Tour Edge Announces New Exotics CBX Fairway and Hybrid 119 Versions
Independent Tests Show CBX 119 13 Yards Longer on Average than Top-Selling Fairway Metals
BATAVIA, IL – Tour Edge officially introduces the Exotics CBX 119 fairway metals and hybrids, new versions of the tour-winning and award-winning Exotics CBX models originally launched in August of 2017.
Modifications were made to the Exotics CBX fairway metals and hybrids based off of feedback from Tour Edge’s Staff on the PGA Tour Champions and some of the other 50 plus professionals who put Exotics into play on tour in 2018.
With a goal of further reducing spin off of the metalwoods already known as “The Spin Killers”, the Speed Ramp Sole was widened by 15% to create higher MOI and an even higher CG. The higher CG helped to reduce spin even more than in the previous iteration and created more wind-defying distance out of what had already tested as the longest fairway metal on the market.
The wider and deeper Speed Ramp Sole design surrounds a larger carbon fiber section on the sole of the new CBX 119 design, allowing for more weight to be positioned in the preferred location closer to the face of the clubhead. The stainless steel Speed Ramp Sole design also improves turf interaction, allowing golfers to hit the fairway metals out of the rough or deep divots.
The ramp on the Speed Ramp Sole extracts the ball from the turf while the chrome stainless steel wings in a “horseshoe” shape expands the sweet spot on the face and surrounds and protects the ultra-light carbon fiber cap.
The CBX 119 ranked 1st in total distance,1st in carry distance and #1 in lowest spin rates against four of the top selling fairway metals on the market. The CBX 119 3-wood averaged 13 yards more total distance and 10 yards more carry distance over Taylor Made M3, Callaway Rouge, PING G400 and Cobra F8. It also bested the four clubs with 358 RPM less spin than the four clubs tested against on average at a 110 MPH swing speed.
The new Exotics CBX hybrid integrates new technology designed to push the boundaries of low-spin distance combined with tour-inspired feel and workability. The new CBX 119 Hybrid- shorter heel to toe for more workability and lower spin results, and less face progression.
The modified design is also a taller face that produces more power and less spin. The larger Beta-Titanium face makes for more face flex, or CT, making the hybrid hotter off the face than its previous iteration.
The engine of the CBX hybrid again lies within Exotics core ethos of using superior multi-materials and construction methods. A Beta Ti cup face is brazed with a Hyper Steel body to produce the perfect launch and low spin combination.
Tour Edge implemented a new system for their Exotics CBX hybrids last year they call their TrueLoft System. Through extra quality control methods in the bending process of unfinished heads, plus a triple-check on loft and lie in the final stages of the club head making process, Tour Edge is committed to making sure that each club head fits the exact loft that is listed on the club head.
