 460cc draw enhancing clubhead available in 10 or 12 degrees designed to give, high-flying drives. The Tour model is a pear-shaped 430cc head with a deeper face to release Exotics low-spin power with a faster ball speed. The Tour driver comes in 9 or 10 degree heads. Adjustable weight screws can be purchased as one kit, with 3-9-11 gram weights. Suggested retail EX9 $299.99 and EX9 Tour Driver is $399.99 comes in a variety of shafts.

EX9 Fariway Tour Wood

Tour Edge continues with new additions in fairway woods with the EX9 fairway wood, and the EX9 Tour model fairway wood.

Features Tour Edge calls a sloped crown and Slip Stream sole, should maximize club head speed. The heal weight like on the driver is interchangeable. Tour Edge says the gentle sloped crown reduces drag for added club head speed at impact for better distance.

The sole design has “waves” from front to back that is expected to reduce turf contact, for a more powerful impact.

Suggested retail on the EX9 fairway wood is $229.99 and the club is now available. The EX9 Tour fairway wood has a smaller head than the EX9 which is done for less spin. Both fairway woods come in a gloss black, but have different loft ranges and those are adjustable. The EX9 Tour fairway wood is $299.99 but has more options on grips and shafts.

EXOTICS EX9 HYBRID  The new EX9 Hybrid comes with improved forgiveness than previous models. A heavier sole produces a lower center of gravity that is intended to help golfers be able to better launch a shot from any turf condtion.

The shafts are a UST Mamiya Recoil shaft. With the 450 and 460 shafts designed for players needing a lightweight option to improve club head speed and obtain a higher ball flight and maximum distance. The 670 and 680 shafts are for golfers needing to increase club head speed with a lightweight option, with a ball flight of mid-high, and more distance.

EX9 Hybrid is 2 (17o), 3 (19o), 4 (22o), 5 (25o), 6 (28o). Suggested price is $159.99.

EXi Tour Edge Irons

The new Tour Edge Exotics Irons come in three lines, an EXd, Exi, and CB PRO Tungsten. Each of the lines Tour Edge says are designed with technology to make your golf game better.

EXd Irons feature a free standing face, and a (VFT) Variable Face Thickness design that gives a greater spring effect for more forgiveness. The Long irons 3-6 have stronger lofts and a low center of gravity. Suggested retail $599.99 (4-AW) Tour 90 steel shafts $699.99, (4-AW) UST Mamiya Recoil Graphite, $799.99 2×6 Combo (3-4hyrbids 5-PW) KBS Tour 90 steel add $100 for graphite on this combo.

The EXi Irons are a more traditional shape, and with less offset, designed with more feel and control with added distance. The sole behind the face is thinner. Which Tour Edge says leaves a softer feel at impact. Pricing same as above per steel and graphite.

CB PRO Tungsten irons Tour Edge says are their most technologically designed Exotic Irons ever. The technology mixes a hollow construction with progressive tungsten sole weighting for players that must have forgiveness, control and distance. Long Iorns are available individually.

Each CB PRO Tungsten Iron 2-AW. is hollow from the top line down to the sole to produce a more active face. Exotics hollow Irons expand the sweet spot so it feels like a purely struck shot on every swing.

Suggested retail is $799.99, (3-PW) KBS Tour 90 steel. $899.99 for UST Mamiya Graphite. Individuals irons $99 steel or $119 for graphite.
