According to David Glod, founder and president of Tour Edge, the goal with the company’s new Exotics C721 driver was to create “the most advanced driver we have ever produced.”
To do that, he sought to “perfect” the center of gravity location while endowing the club with the most extreme moment-of-inertia properties. That way, the driver would be both powerful and forgiving.
Glod says that Ridgeback technology is the power producer, thanks to a spine within the carbon fiber crown that acts as a brace on center hits while allowing for greater face flex in the heel and toe. That advance also allows him to replace titanium from the crown and sole with wrap-around carbon wings. Those save considerable weight and enable the engineers to position CG in ways that elevate MOI. A 10-gram adjustable back weight at the extreme rear of the clubhead is added to optimize those attributes as well.
In addition, a 2.0 version of Tour Edge Diamond technology is employed to create faster ball speeds and to expand the sweet spot to the outer areas of the face.
“This is a brand-new direction for Exotics,” said Glod. “And with it, we have forged a new path for optimal performance, with a major emphasis on full-face power creation, sound and feel.”
The Exotics C721 driver features an adjustable hosel, with three lofts for right-handed golfers (9.5, 10.5 and 12 degrees) and one for southpaws (10.5). As far as shafts are concerned, Tour Edge offers several options based on swing speeds, from 85 mph and slower (Fujikura Air Speeder) to 105 mph and faster (Project X Hzrdus Smoke Black Rdx).
