Tour Edge Exotics: 20 Years of Fairway Woods, Hybrids and Irons

Tour Edge Exotics is the premium line from Tour Edge, first released in 2005 with fairway woods and hybrids, and it has since grown to include drivers and irons. The line was started by David Glod, a former club professional who founded Tour Edge in 1986 and still serves as its chief designer. Exotics has a long history for a brand that sells without the huge tour staffs of the biggest names.

Where Exotics started

The original Exotics CB fairway woods used a process called Combo Brazing to join a titanium face to a stainless steel body. Tour Edge describes it as a first for a golf manufacturer, and the woods launched at $399.99. Later milestones include the XCG6 in 2013, the first Exotics driver with an adjustable hosel, and the 2018 CBX series, nicknamed the Spin Killers, which brought the line back to the professional tours with classic head shapes.

The newer generations

The EXS 220 in 2020 was the first Exotics series to use Diamond Face technology to raise ball speed across the face. The 721 series followed in 2021 with Ridgeback crown technology on the metalwoods and VIBRCOR on the irons. In 2025 the 725 series added Tour Edge's first 10k MOI driver and three Exotics irons. On the used market you will see a wide spread of generations, including XCG, C721, C722, EX9 and EX10 models, in hybrids and fairway woods especially.

Common questions

Are Exotics hybrids good for mid handicap players?

Many of them are. Models like the XCG and C722 hybrids are built for easier launch and forgiveness, while Tour versions suit faster swing speeds. Check the loft and shaft flex in each listing.

Did Exotics clubs win on the PGA Tour?

Tour Edge says Exotics fairway woods and hybrids were adopted by PGA Tour players without endorsement deals, and that Bernhard Langer won six tournaments with Exotics irons.
