Tour Edge Shaft Tips

I am waiting on an answer from Tour Edge, but thought maybe someone here knows:

Will the tip that comes with the XCG-7, fit other models, specifically the beta's?  I like the smaller head size of the beta and am thinking I could get a head only and use with a couple of shafts I already have.

Short answer if it's an XCG7 Beta, Yes. The XCG7 and XCG7 Beta have the same adaptor set-up. Sort of like you can swap shafts from an EX9 Tour to an EX9. Or the E8 or E8 Beta.... As long as it is the same model family it will absolutely fit.

But don't try to put an XCG7 head on an EX9 or EX10 adapter, because it won't work.

thanks. That is kind of what I thought.  I guess a  better way would be to go the Club Conex route with their universal adapters. Since I already have two shafts fitted with the XCG7 tips, I may try to find an XCG7 Beta head.  Mostly because I like the smaller head size and also the performance from the XCG7 Beta 3 wood, the driver would compliment it. Its hard to keep up with these OEM club makers coming out with the new models and Heaven forbid that they do so with the same hosel adapters.

The funny thing is the last four Tour Edge driver releases all have 8 position hosel adaptors, but for whatever reason they are slightly different and don't work interchangably.

Roger that, guess they just want you to purchase the latest and greatest.  Now that I have an understanding of how the adjustables work, I am not such a big fan except for the somewhat dubious ability to swap shafts. Then you have the added weight of the adapters making swing weight and balance changes more challenging. If it were not for my advanced age, I would go ahead and get properly fit with fixed loft/bonded heads coupled with the correct shaft.
