Distance and Forgiveness:  Meet the new Tour Edge Exotics Iron Lineup

Tour Edge sure has been busy the last few weeks. We’ve already seen an entire metalwoods lineup, and now it’s time to start talking about irons.

For 2016 Tour Edge has offered up 3 distinct iron sets, and as should be the case, each iron in this reasonably well-differentiated trio is aimed at a specific segment of the market.

So which Exotics iron might be right for you? To help figure that out, we think it makes the best sense to start in the middle.

Tour Edge Exotics EXi

perflayer (1)

As you can see, Tour Edge is billing the EXi as offering Power , Control , and Workability . To me that suggests a balanced iron aimed right at the middle of the market.  It’s a Goldilocks offering…not too big, not to small, not too much offset, not too little. Basically Tour Edge hopes this iron will be just right.

te-exi-sole

We start with the EXi because its where Tour Edge technology overlaps, and that should save us some time.

techlayer (1)

With this release Tour Edge joins TaylorMade in offering a sole slot. This particular adaptation is designed to promote distance and feel. A dual undercut cavity further helps to promote distance, while Tour Edge claims its VFT (variable face thickness) technology helps maintain speed across the face.

Let’s call that forgiveness.

exi

Finally, a Thermo-plastic elastomer insert helps to dampen vibrations and improve feel.

If we’re being honest, from a technology standpoint, there’s nothing truly unique about the EXi, but it does give Tour Edge some skin in the game at a competitive price.

exi-spec

The EXi will retail for $599 with KBS Tour 90 Steel Shafts and $699 with UST Recoil (460, 670, or 680) Graphite.

Tour Edge Exotics EXd

perflayer

The true game-improvement option in the new lineup, the EXd features much of the same technology as the EXi bundled into a larger, longer, and more forgiving package.

exd-tech

The EXd has a slot, VFT technology, an unsupported face (more distance), the deepest undercut cavity of any Tour Edge iron (more distance and forgiveness), along with Tungsten sole weights for added stability.

exd

To further promote distance where golfers need it most, Tour Edge has, by its own admission, jacked the lofts on the 3-6 irons.

Once again, we don’t see anything truly unique with this particular iron, but the specs do suggest Tour Edge is taking strides to catch up with its competitors within the iron category.

exd-spec

Retail price for the EXd is also $599 steel/$699 graphite, and the stock shaft offerings are the same as found on the EXi.

Exotics CB Pro

perflayer (2)

The most intriguing offering within the 2016 Tour Edge iron lineup is, in my opinion, the CB Pro. While Tour Edge is calling the Pro the most technologically advanced set of exotics irons ever, what’s of particular interest to me is that the Pro is such a radical departure from previous iterations of Tour Edge’s Pro irons.

The last time we took a hard look at Tour Edge Pro iron it was a blade, and a pretty damn good one at that. While perhaps a bit unexpected from Tour Edge, the Pro was among the most compact blades on the market, and it offered outstanding feel.

Even if most didn’t realize it at the time, the old Pro was just about everything a purist could want from a blade.

CBPro

This CB Pro is different. Its overall story reads like that of a distance iron wrapped in a smaller package. That’s not necessarily a bad thing.

The reality is that the market for true blades is not only small, it’s dwindling as more and more golfers wise-up to the benefits of not playing blades. For a company the size of Tour Edge, getting any sort of ROI on a blade is difficult. As I said, it’s a limited market to begin with and Titleist, Mizuno, and a few select others meet what demand there is exceptionally well.

techlayer (2)

Doing something different makes sense.

The Exotics CB Pro features hollow body design (distance and forgiveness), with a wide sole bolstered by a significant amount of Tungsten weighting. Once again, we’ve got VFT (distance and forgiveness).

Obviously we can’t say for certain until we have the CB Pros in-hand, but it’s a story that sounds a bit like that of the PXG 0311. Effectively we’re talking about an iron built to be long and forgiving, squeezed into a package that could appeal to better players, and even average golfers who want a traditionally-lofted iron that’s a little less in your face.

exotics cb spec

It’s entirely possible that Tour Edge looked at the larger iron market, and saw an opportunity to offer something slightly unexpected. The CB Pro would seem to fit the description.

