Exotics’ new line of irons in 2015 consists of the CB Pro Tungsten, which replaces the company’s CB PROh irons, as well as the EXi and EXd irons — replacements for Exotics’ E8 irons. They’re each made with new technologies to cater to the needs of different golfers.

CB Pro Tungsten irons

The CB Pro irons have hollow bodies, thin faces and are each made with a single W-Ni tungsten plates in the sole that weighs between 90 and 95 grams. The tungsten soles help lower center of gravity (CG), making them easier to launch.

The hollow cavities of the CB Pro Tungsten irons expands the sweet spot, increasing forgiveness and ball speed on off-center hits, and they have thin, 17-4 stainless steel faces that employ variable face thickness (VFT) technology. This means the center of the club is thicker than the areas on the face away from the sweet spot, giving off-center strikes a boost in speed.

The CB Pro irons (2-AW) are available in right-handed only, and the long irons in the set are available for individual purchase since the hollow-bodied, low CG designs make them great options to replace less forgiving long irons.

EXd irons

The EXd irons — “D” for distance — use several technologies to give golfers more distance and forgiveness. They have slots in the sole and an undercut cavity behind the face. The combination makes their faces very thin and hotter than their predecessors. Also, they utilize VFT technology to expand the sweet spot for greater ball speed on off-center strikes, and tungsten inserts behind the face on the heel and toe for a higher moment of inertia (MOI), a measure of the retention of ball speed on off-center hits.

The EXd irons are made from 431 stainless steel, with significant offset that will help golfers who tend to slice the ball square the face at impact, and a TPE insert in the cavity that is said to dampen sound and soften feel.

Shaft and pricing options

• $599.99: (4-AW) KBS Tour 90 (steel)
• $699.99: (4-AW) UST Mamiya Recoil (graphite)
• $799.99: (3,4 hybrids/5-PW) KBS Tour 90 (steel)
• $899.99: (3, 4 hybrids/5-PW) UST Mamiya Recoil (graphite)

EXi irons

Like the EXd irons, the EXi irons are made with slots in the sole, undercuts behind the face and VFT technology — but they have less offset, thinner top lines and do not have tungsten inserts on the toe and heel. These differences make the irons more workable than the EXd irons, which will better suit the preferences of better players.
