Tour Edge Develops New Exotics 722 Series Metals with Ridgeback, RyzerSole, and Diamond Face Technologies

Tour Edge has announced the all-new Exotics 722 Series metalwoods in their biggest Exotics launch in company history.

For the first time in an Exotics lineup, the 722 Series will offer two distinct ranges covering every product category in the series, the E722 and C722. This means there will be two separate drivers, fairways, hybrids, and iron designs. There is also a new Ti-Utility iron being launched on the C side of 722.

Both the Extreme (E) and Competition (C) ranges feature new technologies and setups designed to produce different playing characteristics targeting a specific player looking for unique performance qualities. 

“This approach that we first launched with Hot Launch has been extremely beneficial to custom fittings and to cover the entire matrix of different golfers, swing types and player preferences that exist,” said Tour Edge founder and President David Glod.

“The Competition Spec player wants more adjustability and higher-grade materials that produce hotter and lower spinning flights, while the Extreme Spec player wants high M.O.I. for increased accuracy, ease of launch and overall playability. We now have that distinction in every product in the 722 series.” 

The new ultra-premium, high-performance Exotics 722 Series will be available for purchase worldwide on March 5, 2022. 

“We hit a really nice groove with 721, so the 722 design goals were all about optimizing everything we could in the design phase,” said Glod. “This meant putting our focus on optimizing CG, spin and M.O.I. for every player, adding launch without adding spin, adding some really cool adjustability that will be vital to our tour efforts, all while improving on our industry leading sound and feel. We nailed every design goal and it’s showing up in the testing across the board.” 

New Exotics 722 Drivers Featuring Ridgeback, Diamond Face VFT

ARE YOU AN E?

Exotics E722 Driver - This 460cc profile designed for maximum forgiveness takes M.O.I. to the absolute extreme. The E722 Driver features an M.O.I. boosting 30-gram back weight that will help produce higher launch angles and more spin. 

The E722 brings the ultimate in power and feel through the new 722 Ridgeback™ tech that connects with a newly designed Ridgeback rail on the sole of the clubhead. 

The innovative design also features 34% more carbon fiber and a new Diamond Face VFT™ design that is thinner and extends further out to the heel and toe of the clubhead for added forgiveness on mishits. 

30-Gram Back Weight - An extreme weighting design features a 30-gram weight at the extreme trailing edge on the sole of the clubhead. The E722 Driver’s extreme low-rearward CG position produces an extremely high M.O.I. that is 18% higher than the previous iteration to increase stability at impact and tighter dispersion. 

This equates to a top Moment of Inertia rating in a driver in golf: a 5500 g/cm2 M.O.I. rating. Additional weights are available in 20 grams, 25 grams and 35 grams and are available individually or in a weight kit. 

Ridgeback Technology – This Ridgeback spine acts as a brace to produce more power across the entire face, including the extreme perimeters. TE engineers created a 20% thinner Ridgeback with increased structural properties and a Ridgeback Sole activation for the 722 Drivers. 

The spine runs from the center of the face through the crown and wraps around the head to connect with a newly designed sole plate rail. The extra rigidity created by the brace through the crown produces a much stronger feel at impact and results in a crisper and brighter feel at strike. 

Carbon Wrap Tech – Carbon Wrap technology replaced extra Titanium from the crown and sole with an extreme wrap-around design that features 34% more carbon fiber. These weight savings have been re-purposed to create the optimal CG location, allowing for greater face flex in the heel and toe so off-center hits achieve greater power. 

Diamond Face VFT Technology – There are 61 diamond shapes comprising of seven different thicknesses in an interweaving pattern in the new 722 Diamond Face VFT. They function as mini trampolines for hotter strikes across the vast majority of the club face. 

The face thickness of the new Diamond Face VFT is thinner and extends further out to the heel and toe of the clubhead, dramatically increasing ball speed on off-center hits while also greatly aiding forgiveness on these strikes. 