The Tour Edge Exotics CB Pro will retail for $799 (steel) and $899 (graphite). As with the rest of the new lineup, KBS Tour 90 and UST Recoil are the stock shaft offerings?

Does Any Of It Matter?

While Tour Edge metalwoods, and fairway woods in particular have a sterling reputation and enjoy a bit of a cult following, the company’s irons have never resonated quite the same way – even among Tour Edge fans.

Will these new irons change that? Do you see anything in these new designs that makes you excited to try Tour Edge irons?

I’ve been in the market for the past 5 mo for new irons. Ive been doing extensive research and testing of different clubs and manufacturs. Im a mid handicapper 84 mph swing speed with a 6i. This past week at pga superstore in my town for about the 5 time lined up a group of finalists with the same shaft but was a mix of 6 and 7 irons. All were very good but none stood out of the croud. The gentlman helping me asked me if I had ever looked at Tour Edge. He said they had some new offerings in the category I was testing. I tried the EXi it was nice and as good or better than all the big boys. Then I tried the CB Pro and wow. It really stood out in the croud. Length was similar but feel and consistancy was amazing. Im hard to impress but I was impressed. I did get fitted and ordered my set on the spot. Hope this helps

Also really digging the tungsten sole. At first I thought the iron looked tacky but after a while it has grown on me

I personally think the irons are a great offering at the price. I am definitely going to be finding a place to try these. I like the pro.

Tony, we’ve been down this road before and I believe many feel the same as I do. There are many disconnects or conflicting theories in club design. I won’t again argue the blade vs game improvement stuff. What i do think tho is MGS could figure out some way evaluate claims made by the Mfg’s. I know you can’t afford an Iron Byron but put a 7-iron on your TrackMan and hit a dozen balls with impact tape to show where the hit is on the face. Graph the shots out with swing speeds and AOA and repeat with or reprint a baseline iron you use from test to test (maybe pick your “Best Iron of ’15”) and viola you will have answered 80% of our questions. You could then state that the “whatever” 7-iron is on average 5 yds longer than our base 7-iron but has a wider dispersion or whatever the anecdotal data shows. Then simply say those 5 yds are somewhat attributable to the loft or shaft length, etc. Haven’t we readers gotten to the point of “Schmeh” when we read comments from others that their iron or Driver is “Crazy Long!!” ? The above comparisons I suggest would need to replicated by different swing speeds by different player since I’m guessing clubs that perform for advanced players may react differently for high handicappers but I’m sure you get my point. Sorry to take the fun out of blogging.

The EXDs have some aggressive lofts. As the target market for these clubs, I don’t know what I’d do with the 3 or 4 irons in this set. Otherwise, they seemingly check a lot of boxes — hollow body, slots, TPU inserts, lots of weight low with the tungsten.

I think this is the area where TE really needs to make strides. They have great FWs and hybrids. They make a solid, but underrated driver. They have an attractive putter line in the DGs. They even make some solid wedges. The irons is where they seemingly need to improve to get up with the big 5.

Too much cash and who really cares about hitting a 9 iron 170…and the CB Pro just looks like the GolfSmith brand from 20 years ago…

Josh-you have way too much time on your hands if your commenting on a Tour Edge article.

Is the sole on the EXi truly open?

The Club Nut

I thought the same thing, but it looks like it’s just a visual trick in the angles of the photos – the “schematic graphic” seems like it only goes a couple mm into the bottom of the face. Doesn’t really look like it would do anything but affect turf interaction to me. I could be wrong as i’ve been staring at the photos trying to figure this out myself. Maybe i’m cross-eyed.

I’m also a TEE fan bagging a driver, fairway and hybrid. I’ve never tried their irons due to lack of reviews on them. Can’t find much info from reviewers. Would be nice if MGS could possibly put these on a trackman with some more well known companies to see how they hold up.

Dereck Guilfoyle

said it before and say it again the “speed slot” was invented by Wilson Staff 40 years ago

I must have missed the announcement… When did an 8i become 35*?!!

somewhere around 2010 i believe.

