Tour Edge has long been a great under-the-
radar golf manufacturer, producing quality golf
equipment with innovative technologies. If
you are an accomplished
player looking for a new fairway wood, the
Tour Exotics CB Pro is one to consider.
FIRST REACTION
The Exotics CB line is geared towards the
lower handicap golfer, and the CB Pro falls
right in line. The CB PRO combines the smaller
head size of the
brand's tour-winning CB2 to create a classic-
appearing looking fairway wood. The club has
a simple black crown and a less-is-more look
by having no
graphics or alignment aides. The club screams
“old school,” and we consider that a good
thing.
SPECS
What’s new is the patent-pending Slip Stream
sole™ technology. You instantly notice it when
you look at the sole of the club. The
technology is designed to
reduce the turf interaction so as to maintain
club speed through impact under all turf
conditions. Visually, the Slip Stream looks like
waves in the ocean and at first
blush, looks a little gimmicky. But after several
swings off of fairway, hard pan and rough,
you’ll be comfortable with the Slip Stream. It
glides through the turf
effortlessly as if every shot is teed up.
The CB Pro features Tour Edge’s premium beta
titanium cup face that is combo-brazed to a
heavier hyper-steel body designed to produce
maximum distance. The
forward-positioned center of gravity delivers a
powerful, penetrating trajectory yet comes
down soft enough to hold the green.
The CB Pro comes with some great upgrades,
mostly in the shaft. The stock shaft for the
CB Pro is the genuine Fujukura Speeder 661
and 757 series. These
shafts are tour proven for performance, control
and distance. A nice added touch is a Stitch
leather headcover.
TAKEAWAYS
The Tour Edge CB Pro is a classic fairway wood
designed for the better player. Center hits fly
off the clubface proving that this new
technology lives up to its
billing. Retailing at $500, the CB Pro is perhaps
the most expensive fairway wood on the
market. But when you take into account the
genuine Fujikura shaft, and
leather headcover, you are getting all this
technology for a lot less than other products
on the market.
Bottom line is that the CB Pro is a dynamic
looking and dynamic performing fairway wood
designed for the better player.
The CB Pro comes in lofts from 13.5 to 17.5
degrees in R,S and X flex.
