Exotics EX10 Fairway Wood Review
A cult favorite for years goes mainstream
Every company comes up with a snappy
slogan.
For Tour Edge it is "Golf’s Most Solid
Investment". A
few swings with their new Exotics EX10 Fairway
wood and you will agree.
The EX10 employs its Material Advantage to
match unique materials with a new face
construction
that results in greater ball speeds and distance
for
golfers of all abilities. The EX10 uses a Japanese
high density steel called HT 980 in a cup face
design
that allowed its engineers to make the face
thinner
than in any of its previous metal woods. The club
faces also have variable face thickness (VFT), a
design that offers multiple levels of thickness on
different areas of the face that help keep launch
speed high on off center hits, especially in the
heel
and toe areas.

The EX10’s sleek, black aerodynamic look is
a
confidence builder and the lower and deeper CG,
accompanied by Exotics signature Slipstream
sole,
easily sweeps the ball off of any turf conditions.
A
9 gram sole weight in the back of the club
provides
stability throughout the hit and for those who
want
customization; a weight kit including a 6-gram,
11-
gram and 14-gram weight is available for
purchase
to increase or decrease the swing weight.
The EX10 comes with several premium
shafts
and the Graphite Design Tour AD50
complements the
clubs advanced technologies beautifully. It is a
perfect pairing as the Tour AD50 utilizes
premium,
aerospace quality 50t carbon-fiber material for
greater control, stability and a tight dispersion.
Tour Edge and Exotics has been a cult favorite
for
years, blending cutting edge technology with a
no
holds bar search for the best available materials.
It
has taken me several years to replace my
current
fairway wood but the EX10 has finally kicked my
old
one- the Exotics CB-Pro- out of the bag.
The EX10 fairway wood is available in 13,
15,
16.5, 18 and 21 degree lofts and has a
suggested
retail price of $249.99.