Internal Sound Diffusion Ribbing - Sound Diffusion Ribbing is strategically placed sound-enhancing ribs located inside the clubhead. The S.D. Ribbing vastly improves the acoustic properties by directing and diffusing sound waves within the club head at impact.

Adjustable Hosel - The adjustable hosel allows golfers to adjust the loft +/- 2 degrees and lie angle through a range of 3 degrees. With three lofts being offered (9.5°, 10.5°, and 12°) the 722 Series delivers a loft range of 7.5° to 14°, while various alternate settings afford lie angles from 59 degrees to 62 degrees. 

SpeedTested Shafts - Every shaft in the Exotics 722 Series has been SpeedTested to find the optimal custom shaft pairing for every flex, determined by robotic testing, and validated by player testing. 

Available Lofts in Right-Handed: 9.5°, 10.5°, 12°

Available Lofts in Left-Handed: 10.5°

Retail Price: $399.99 

…OR A C?

Exotics C722 Driver – The smaller 445cc profile with a deeper face is designed for the competitive player and features a two-tier front/back weighting system that allows for industry-leading M.O.I. and spin rate manipulation. 

The C722 Driver brings the ultimate in power and feel through the new 722 Ridgeback™ tech that connects with a newly designed Ridgeback rail on the sole of the clubhead.

The innovative design also features 26% more carbon fiber and a new Diamond Face VFT™ design that is thinner and extends further out to the heel and toe of the clubhead for added forgiveness on mishits. 

Player Preferred Shaping – The C722 design features a deeper face, a more compact head, along with a minimal offset design. 

Front/Back Weighting System featuring M.O.I./Spin Rate Adjustability - A two-tier Front/Back Weight System is employed in the C722 Driver that allows for extreme M.O.I. and spin rate manipulation. The C722 Driver will come standard with a 20-gram weight in the back and a 5-gram weight in the front.

This allows for adjustability at a rate of +/- 300 RPMs of spin rate when the weights are switched. The M.O.I. range adjustment is from 4950 g/cm2 to 4400 g/cm2, making for an available M.O.I. adjustability of 11% at your fingertips. Additional weights available in 10 grams, 12.5 grams and 15 grams and are available individually or in a weight kit. 

Ridgeback Technology – TE engineers created a 20% thinner Ridgeback with increased structural properties and a Ridgeback Sole activation for the 722 Drivers. The spine runs from the center of the face through the crown and wraps around the head to connect with a newly designed sole plate rail. Ridgeback is designed to create superior feel at impact and additional power. 

Carbon Wrap Tech – In the C driver, Carbon Wrap technology replaced 26% of the extra Titanium from the crown and sole with an extreme wrap-around design. These weight savings have been re-purposed to create the optimal CG location, allowing for greater face flex in the heel and toe so off-center hits achieve greater power. 

Diamond Face VFT Technology – The new 722 Diamond Face VFT has 61 diamond shapes comprising of seven different thicknesses in an interweaving pattern located behind the face of the driver. These varying diamond shapes act as mini trampolines for strikes across the vast majority of the club face. The face thickness of Diamond Face VFT at the extreme perimeters of the face is significantly reduced, increasing ball speed and overall forgiveness on off-center hits. 

Internal Sound Diffusion Ribbing - Sound Diffusion Ribbing is strategically placed sound-enhancing ribs located inside the clubhead. The S.D. Ribbing vastly improves the acoustic properties by directing and diffusing sound waves within the club head at impact.

Adjustable Hosel - The adjustable hosel allows golfers to adjust the loft +/- 2 degrees and lie angle through a range of 3 degrees. With two lofts being offered (9.5°, 10.5°) the 722 Series delivers a loft range of 7.5° to 12.5°, while various alternate settings afford lie angles from 59 degrees to 62 degrees. 

SpeedTested Shafts - Every shaft in the Exotics 722 Series has been SpeedTested to find the optimal custom shaft pairing for every flex, determined by robotic testing, and validated by player testing.
