Exotics launches EX9 Tour fairway woods and hybrids

Published

on

Tour Edge has launched its new Exotics EX9 Tour fairway woods and hybrids, which join the recently launched EX9 and EX9 Tour drivers, and EX9 fairway woods and hybrids in the company’s EX9 line.

Compared to the EX9 fairway woods and hybrids, the EX9 Tour models have more compact club heads that are designed to launch the ball lower and with less spin.

Learn more about the newest offerings from Exotics below.

The EX9 Tour fairway wood, much like the EX9 fairway woods, were developed with features Exotics calls “Full Speed Impact” — a system designed to create more speed and distance. It includes Exotics’ SlipStream sole, which has a wave-like design and a shorter length than its predecessors to reduce turf interaction for more speed. Also, a new Power Grid behind the club face was made to be deeper and narrower than previous versions to increase ball speeds across the face, and works in conjunction with 15-3-3-3 metastable beta titanium cup faces.

Housed in the sole is an interchangeable 9-gram weight. Weights of 6, 11 and 14 grams are available for golfers looking to dial in a specific swing weight.

The EX9 Tour fairway woods have 150cc club heads, smaller than the standard EX9 woods. They’re are available in lofts of 13, 15 and 17 degrees, have have eight-way adjustable hosels that allow golfers to tweak lie angle and loft in 0.5-degree increments.

If you’re a high-spin player who needs a more penetrating ball flight or wants a more compact head shape, the Tour version is what you’ll want to test. Suggested retail is $299, and the fairway woods come stock with Aldila Rogue Silver (60 and 70 grams), or Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana (S+, M+, and D+) shafts and a Black Lamkin Exotics UTx cord grip.

While the EX9 hybrids were designed for maximum distance and forgiveness, the EX9 Tour hybrids are designed to produce the flatter, more iron-like ball flight that many better players prefer from their hybrids. They also have smaller, pear-shaped heads that range in size from 111cc to 115cc.

The hybrids also have a new titanium face plate that’s brazed to their hyper-steel bodies, and the club faces are designed with “Variable Face Thickness,” increasing average ball speed across the face. Like the EX9 Tour fairway woods, they have a SlipStream sole for less friction at impact, and a Power Grid that’s deeper and narrower for higher ball speeds.

EX9 Tour hybrids are available in lofts of 16.5 (111cc), 18 (113cc) and 20 (115cc) and come stock with a UST Mamiya Recoil 780 ES shaft. Suggested retail is $199.

Both the EX9 Tour fairway woods and hybrids will be in stores Nov. 15.

    Those shafts options are amazing!! Love the options! Can’t wait to try these bad boys, I like the square type hybrid. I have yet to purchase an Exotics club and this may be the first!

Neal Shipley, AKA, the “Big Fridge’s,” custom stamping

Published

on

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.

That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.

On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.

“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”

On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”

“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.

Check out Shipley’s full what’s in the bag and the rest of his wedge stampings here on “Inside the Ropes” from Colonial.
