Tour Edge Exotics E722 Fairway Wood
A reader recently asked about another Tour Edge review that I didn’t even realize we never did. As I dutifully started working on that review, I realized another massive shock. Not only was I missing that review, but I didn’t have my review of the Tour Edge Exotics E722 fairway wood up either! This was especially mind blowing to me because I absolutely fell in love with this club and it actually ended up being my gamer for the 2022 season. I genuinely thought the review was posted, but alas, it was not. Though designed for “extreme forgiveness”, the Tour Edge Exotics E722 fairway wood is packed with premium technology and performance for any player looking for easy launch and big distance.
True, the new lineup is just around the corner, but this club served me well and deserves its time in the limelight!
The Looks
If there’s one thing Tour Edge knows how to do, it’s making a good looking fairway wood. The 722 series is easily their best yet, which of course makes me very curious to see how they top themselves in the next generation. Since the E722 fairway wood is designed to be more “confidence-inducing”, the head shape is a bit “fuller” but not huge at all. I’d put it right at moderate with with a nice round shape and medium depth. The black face and glossy black top line flow nicely into a carbon crown. That carbon fiber crown keeps the top of the club light so most of the weight is located in the sole of the club. This positions the center of gravity (CG) low in the head for higher launch and MOI. More on that later.
How Does it Feel?
From the first time I hit the Tour Edge Exotics E722 fairway wood I was impressed with how smooth it felt. The high MOI gives it great balance and the Ryzersole is incredibly smooth through the turf. This is no accident, of course. Ryzersole is a rail that runs from the leading edge of the club to the trailing edge. This places the CG low in the head (and in the back thanks to the adjustable weight) as well as decreases turf interaction. So as you sweep a ball off the deck, the club slips through nice and clean while staying effortlessly under control.
According to the ultimate authority, Wikipedia, maraging steels are known for “for possessing superior strength”. Tour Edge uses this type of metal on the face of the E722 fairway wood for its strength, and combine this with the Diamond Face VFT, there’s a lot of pop. Diamond Face VFT is a pattern of diamond shapes behind the face of the club which act as “mini trampolines” to produce more ball speed. As a more forgiving club, the sweet spot is generous and you can feel the ball really jump off of a good portion of the face.
How Does it Sound?
Per usual, the Tour Edge Exotics E722 fairway wood’s sound is reflective of its feel. I would describe it as overall smooth and clean with a moderate warmth to it. It “whooshes” nicely through the turf with a wholesome “click” from the face at impact. The combination of the maraging steel face and carbon crown balance out nicely for a modest decibel level that’s loud enough to give you a boost of confidence that you just roasted the ball, but is toned down enough that it isn’t overwhelming and distracting. Overall, the E722 sounds super clean and pure as can be.
On-Course Performance
| Club Speed | Ball Speed | Launch Angle | Spin | Carry (Yds) | Total (Yds) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 112.4 | 163 | 13.6º | 2733 | 267.4 | 274.3 |
Though the Tour Edge Exotics E722 fairway wood is plenty long, the consistency and forgiveness jumped out at me the most. I ended up making a switch this fairway wood mid season specifically because it was so consistent and forgiving, but also because it was so effortless. The numbers you see above were consistent throughout my season, but I didn’t feel like I had to fight the club. Just by making a good swing, I was hitting a clean and powerful shot that got up and carrying. By no means was it a big ballooning shot, but there was enough lift to achieve good carry.
The E722 fairway wood will allow you to work both ways, up and down, but the stock flight was straight with a medium+ trajectory. This can be chalked up to the high MOI, which makes the club resistant to twisting at impact, and the lower and deeper CG provided by the Ryzersole. Once I paired the E722 fairway wood with the Fujikura Ventus TR Red shaft, it quickly became one of the strongest clubs in my bag.
Final Thoughts – Tour Edge Exotics E722 Fairway Wood
I know the new product line is right around the corner, but not having a review of the Tour Edge Exotics E722 on this website is flat out criminal after how good this club has been to me. While the E722 is the “forgiving” option in the lineup, it’s a long and powerful fairway wood that will appeal to players of any skill level. It looks great, sounds and feels incredible, and is just a faithfully reliable fairway wood. Of course, as much as I love it, I can’t wait to see how Tour Edge evolves in the next generation!

I think this is the second or third review of the E722 fairway where the reviewer mentioned how long the club is. A but surprising considering it’s the more forgiving model.
Pretty common these days. One for shaping and low spin, one for easy launch and long. The latter is where this one lands.
I currently play the Exotics EXS 3 wood with 13 degrees loft. I’m ready for an upgrade. Does the E722 only come with 15 degrees of loft? I would prefer 13 degrees of loft.
Not in the E series. You’ll have to go C series for 13º loft.
Finally got to hit this today. Easiest 3w to get airborne I’ve ever hit. And you’re right the distance is there in spades. Honestly thought it was better than the E723.