UGLY, UGLY, UGGGGGGGGGGLY

Anthony Rhode

good luck getting the dirt out of that!

Guy Crawford

If their irons ever catch up with their fairway woods watch out.

Absolutely. I game the XCG5.I’ve hit Callaway, Ping, Titleist and TM and for my swing the TEE stick is right there with the big boys. They are monstrously long. consistent and easy to launch off the fairway. I almost got the E8 Beta when it came out but holding off to test the EX9 for Santa to deliver one or the other. Santa’s going Fly Z to replace the Bio Cell and either E8 Beta or the new Ex9 for a 3 wood!! I’ve been a good boy. ;-)

Do you think that longer equals better performance for you or golfers as a whole?

The length is a benefit but the ability to use it off the tee and fairways with confidence is hard to beat. The dispersion is minimal. It simply goes where you aim it and you can work it both ways. Short par 4, tight par 4 going for a par 5 in two. It’s an important club in my bag. So it’s not necessarily that longer equals better performance because if you hit it crooked that just means it’s deeper into the woods. Length is a bonus.

Dennis Duncan

love their stuff,,,just can’t afford it,,,,,

As a TE fan, i haven’t tried their irons, just their woods and hybrids. i like the look of the CB pros, the others look a little too busy. I know performance matters most, but I like to have good looking irons as well.

The GI and mid-handicap irons have a resemblance to the 712/714 AP1/AP2, IMO. I think this are very good looking irons.

Tour Edge Exotics iron set Review

Tour Edge Exotics EXS Iron Set Review

If you’re like most golfers you don’t know too much about the cure egg brand. Luckily this Tour Edge Exotics iron set review is on hand to tell you everything you need to know about these awesome game improvement irons.

Tour Edge Exotics EXS Iron Features

Spiderweb technology.

The first feature we’re going to cover of these tour edge exotic EXO ass irons is there spiderweb technology. This technology works to act as a spiderweb behind the club face enlarging the sweet spot making it easier for golfers to make quality contact.

This increase sweet spot is incredibly helpful for beginner or high handicap golfer’s. The larger sweet spot means if you’re not hitting the ball quite in the centre of the club you can still receive a great result.

LaunchPad Technology

The second feature we’re going to cover on these irons is there launchpad technology. These irons are fit with a polymer coating that works to improve the performance of the irons face.

The irons are coded with a special performance gel. It works to increase the spring effect as well as absorb shock. This feature will increase the ball speed as it leaves your club. As well as reduce shock and vibrations you will feel in your hands if you happen to hit the ball thin.

Extreme Toe Weighing

The extreme towing is another fantastic feature of these irons that make them great for beginners. This heavy toll waiting increases the forgiveness of this club by growing the Sweet Spot.

A 19 g tungsten weight is placed on the toe of this iron. What this does is increase the forgiveness of the iron. Therefore giving you quality results even if the ball is slightly miss hit.

Hollow Body Cavity

The hollow body cavity is yet another feature that makes these two were edge irons perfect for someone looking to improve their golf game. The hollow body cavity provide perimeter waiting and face flex in order to make the club more forgiving.

By allowing the face to flex you will not feel the iron spin in your hands. This is another aspect of this club that allows you to get some solid results. Even if the ball is hit off center.

Thin Top Line

The thin top line is more of an aesthetic feature that is built into these golf clubs. Since these are irons built for game improvement they often have a much thicker build. With a thinner top line this model will look more like an iron upon address giving you more confidence when addressing the ball .

Cost And Value

One of the best benefits of these clubs is their extremely low price tag. As of writing this these irons are currently priced just under $500. Receiving a brand new iron set for under $500 is significantly lower than average.

This makes this set a fantastic option for any golfers that are seriously looking to improve their golf game without breaking the bank.

What are the staff material options for these irons?

With these irons you were able to choose between a steel or a graphite shaft.

Are these clubs good for a beginner golfer?

Yes, these clubs are perfect for a beginner golfer. As you could see through our features portion of our view the build of this club is highly tailor towards those that are looking for more consistency.

The word forgiveness which came up a lot throughout her review is exactly what is needed for beginner golfers. This is allows them to get a more consistent result when hitting the ball and therefore makes the game much more fun.

