Haha, hey, who am I to deny the people what they want? Ha!Can’t wait for this one Jman, I know the data may be quite similar, but for me it all comes down to the human element.

That’s for sure! One thing that I will add though is my swing and results are not calculated by algorithms!Haha, hey, who am I to deny the people what they want? Ha!
Oh my swing isn’t either, but data never lies!That’s for sure! One thing that I will add though is my swing and results are not calculated by algorithms!
I like it better than most in fact. The navy color doesnt distract from anything else and allows the Exotics logo to really pop. Between this and their headcovers, they nailed the look IMO.I mean come on, there’s no one out there that can tell me this isn’t on equal footing quality and aesthetic wise as ANY other driver on the market.

First let me say your photography skills are solid. And yes this clubs looks as good as anything out there.I mean come on, there’s no one out there that can tell me this isn’t on equal footing quality and aesthetic wise as ANY other driver on the market.

Grip is headscratching as I believe its CROSSLINE 360, would have gone with something else for stock driver grip. - no real detriment as its new and feels "grippy" enough.
Best stock HC’s on the entire market.The craftsmanship of the head and the driver is amazing.
Mine was shipped with the stock headcover and so much effort when into it! A+++
Also the choice of shaft is awesome!

Just to add a little more info for those who are interested.First off, I wanted to thank THP and Tour Edge for the opportunity of being on TEEm Tour Edge 2020.
Had a chance to unbox my EXS220 Driver last night.
Currently I am gaming an Epic Flash 12* with Even Flow Green 59g shaft Reg flex at 45“. I am not a long hitter but I tend to keep the ball in play (61% Fairways Hit). According to Game Golf I average 223 with the Flash with a “Typical” drive of 229. Anything over 230 is a blessing
Tour Edge sent the driver in 12* with the Fujikura Ventus 4t Core shaft in Reg flex. The Ventus 4t is listed as 58g mid launch, mid spin so it should be a very comparable test between the two in terms of overall builds.
First impressions out of the box. I was going to do an unboxing video but @Gman79 already posted one above. Included in the box were the headcover, torque wrench, card with adapter/loft settings (very handy I might add) and a letter addressed to the (4) TEEm Tour Edge members. What was cool about the letter is it stressed that TEE wants no fluff or fanboy fodder. Honest constructive criticism (good or bad) is what was asked of us as we go through the review process.
Aesthetics/Looks/Styling – It looks great. In terms of shelf appeal I think it stands up to anything out there right now. That is saying something because being a Tour Edge follower for many years now some of their offerings left me a bit, meh, upon first seeing them in the shop. Not this one. The EXS220 features a gloss black crown with metallic flake around the perimeter with the carbon fiber weave that is the trend these days. On the toe side it features a medium blue with red pin stripe theme with Tour Edge written in silver.
To my eye (and I haven’t taken the measurements of the head yet) the shape reminds me a lot of the Callaway Rogue driver. Larger more stretched out footprint from front to back which suits my eye very well. The bigger the footprint the more comfortable I am behind the ball. The interesting thing is even though I prefer this shape I usually end up hitting the smaller more pear shaped drivers better. I felt the driver sits very neutral to my eye which is a positive. Given my miss is a snap hook closed faced drivers are usually a non-starter for me. The Ventus 4t shaft is a dark grayish/blue metallic color with silver lettering. Very classy and understated looking shaft.

Headcover – Definitely a very quality cover. Boxing Glove style that fits extremely tight. Took a few tugs to get the head back in there.

Build Quality – This is something I always pay attention to. The first thing I do when I receive any new club is I take it right into the basement and start measuring it to see how close it compares to oem specs.
Tour Edge specs:
View attachment 8932311
My measurements (I only have the ability to weigh, measure swing weight and length; I do not have a lie and loft device):
Length: 45.75” (this makes sense as Tour Edge measures to the end of the shaft, so adding ¼” for the end cap on the grip brings the OEM spec of 45.5” to 45.75”.)

Swing Weight: D3. – TEE does not list their swing weights on their product page.
View attachment 8932313
According to the website the rear weight is 9g.

My measurement – spot on 9g (9 is stamped on the back of the weight):

I am a numbers junkie so for all the tech geeks out there I also measured:
Head only – 193g
View attachment 8932317
Tip – 9g (note I believe this is an aftermarket tip)
View attachment 8932318
Head + Tip – 202g
View attachment 8932319
Total club weight including shaft – 311g (for comparison purposes my Flash is 309g)

I haven’t had a chance to hit it yet (hoping today) but if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask. Especially you guys out there in the slower swing range hitting the ball 180-230 and/or playing higher lofted drivers.
The 301 overall weight as shown is because of the shaft weight differences. I have the Air Speeder in mine and it only weighs 40 grams and I love it.Just to add a little more info for those who are interested. View attachment 8932340
Oh hey. Anyone curious about this?

Pics tell the story I think. Several things I’m picking up on now with them side by side, but I’m curious to see what others notice first.So it is a huge head right?
