Exotics EX-3

Summary:
I have been looking for a set that would add some trajectory to my normally medium ball flight. I have tried several game improvement sets including MacGregor M565, M455, Nicklaus CT High, TaylorMade RAC CGB and others. I decided to give the Exotics EX-3 a shot. These are very clean-looking irons that inspire confidence. I had a set of X-QUAD graphite w/reg flex (70 gram) mid kick shafts that are very solid. Wow! The ball flies long and high off the face, tremendous improvement over the other irons I had been using. I gained 8-10 yards in carry and every stick had a higher ball flight to boot. These sticks boast a 0.83 COR off the face which is the max limit normally seen with drivers and I can tell you there is something to this technology. If you are looking to gain some altitude and length with your shots - try these on for size. I picked them up on eBay for $375 new/4-AW and they were worth every penny.

Summary:
I consider myself a golf purist. Disipline,control,fun and accuracy,yeah you got it: a Gamer. That is my game and that is Tour Edge Exotics. I played the Cleveland TA-7's when Roger Cleveland DID own the Co.as in before he went(sold-out)to Call-away. At the range with my son one day, A rep from Golf USA was there on a demo w/ Tour Edge. Now granted all my Clevelands were dialed in as far as yardages go with in 2 yards of always accurate. Demo rep looked at my swing -noticed good tempo and ability to work ball from a mat. He admired and asked if I'd try the EX-1's. Okay...1st one...hhmm,nice hit,good feed back... Okay...2nd shot, Sweet spot! & feel!...Picked the club up looked at the face,set it back down ,In position and Hit a third and I was saying "No way!" Stunned and amazed! That afternoon my son and I hit all the irons with amazement, We hit the exotics Hybrid rescue clubs, Fantastic I may add. Driver? you mean the oil can? The big shoe? How about eeeeasy long. The 3 wood? Hell if driver is in bag this 3 wood with 13 degrees is in the bag well it will smoke it far and straight too. It is incredible. 4 wood? Do not even get me started.. this performs! All these clubs have horsepower and 2 degrees up lie. I V-2'ed my driver & 3 wood. IROD'ed my rescue club and kept the Nippon steel shafts in my amazing irons. Just as I did with Cleve's. BUT MY SWING SPEED IS IN TEMPO/CONTROL. making these clubs, when I play, like throwing darts at the pin=ACCURATE. Confidence for all you 70+ and above players in clubs? these are confidence tools for you. David Glod is on to something great here that I see alot of major brands are trying to follow/copy. As I said "American made and American played" You should put these sticks in your hands and don't look back. I picked up 2 sets, 1 for my office and one for home.Yep, doubled up. By far the best. The rest can play catch up. Low key, great quality. great handling. The' package. Scott.

Tour Edge Exotics EX-1 irons

Summary:
3 things summed up these clubs after a few rounds with them. In no particular order: LONG STRAIGHT HIGH!
I sell clubs for a living, so I get to hit many and I've tested over 50 different models of irons in the past 2 years. There are very, very few that really suit me, as my mis-hits tend to be hooks and I usually draw most of my iron shots slightly.
As most of you are probably aware, the majority of clubs on the market are "draw biased" and most irons (except for the ones for those off about scratch) have way too much offset for those of us who draw/hook, but not these. These are about the only clubs suited to anyone up to about a 20 handicap, that have almost no offset. I love it!
I bought a set (which were too short and flat for me), yet in my first round with them, I made 3 birdies in a round for the first time ever! Next time I played about 12 holes and had 2 more birdie putts from about 6-8 feet. These irons hit the ball amazingly straight! And they're very forgiving. You just take dead aim and the ball usually goes exactly where you've aimed it. Centre shots feel pure. Off centre shots don't, but that encourages you to hit the middle more often.
They go a good length and nice and high, but not too high.
Nippon shafts are excellent. Grips are fantastic. Tour Edge don't seem to skimp on quality. Believe the hype!

Customer Service:
Only spoken to them on the phone, but like most companies, were very helpful

Tour Edge Exotics EX-1 Irons (Nippon Steel 950GH Stiff Shafts)

Summary:
Purchased on e-bay since I have the Exotics Tour Proto Driver and CB2 3-wood (and are the best I've hit by far). The irons look great and hit even better. Without a doubt the longest, straightest irons I've hit. Was worried going from Mizuno MP-67s with the TT Black Gold shafts that the Exotics would go too high (I'm a high-ball hitter). I can work these left, right, high, and low (but probably a bit harder to move than blades, which is probably a good thing for most golfers). The feel is unbelievable, and off-center hits aren't punished nearly as much as with blades (or other cavity backs). While the distance is outstanding (at least a club longer than anything I've hit), the feel is still there when hitting touch shots. The Nippon still shafts are extremely responsive and have an excellent feel whether really going at a shot or swinging smoothly.
I can't think of enough positive to say about these clubs...didn't think anything could replace the Mizunos!

Customer Service:
Not used...but only company to have a lifetime warranty on all of their clubs.