As long as the beginner golfer is not a junior as of average height then these two were edge irons are a great option.

Would these clubs be good as a gift?

In order to determine if these clubs will be a good gift you need to determine what level of golfer you were buying for. If this person has been golfing all their life and has high-quality clubs and they likely won’t want to replace their iron set with a game improvement irons like these.

Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta Fairway Wood Review

More in fairway woods:.

Cleveland HALO XL Fairway Wood

50 Words or Less

The Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta fairway wood delivers the extreme distance that made the Exotics brand a favorite among better golfers.  E8 and E8 Beta offerings help to fit a wide variety of players.

Introduction

Whether on Tour or at your club championship, you will find plenty of Tour Edge Exotics fairway woods in the bags of better players.  This loyal following has been created because the company continues to use the best materials and cutting-edge construction to deliver maximum distance.  With their new E8 line, Tour Edge Exotics is bringing that distance to a wider range of players than ever before.

Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta Fairway Wood (6)

The Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta has a very traditional look at address that will definitely appeal to better players.  It has a matte black crown to reduce glare and a small alignment aid.

The E8 Beta is smaller than the standard E8.  The difference isn’t massive, but it is noticeable.  If you feel more confident with a bigger club, you’ll want to opt for the E8.

Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta Fairway Wood (8)

Sound & Feel

Given the ball speed and distance that the E8 Beta fairway wood produces, it’s appropriate that it sounds a bit more like a driver than a fairway wood.  It’s a touch louder than other fairway woods, but it lacks the metallic “tink” at impact.  Instead, the sound is more like the “thwack” of an old-school driver.

TEE E8 Beta LM Data

Performance

Tour Edge Exotics built its name on distance, and that distance is front and center with the E8 Beta.  As you can see, the ball speed is near driver levels (plenty of shots had perfect 1.5 smash factors) and the spin is low .  The E8 Beta is the lower launching, lower spinning of the two fairway woods, so if you tend to be a low ball hitter, opt for the E8.

What was impressive to me was that, especially for a low launching club, the E8 Beta was very easy to hit off the turf.  The face is not overly shallow, but I had no problem hitting it off the turf.  That’s not to say I hit shots with optimal launch – no club will fix my low ball flight completely – but even thin shots got airborne and had plenty of carry.

The E8 and E8 Beta are also Tour Edge Exotics’ first adjustable fairway woods.  In this case, the adjustability is for weight .  In the pictures of the sole, you can see the stock 9 gram x-shaped weight.  With the purchase of the weight kit, you can replace that with weights of 6, 11, or 14 grams to get the exact swing weight and feel that you prefer.

Though the E8 Beta is not adjustable for loft, Tour Edge does offer a comprehensive array of lofts so that you can optimize your launch and spin.  The E8 Beta is available in lofts of 12°, 13°, 15°, 16.5°, 18°.  The standard E8 doesn’t have the 12° option, but it does add a 21° 7 wood.

Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta Fairway Wood (1)

E8 vs E8 Beta

Tour Edge Exotics has two new fairway woods for 2015, the E8 and E8 Beta.  There are four key differences that you need to be aware of.  First is the face material: the E8’s face is made of 475 Carpenter Steel, the E8 Beta uses a Beta Titanium face.  Second, the center of gravity is lower on the E8 meaning it launches higher and more easily.  The E8 Beta is designed to produce a lower and lower-spinning ball flight. Third, the choices for stock shafts are very different.  With the E8 Beta you can choose between the Aldila Rogue Silver and Aldila Rogue Black.  The E8 comes stock with either a Mitsubishi Bassara or a Fujikura Pro.  Finally, as mentioned above, the E8 is larger than the E8 Beta.

Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta Fairway Wood (5)

There is no company in golf that delivers amazing fairway woods as consistently as Tour Edge Exotics .  With the E8 and E8 Beta fairway woods, they’re offering massive distance to a wider range of players than ever before.  Whether you prefer a larger look or a smaller one, a higher launching club or a more piercing trajectory, the Tour Edge E8 line has you covered.

