Launch monitors don't lie. XCG driver delivers longer, straighter drives.

Press Release

Posted 2007-11-30

How far do you really hit your driver? Based on launch monitor test results, the new Tour Edge Exotics XCG gives you the power to blow it past the competition. The XCG driver is an engineering breakthrough that combines an ultra-lightweight, magnesium crown with a heavier hyper-steel body, and a titanium cupped face. An industry first, the magnesium crown and hosel creates and extreme deep center of gravity position and high moment of inertia for longer, straighter drives.

"In golf, everyone claims to hit the ball longer," says Eric Slinkard of PGA Tour Superstore. "That's why we were extremely pleased with the launch monitor results for Tour Edge's new Exotics XCG. It has the fastest ball speed and lowest spin rates we've seen. Not to mention, phenomenal feel, performance and distance. It's just a fantastic product. If you're looking to gain distance and spectacular performance I would start with the Tour Edge XCG."

According to Tour Edge, the XCG's magnesium crown is two times lighter than typical titanium crowns. That combined with the titanium cupped face, moves more weight lower and to the rear of the sole than is possible from any current driver design on the market. The result, the XCG produces very little spin and a high MOI for longer drives. Another benefit of magnesium is the material's flexibility. The crown and neck of the XCG are able to absorb more of the shock on contact for a smooth, powerful feeling at impact - a feeling only the XCG's magnesium hosel and crown can deliver.

Golf Shops across the country are excited about the XCG says Jay Hubbard, vice president of Tour Edge Golf. "The XCG was developed for outright performance. It uses the same titanium cupped face technology that took the golf world by storm and made the Exotics fairway wood famous. Until now, it was impossible to combine a titanium cupped face to a steel body and create a properly weighted 460cc sized driver. Tour Edge solved this problem with magnesium. Launch monitors don't lie." Hubbard added that, "When we put the XCG on our launch monitor the results were exceptional. The variable face thickness of the titanium cupped face produces greater ball speed and a hotter rebound for longer drives."

One golf shop owner that's excited about the XCG is Paul Bayhouse, of Geared for Golf, "I've hit all the new drivers. The XCG is as solid as any new driver out there. It's a good look for a good player. I love the trajectory and everything."

The XCG is also revolutionary in that it features no-weld technology to blend the three dissimilar metals together. The club's titanium face, magnesium crown and hyper steel body feature interlocking channels that are pressed together and combo bonded for permanent bonding without welding. The intrinsic quality of this process is unparalleled, resulting in a lower center of gravity and a pure energy transfer that's not possible from a traditional welded club.

Experience the XCG. It's unlike any driver you've ever known.
