It got a good plug from TST and a friend of mine said he tried it out at the merchandise show and was blown away. Tour Edge is making a guarantee you will outdrive your current fairway wood by 20 yards. Those yards don't come cheap. The lowest price I can find is $350.

Has anyone tried this baby and is it worth three-and-a-half bills?

Hello Uglande,

I did try the Tour Edge 3W last spring. Spent an entire day hitting every club you could imagine and I consistantly outdrove every other 3 wood. the next runner up for me was the Bridgestone J33. I never bought one though as I didn't have the money. This spring I'll try again and see what works best and probably buy it.

I have hit the original and the new CG2 3-wood from the Exotics line, and I can tell you that A) the original is a beast, and B) the new version is even beastier.

The difference is that the titanium face is lighter/thinner, so the steel body is bigger/deeper. So the face is a bit deeper, and the club's a bit more forgiving. But it is super long, which is why you'd want it. It's 20 yards longer than my Steelhead Plus, that's for sure. I'd say it would be longer than a driver for a lot of people who struggle hitting a driver.

It is expensive, no doubt. But it's the longest 3-wood out there, IMHO.

in the bag today:
Driver: TaylorMade R9 10.5° (Fujikura Motore 65 stiff)
3-wood: Tour Edge Exotics XCG (Aldila DVS Fairway 75 stiff)
hybrid: Sonartec Md 21° (UST Proforce V2 Hybrid 85 stiff)
4-PW: Titleist 755 (Titleist TriSpec Regular)Wedges: Titleist Vokey Design 252.08 bent to 50.5° (Oil...

I'm thinking of getting a good set of irons, forged, rifle 6.0 graphite shafts. I'm trying to get my handicap as close to par as possible. Any suggestions. you seem to be in the know. Swing speed on a driver is around 105-110.
I'll probably buy used as I may not have the budget for new.

Lots of good forged options from the last couple years that could be had used. Titleist 690s, Callaway X-Tours, Hogan Edges, any number of Mizuno models. I'd suggest using the PGA Trade-In network or a site like Callaway Golf PreOwned.com to find someplace near you that has used clubs in stock that you can demo, because irons are so individual. 3balls.com is also a good clearing house for used irons. Good luck.

      You start pushing forward at P2. You start visibly moving forward at P3. Waiting until the top is way too late, yeah.

      My Swing (Grizvok)

      By Grizvok · Posted

      100%. I've been guilty my entire time golfing of trying to fit everything imaginable into the .25 second downswing. Sometimes I think it's partly influenced by my backswing length and that if things were slightly longer on the way back, they'd be better synced up on the way down. I also kind of lack a transition. Was doing the practice swing drill today a decent bit where I was feeling like as the club got to the top, the feel of the weight was shifting me forward and initiating the fall into the lead leg. I loved this drill before for this reason and because I need to stop thinking of the golf swing as backswing and downswing.

      Angle isn't perfect. Just found my TST alignment stick, so will make sure video angles are better in future videos. Focus right now is lower body and lower body only. If I make a single post here for the foreseeable future about anything NOT lower body focused, I need to be slapped (I will make an occasional note on unrelated stuff I might be seeing). It's not perfect by any means, but there is a decent bit I like about this swing. Lower body is definitely better than it was pre-TST meetup instruction. There are some things that are tough to see I think I'm doing better like where pressure is going into the trail foot and keeping that trail hip internally rotated. Need to keep feeling those. I think I do my best work when the trail leg keeps its flex on the backswing or at most loses a degree. Keeping the flex (but obviously not adding any) seems to help feel like I'm loading the right glute and to keep the hip internally rotated. Not totally sold on this though. I think my work on adding flow during the TST COVID-19 lessons really helped even though its been quite some time. Shift -> rotate -> shift -> rotate. I just need more out of my hips. It's not drastic, but it's everything. I think it will help sync up a lot regarding my swing and more power to boot. Unrelated note: I hate my negative spine angle.
