Description The Exotics forged blade represents the perfect fusion of excitement, power, performance, and love for the game of golf. The design is essential, uncomplicated, and beautiful in the truest sense.
Forged from 1025-carbon steel, the blade's soft forms are highlighted by dramatic lines and a classic shape. For maximum spin control and a pure feel, the blade's face is entirely CNC milled to supply the largest grooves and face-roughness allowed by the USGA. The milled face and head not only deliver unprecedented spin control, they deliver a strikingly superior feel never before attained from a forged iron.
The Exotics' milled, muscle-cavity lowers the center of gravity so shots not only feel incredible, they fly higher and land softer. This ideal weighting puts all the control back in your hands and gives you the confidence to play your very best.

Summary: Got this superb irons at a Sale at US$ 290! I tried this irons at a range, I liked the great feel and look (visit the website to see it). But decided against buying them since I have a set of Cobra S9 irons. I believe that it's more forgiving. I lost control, when the price reached US$ 285.
Next to the range and green, I cannot believe it! Though it's a blade, the performance is unbelievable! The small head does not mean it's difficult to play. In fact, it gave me the confidence to play well. I play great than ever! Again, I really like the clean and simple look! I can play better than my S9 irons is an additional bonus! Overall, it's a a great buy! I highly recommend this set of irons!

Summary: Great set of irons. I love the way they look and feel. They replaced a set of r7 tp irons that I loved. I seem to have lost a little distance on each club. The lofts are the same as my old clubs, but I need to check the lofts and make sure they aren't weak.

Shoots in the 90s
Model Reviewed: Tour Edge Exotics CNC Forged
Summary: I'm a bogey golfer, in the 80s as often as the 90s, so it was a bit of jump to try these small heads. But on a recommendation, I found them "heads only" on an eBay auction. Got a set for $177. When they arrived and I saw how small the heads were, I assumed I made rash decision.
I was wrong.
I shafted these with True Temper's lightest steel shafts -- 75-gram GS75s. The shafts are $25 ea. in the States; I'm in the Philippines.
First, I found that a lot of the talk about the value of Game Improvement (GI) clubs is, at least in my case, overstated. I've been using the Exotics now for about four or five months, sometimes alternating back to my GIs, same on the range. I find these small heads just about as forgiving as the bigger clubs. In addition, I found that I'm hitting the ball better without the offset -- very little offset in these clubs.
The feel on these is incredible. Anything caught in the sweet spot or near feels like going through butter. No loss of distance vs. my other sets.
In terms of quality these look as nice as anything I played, and these replaced a set of Epons. (Epons are not very well know in the States; they are Japanese forged clubs that are the house brand of Edon, a state-of-the-art foundry that makes equipment for big-name brands.)
Small heads, cavity-back blades, but very easy to play. Not sure why Tour Edge, which doesn't sell heads only, made these available to an eBay shop. But they shipped from the Tour Edge factory. I liked them so much I picked up a second set for just $142 in another eBay auction. I don't see them available anymore.
Summary: Amazing irons, hands down the best clubs I've ever owned. Before using these clubs I played Nike blades and Mizuno blades (various types), and though these are a muscle back/blade hybrid, they are by far my favorite yet. Shaping shots is easy, the ball spins so much its unbelievable, and I picked up about almost 10yds per club. I attribute the increased distance mainly to better contact since the exotics are seemingly much easier to hit flush than my previous sets of clubs. Finally, my brother had a set of these built up w/ project X shafts. The golf smith said that these were some of the highest quality heads he'd ever seen, w/ almost perfect weight, loft, and lie from the factory. I just can't say enough about how great these irons are.

Summary: Purchased the CNC milled 3-SW heads on Ebay and matched them up with Graphite Design GAT 95 stiff shafts.
I'd played Titleist forged blades until 20 years ago and wanted to see if I still had the game to play forged. Reading reviews about that "buttery feel" of forged heads brought back some good memories and I had to give it a go. Hope I'm not sounding too much like an ol' geezer looking to restore his lost youth!!
It's been two weeks - played 2 rounds plus 4 trips to the range - the desire to hit these well provided me the incentive to work though some swing mechanic flaws and I'm now hitting these as consistently as my cavity backed cast clubs.
I have found the four iron is as easy to hit as the seven iron, so my trusty 4 hybrid is taking a well-deserved rest.
Tour Edge quality is as good as it gets -these heads are as functional as they are beautiful. If you are looking for an easy to hit forged iron, don't hesitate for a second - BUY THESE!!
Why cover up swing flaws with cast cavity backs when you can work though those flaws with forged heads to diagnose/correct them?? These clubs provided me the incentive to do just that!!
Customer Service: Seriously doubt I'll ever need to contact them.
Lifetime warranty from Tour Edge, just in case.
