Tour Edge Announces New Exotics Ti-Utility Iron

Tour Edge has announced the launch of their new Exotics Ti-Utility Iron, a Titanium faced hollow-body iron-wood with a compact and classic shape designed to combine the workability of a traditional forged iron and the distance of a metalwood.

The EXS Ti-Utility hollow-body iron features a Beta Titanium L-Cup Face that’s Combo Brazed onto a 431-stainless steel body, producing the ultimate in perimeter weighting fueled distance and forgiveness.

Combo Brazing is a zero-welding technology that fuses Titanium to steel, reducing weight in the face and allowing for a faster and more powerful transfer of energy from club to ball.

The face of the Ti-Utility is softer and hotter than previous Exotics utility iron designs, producing maximum face flex, faster ball speeds, lower spin and optimal sound and feel properties.

The lighter face also allows for a deeper C.G. (Center of Gravity) so the sole can be narrower for the ideal presentation at address, while still being extremely easy to hit and launch due to the hollow-body design providing optimal perimeter weight distribution.

“Tour Edge Exotics utility irons have seen a meteoric rise, becoming one of the most played utility irons on the professional tours,” said Tour Edge President and Master Club Designer David Glod. “I have a great feeling that the EXS Ti-Utility will be in play by many of the best players in the world.”

A rounded hybrid-style sole combined with beveled leading edge allows the club to glide easily through any turf condition. Another new edition is the notch hosel that allows bending up or flat lies +/- 3 degrees for expert custom fitting.

The #2/17-degree,#3/19-degree,#4/22-degree and #5/25-degree are the perfect alternatives to replace harder-to-hit traditional long irons.

All lofts will be available in two different finishes; Chrome Silver and Black Pearl.

The Exotics Ti-Utility will be featured at the 2020 PGA Merchandise Show and will be available for purchase worldwide on April 1, 2020. They will carry a retail price of $199.99.

“This is a wonderful new design and shape for a utility iron,” said Glod. “The new Combo Brazed Titanium face allowed us to take large amount of weight out of the sole and back of the clubhead, allowing the clubhead to be more compact than our extremely popular, tour-winning CBX Iron-Wood. These changes have taken what was already a beloved utility iron and will turn it into an absolute game-changer.”

Tour Edge ranked as the No. 1 utility brand in play at the season finale Charles Schwab Cup Championship, the 2nd playoff event in a row that Tour Edge ranked as the No. 1 utility iron brand. It was the 8th time the Exotics CBX Iron-Wood ranked as the No.1 Most Played utility iron model on the 2019 PGA Tour Champions.

SpeedTested Shaft System

Every shaft in the EXS 220 Series has been SpeedTested to find the optimal custom shaft pairing for every flex, proven by robotic testing and validated by player testing. Tour Edge R&D tested an extensive range of market-leading shafts with the Tour Edge Developmental robot (T.E.D.) to determine the best performing custom shafts for every swing flex/speed.

“This new way of looking at how to pair custom shafts is unique to the industry,” said Glod. “We have invested heavily in R&D and one of the first things we did with our new in-house swing robot was to test at different speeds. This has led us to do a bit of pre-custom shaft fitting for anyone buying EXS 220.”

“Our testing showed that the performance of a shaft at a certain swing speed performed much better than at another speed in almost every speed test we did,” said Glod. “It made perfect sense to us to offer the best performing stock shaft per flex and speed, instead of the traditional approach of assigning one family of shafts to all flexes that perform differently at different speeds.”
