I have been thinking recently that I need to upgrade ALL OF MY CLUBS... irons, wedges, driver, fairways, hybrid, and putter... I have looked into getting the Exotics CU irons by Tour Edge (let's face it I'm a cook I ain't made of money)... haven't found a place locally that is an authorized dealer but I'm trying to... Has anyone hit or demoed these irons? Does anyone have any information that could help me decide whether to make the jump? Any information would be helpful, Thanks.

Sorry, I can't help with the Exotics CU's, but I've got to ask.......What is it about your current clubs that you don't like?

If I remember right, you've changed clubs several times in the past couple of years.  That's a pretty good set of sticks you've got right now.  Given your current financial status, and the dramatic rise in your handicap lately, I'm wondering if the $2k or so wouldn't be better spent on lessons.

More often than not, it's the Indian, not the arrow..... ;-)

That depends... Let's say you have a 5-foot-7 Indian (golfer) with 5i clubhead speed of 65 MPH. He's having trouble controlling his irons, which happen to be TM Tour Preferred Musclebacks (MBs) with Project X 7.0 shafts. In this case, I'd say the golfer needs to refit his arrows.

The trick is to get clubs that fit your physique and swing - for most of us, club that won't hurt our game. But after that, it's lessons, practice, and playing regularly that will improve your score.

I don't know much about TE's Exotics, but I do like their products. I did try their Exotic metal woods several years ago, but found them not to my liking. Perhaps their newer versions are more playable. I play TE's irons myself . I know from past experience that their customer service, after the sale, is top of the line. I can't imagine any other brand being better. Maybe as good, but not better than Tour Edge. I have used their CS on two occasions, and had no problems what so ever. In fact they did more than I expected.

I know the quality of their equipment is also top of the line, and of course their pricing is very easy on one's finances.

If it's any help to you, in the past I have purchased all of my TE stuff from Golf USA in Manhattan, Kansas. They are very knowledgeable about their products. It has been a few years since I did do business with them, but I would go there again if I needed something.

A whole bunch of Tour Edge golf stuff...... :beer:

True, but that's why I asked what he didn't like about his current clubs....or the other sets that he's had. As a former + handicap, I've got to assume he's had clubs that fit pretty well in the past and that these aren't likely to be very far off.....

@onthehunt526 ,

The Tour Edge dealer locator lists six dealers in the 148** zip code.

http://www.touredge.com/services/dealerlocator.asp

Only one (Watkins Glen GC) carries the Exotics line. Hope this helps.

(Tour Edge has its main manufacturing site in the suburbs of Chicago. Outside the Midwest, TE can be a bit hard to find).

You might try some neighboring zip codes or area codes to see if offerings are better.

I'm from the Binghamton area originally, Greater Golf in Endicott is has almost every line Tour Edge has... I was a former + handicap... had really well fitted clubs was a really good player had to sell almost all my gear to pay medical bills... I got in a very bad car wreck and am lucky to be alive... I'm still doing rehab on my injuries... not back to full strength but I'm getting there but I digress... Maybe it's the fact I'm not a) used to my new irons (side note: starting to hit them better... still have my V-blades)... b) I need them adjusted... But I may take a trip down to Endicott and see what they may be able to do with my CNC's... and demo the CU's against my CNC's...

    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
    • Day 283: Putted on my mat for a while watching an NLU video. Worked on keeping my head still primarily, and then making sure my bead is okay.
