Tour Edge Exotics C725 and E725 Driver Review

[Jman]

It is hard to believe that it was way back in October that Tour Edge released their new 725 lineup of Exotics drivers into the wild. Since then, there has clearly been a deluge of releases from every manufacturer in the industry, but more recent doesn’t mean better performing, does it? We received both the […]

Great writeup @Jman

I think these are two of the better looking heads from address out of everything that came out this year. Excellent option for people that want to save a couple hundred bucks.

I really hope to hit the E725 this year. There were a few things I saw in the forum testing and in the article that make me feel like it would be a better match for me over the 723 was.

This was a great article @Jman. Thorough and very informative.

Some nice performances from very reasonably priced Drivers from Tour Edge.

 

[AuzzieMatt]

I was looking forward to this article as a TEEm tester and the possibility of be able to test one of these.

As dead certain as I am of getting a DS Adapt Max K, the E725 I actually really want to try and put head to head against what will arguably be the driver of the year.

@Jman any thoughts on how the E725 competes?

If it competes as well as I hope this one could be the dark horse in the 10K market with price alone.

The C model looks really good. At $400– that seems like a steal for the tech and performance.

 

[Thrillbilly Jim]

Good stuff here @Jman !

 

[pumbaa]

The e725 might be the biggest value in golf. It's that damn good.

Picked up the E725 the other day with the Cypher shaft. While at the PGASS I moved the back weight to the draw position. My usual right miss turned into a smaller fade, no pull lefts happened either. Look forward to getting to a simulator this week. I had looked at a few other drivers the past few months and settled on this one. If I have an issue with it is the sound but it is not off putting just not to my liking. Maybe it will sound better outside.

If I wasn’t set to play in the MC this year, the C could have very possibly have been my gamer for the year. It’s that good, and that easy to hit.

I shall bring you the 10.5 E in April. We will make my delivery of drivers to you at staff retreat a tradition. Haha

Really though, I want you to hit it against the MAX-K…

I actually agree, they’re both damn good at setup. The only 10K head which looks better there, imo, is the MAX-K.

The C at 445cc though is stunning. The move from the original ridgeback design is aesthetically and technologically a win for them.

Look sooo good, I have the C721, and C723 over here in the office, Might need to try the 725 for sure

I've had great success with the C in the past. Easy to hit with that size and design is impressive. I think we've all played the "lower handicap" model and gotten absolutely destroyed on mishits. I hope people give this line a chance.

It’s something I can’t totally touch on since we got the 10.5 for review. My MAX-K is 9 turned down, and I’d have like to have been able to do the same here to have an honest comparison between the two.

For the 10.5 to stay below 3k for me like it did, tells me that a 9.0 would’ve been in that 2500-2700 wheelhouse I love to see, and where the K lives for me.

I will say, I find it every bit as good as the Max 10k 430
I tested and reviewed, and it sounds a ton better too.

 

[outlawx]

Loved the write up and deeper dive. thanks @Jman

 

[Scooby45]

They nailed the looks on this one to my eye. So much so it was going to get a long look to be my driver this year if my dance card wasn’t full.

Really hope Team Tour Edge gets to add to the reviews here on it

That sounds like a great little test!

 

[Lord Tox]

Best looking Tour Edge driver in years.

 

[Redd]

@Jman I feel like these articles are just getting better. You always share an incredible amount of information, but somehow this felt even more thorough. Grateful for your time and effort, sir!

I have never had the pleasure of swinging any previous driver release by Tour Edge Exotics, but become more and more intrigued with each release cycle. The price point, the constant innovation, and now even their aesthetic improvements...these two seem primed to shock folks if given an honest look.

 

[russtopher]

Fantastic writeup @Jman. This info just solidifies that the E725 would be my weapon of choice. Great looks and as much as my driver has gotten better over the last few years, I still need that forgiveness off the tee, especially with the amount of trees I need to contend with up here in the northeast.

I loved the sliding weight tech when I first used it on the Big Bertha drivers as it 100% works, and seeing that in the E725 combined with 10k has me itching to try it out.

The driver market this year is so stacked that it's gonna be tough for a company like TEE to breakout but this product sounds just as good as anything else on the market and at a great price point.

The placement of the weight ports/tracks on these two are something that I really could have put a lot more words into. Visually, they’re different, almost simple, but the locations are honestly brilliant, especially on the E725 with how rearward and on the perimeter it is.

Maximum effectiveness.

They really do stand up with anything I’ve hit or tested this year, it’s all about if they can get them into hands to try.

The sole configuration of the E725 has perked my thoughts of adding lead tape on the power channel in the recessed area, moving the CG forward slightly thus reducing spin & lowering ball flight. The standard back weight is 18 grams. TE offers many options to replace the rear weight. Replacing the back weight with a 13 gram and adding 5 grams of lead tape to the power channel for example. 10K forgiveness will be reduced of course so there's that. It's fun to tinker and imagine but this just might add another asset to the E725. Great writeup Jman.... as always.
