Club Junkie Review: Tour Edge Exotics C723, E723 hybrids

Published

on

Tour Edge has proven that its Exotics line pushes the limits of club performance over the years. This year, the Exotics line has two new hybrids to suit your game and help you hit more greens or fairways. The E723 is a hybrid designed for maximum forgiveness and high launch while its sibling, the C723, is adjustable and made for players looking to work the ball.

To listen to the full review, click on the YouTube or podcast link below or search GolfWRX Radio on your favorite podcast platform.

Tour Edge Exotics C723

The C723 is exactly as Tour Edge describes — compact and adjustable — for the more skilled player who is looking to add a hybrid to the bag. I love adjustable hybrids so you can dial in the performance to your setup with ease. The 19-degree head I was hitting can play between 17.5 and 20.5 degrees of loft with the lie angle ranging between 57 and 60 degrees. Now the loft and lie are not fully separate and some loft settings only have a specific lie, but still very useful.

The C723 went right to the course and on the first hole I noticed a flatter trajectory that had a more boring flight off the tee. Shots off the deck are actually easier to elevate than I thought but again offer that flatter ball flight. Ball speed is great and distance is effortless when you strike it in the center, or close to it. I also noticed impressive distance on shots off the toe when you would expect to see a bigger decline in a smaller club head. Shot shape is very neutral, and the C723 isn’t looking to help you draw the ball. Forgiveness on off-center shots is better than you would expect and shots stay online fairly well. Overall, this is a great option for players looking for a players hybrid that offers adjustability and added distance.

Tour Edge Exotics E723

If your hybrid needs include distance, higher launch, and forgiveness, then the E723 might be the hybrid for your bag. I might actually like the larger look of the E723 hybrid compared to its smaller sibling, it gives you the confidence that you don’t have to hit perfect shots to see great results.

Out on the course, or range, you can immediately see the launch difference as the E jumps up and off the face quickly. The flight is high, and I could tell the descent angle was steeper than the C. The Ryzersole gives you solid turf interaction on tight fairway lies and gets through that nasty rough fairly easily. Just like the C723, this hybrid offers some really good ball speed even when you miss the center. Those off-center shots stay online really well thanks to the weight in the head being back and low. Draws are much easier to hit with the E723 and straight shots wanted to fall just a little left of target.

Sound and feel are great with both heads and shots are met with that familiar stainless steel “ting” that we know so well. I think the E723 fits a wide range of players that can benefit from some extra distance and a little higher launch to reach those greens in two.

Tour Edge has again done a really good job with giving golfers some exciting hybrid options with the new Exotics. Whether you are looking to work the ball and adjust your hybrid to fit your bag or you just want a hybrid that is long and easy on your poor swings, I think you need to try out an E723 or C723 hybrid.

2024 Open Championship custom staff bags and accessories

Published

on

Every major championship is the time when companies express their creative sides with limited-edition bags and accessories. This year at The Open Championship is no different, as you will see below. Most of the bags and accessories around The Open will feature plaid or yellow accents as well as some reference to local legend. You will see stamps as this year’s theme, referring to the 8th hole at Royal Troon’s Old Course. This par 3 was originally named “Ailsa” but is now called “Postage Stamp” due to the nickname William Park gave the hole’s tiny green years ago.

TaylorMade

The “royal” theme inspired TaylorMade with their purple and gold staff bag. The staff bag is a deep purple and complemented with shiny gold accents with little hints at The 152nd Open Championship. Matching white headcovers feature a purple TaylorMade logo with a crown over it.

Cobra

I feel like Cobra went with a little more traditional look with its bag and headcover designs. The bright yellow bag matches the hole signs and iconic leaderboard that will be easily visible at Royal Troon this week. The headcovers are all different designs, but match with their stamp and mail themes stictched into them.

Srixon

I don’t think you can ever go wrong with a golf bag that features Scottish tartan on it! Srixon’s staff bag is a deep navy blue, red, and white with tartan on the sides. They also carried that tartan detail over to the classy headcovers that are white with green and tartan stripes near the bottom for a very Open Championship feel.

Callaway

Stamps everywhere! Callaway went heavy with the stamp theme and used them to celebrate the holes at Royal Troon. Each stamp has a hole number and graphic of the hole’s famous feature in them. For golf balls, they took the new Chrome Tour ball and used their Truvis graphics to celebrate the 1st, 8th, 11th, and 18th signature holes.
