Does anyone have any experience with this company? I am enticed by their low prices and golf digest had them listed in their recent article regarding the improvements in modern irons.

Your desire to change has to be greater than your desire to stay the same.

I just rented as set of Tour Edge clubs on vacation and they seemed fine. I wish that the sets I rented didn't have 4,5, & 6 Hybrids, but other than that they were OK

The Tour Edge Exotics line is exceptional! I've been playing their XCG-V line (Driver & 3/5 FW) all last season. They are fantastic and quality clubs.

I know there is a growing demand for it locally but the shops are scared of carrying much of an inventory. They
say the new TE sticks are priced way above other brands, but then are sold at cut rate prices online within 6 months.

I tried some of their fairways on the range early last year...very nice.

Thanks for the responses everyone. How about their irons? Does anyone have any opinions about them?

I actually just traded with another member on this forum for a set of Tour Edge CNC forged irons w/ KBS Tour shafts. These irons are sweet. I was playing Titleist Ap2s w/ Project X shafts (the 2008 version) and decided to give these a shot. I wanted another set to have around and was looking to hit something different...I like to tinker with my equipment pretty consistently. I'm not sure if it's in my head, but I'm really hitting these clubs more solidly than the AP2s. They feel great and definitely give you adequate feedback. They have a real soft feel to them. I really like the way they look at set up...very traditional and confidence inspiring for me. Believe it or not, I actually prefer them to my Ap2s. Last but not least, I love the way they look...really cool and different. I will say that I think some folks may have issues with the soles though. They go from quite wide with the pw to very blade-like in the longer irons (really 3-5). For me, I find it unique and cool because it's so different. It's also nice to have a set that you won,t see in many other people's bags while out on the course. I hope this helps. Just my two cents.

I used to play TourEdge Comp 950 irons a few years ago. They were the 2nd set of irons I ever had, my dad bought them for me. I LOVED those irons, got down to my lowest ever handicap (I was a 6) with them. Played with them for probably 6-7 years and wore them smooth, so I decided to get Callaway x18 and haven't been much lower than a 10 handicap since. I searched google for those irons, and it appears there are a few different Comp 950 out there, the ones I had were black on the other side of the club face ... I couldn't find any pictures of them. The other Comp 950 models that I saw pictures of looked pretty awful.

I have owned a number of their products over the years, especially fairway woods and hybrids. The exotics line is aimed a high dollar group, other lines are solid game improvement clubs. The exotics have definitely found some price resistance, especially in the drivers. I think their fairway woods have been some of the best for a number of years.

Tour Edge is a "best kept secret" among the smaller club makers. A local golf shop has a knowledgeable, veteran club fitter who has followed TE since the 1980s. He said TE is privately owned, has limited production runs, and doesn't advertise like the big guys do. Lots of public-course golfers in the Midwest play Tour Edge clubs.

I played the Tour Edge Bazooka Tungsten Beta Ti fairway woods from 2003 to 2009. Had a 3W (14*) and a 5W (19*) with Grafalloy Ultralite stiff shafts. They had a low-profile head that launched one hot ball if you hit them with a slight draw.

Quit using them when I went back to regular shafts.

Last couple of years, the TE Exotics fairway woods have attracted a small cult following of fans.

Focus, connect and follow through!

How good are Tour Edges clubs? I've heard primarily positive things about their drivers and fairway woods, even though they seem to have a hefty price tag. However, I really have not heard anything about their irons and hybrids. I've had my eye on the XCG-3 irons, but finding somehere to demo them isn't easy. Any thoughts?

I guess I should be more specific, I'm referring to the Exotics line, their high end equipment.

From 2002 to 2009, I played Pro Tour Bazooka Beta-Ti fairway woods. Had 14* 3W and 19* 5W. Low-profile heads which got the ball up well. Mine came with Ultralight Stiff shafts made by Grafalloy.

Produced a very hot ball when hit square or with a slight draw. A fade was softer and checked up pretty well if struck properly.

Had trouble with hitting them off the tee; tended to pop the ball up. I later found out I should have put ball on a tuft of grass rather than on a wooden peg. Eventually retired them when I went from stiff to regular shafts on all my clubs.

Lots of public-course golfers in Midwest have some Tour Edge clubs in their bags. The Exotics models are high end, and have a cult following.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • 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.

    • 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.
