Plus, the few balls I caught above the center line flew considerably higher – just like they’re supposed to.Ĭonditions made forgiveness difficult to judge, as mishits and curveballs often get a lengthening/straightening boost from the breeze. As expected, my swing paired with a 9° loft produced a series of tracer bullets, though I was pleasantly surprised to successfully attempt a couple of draws. That said, my typically low ball flight tends to mitigate the wind’s effects (for better or worse). With a powerful tailwind blowing slightly from the right, testing conditions were less than ideal. The muted black crown, which features a small alignment guide in the shape of the Tour Edge logo, provides a pleasing contrast with the satin face. The club sports a fairly traditional look, with a rounded, pear-shaped head that sets up nice and square. Here’s the thing about the Exotics XCG5 driver: It’s not very exotic. The shaft is one of three stock offerings in the lineup the others are Graphite Design Tour AD 40 (super ultra-light) and Aldila RIP 60 Sigma (ultra-light). The specs: 9° loft, 46-inch Fujikura Blur shaft, S flex, 56 grams (ultra-light). The model tested was the firm’s newest driver, the Tour Edge Exotics XCG5.
