Tour Edge launches Exotics SCG-V Tour Spec fairway

Tour Edge Exotics has released a mouthful of a new fairway wood, the SCG-V Tour Spec Fairway. We've not tested it but in the past, the Exotics line was the longest fairway we'd tried. For some testers, it flew farther than a driver on some swings.

The new fairway is designed for better players and the company hopes it will keep it in the headlines. Recently, Tour Edge Exotics was used by a top five player the Memorial Tournament and a third place finisher at the LPGA State Farm classic.

So far this year, the brand was used by 10 golfers on the PGA, Senior or LPGA tours who finished in the top 10.

To keep those kinds of stats, Tour Edge engineers built the new fairway by focusing on reducing weight and optimizing weight distribution to create what the company says is the longest-hitting, best-feeling fairway wood in golf.

The Tour Spec features a purpose-built titanium cup face, an ultra-light magnesium crown, and a heavy, high-density steel sole plate – a unique combination in club design. The magnesium crown and titanium cup face allow more of the club head’s weight to rest in the heavy steel sole. In fact, the Tour Spec’s smaller pear-shaped head design, taller face, and perfectly executed weight distribution move the CG location closer to the face for a more penetrating ball flight and tour-preferred trajectory.

The result? Lower spin rates and a more penetrating ball flight.

The heavy, high-density steel sole plate and its unique v-shape shift more weight to the heel and toe. This creates a deeper CG angle and CG point that help the club face square at impact with more force for a quick launch and longer, hotter, more accurate shots.

Retailing for $369.99, the XCG-V Tour Specs is in stores now.