I have an older model TEE fairway wood that I was given. (CB2). I know the shaft (stiff) is wrong for me but this has been my only hands on experience with Tour Edge. I tell you this because it is a rocket unlike any fairway wood I have ever hit. And being a weak 3 wood player, I have hit them all. I just don’t elevate it enough to play it consistently. So I am wondering, based on your experience, if I should look at the new E9, or shop for older E8. I will use it 90% off the deck. Is the new technology that much better?

' src=

Try both, see what works better for you.

Driver Reviews

Review: tour edge exotics e8 and e8 beta drivers.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

Pros:  A power grid behind the club face and a low-forward CG helps to increase ball speed, raise launch and lower spin. Both drivers offer premium stock shaft offerings at no upcharge.

Cons:  The Beta, in particular, is not very forgiving. The additional weight kit is also bit pricey ($50).

Who’s it for:  Better players with higher swing speeds looking for a classic-looking driver that can improve their launch conditions.

From the land of clubs more tour players would bag if “pay for play” didn’t exist, Tour Edge Exotics introduces the E8 and E8 Beta line of drivers for 2014/15. A refined power grid increases face flex to create top-of-the-industry ball speeds across the entire face. Essentially, this “grid” acts in a fashion similar to other channels or slots, which sit directly behind the face of the club. The club is engineered to use varied wall thicknesses that maximize the spring-like effect, while maintaining as much ball speed as possible on off-center strikes.

d0c13ff35b332cb21c26c45c3742c211

A lower and more forward center of gravity (CG) fashions a higher launch and lower spin, which means more total distance for both the E8 and E8 Beta. However, on the E8 Beta, the Power Grid is slightly narrower, which allows the CG to sit slightly more forward. The result is a lower launch and lower spin than the E8. That said, to take advantage of these launch characteristics, higher swing speeds are absolutely critical.

Both the E8 and E8 Beta offer “Shot Control Technology” with eight loft/lie settings at 0.5-degree increments from 8.5-to-12 degrees. Upright settings are offered at 9, 10 and 11 degrees for players looking to use the lie angle to help promote a draw.

Tour Edge Exotics E8 ($299)

The 460cc titanium head E8 is equipped with three stock shaft options: Mitsubishi Bassara E-Series, Fujikura Exotics Pro 57/62 and Fujikura Exotics Pro Tour 72/77. Stock length is 45.5 inches.

Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta ($399)

E8 Beta

The 440cc E8 Beta showcases the Aldila Rogue Silver or Aldila Rogue Black as stock shaft options and stock length is 45 inches. The “Beta” refers to the Beta titanium insert in driver’s face.

An additional weight kit is available for purchase ($50) and comes with three individual weights in 5, 10 and 12 grams.

Speed kills. While you can hit it farther by improving your launch conditions, the simplest way to pick up distance is to increase ball speed. That’s exactly what the E8 and E8 Beta are designed to do.

The “Power Grid” certainly does a nice job maintaining ball speeds on off-center contact. The concern with any driver that touts a low/forward CG is the loss in Moment of Inertia (MOI) aka “forgiveness.” I didn’t find either the E8 or E8 Beta to be as forgiving as other drivers with low/deep CG locations, but they were both more forgiving than the earliest industry models that introduced a more forward CG concept.

Ok, so which driver is best for you? If you have a swing speed typically north of 105 MPH, you owe it to yourself to give the Beta a run. This club is no doubt the lower-launching and more workable of the two.

If you’re south of 100 MPH or prefer a bit more forgiveness and higher ball flight, the E8 will likely be a much better fit. If you’re in the nasty netherworld of the low triple digits, give ‘em both a run and don’t be afraid to stick with the E8. It’s likely the added forgiveness is something you’ll fine handy.

The Numbers

Tour Edge Exotics E8 (9.5 degrees) with Fujikura Exotics Pro Tour 72S

  • Average Launch Angle: 15 degrees
  • Average Spin Rate: 2400 rpm
  • Average Ball Speed: 158 mph
  • Average Carry Distance: 275 yards
  • Average Total Distance: 311 yards

Tour Edge Exotics E8 Beta (9.5 degrees) with Aldila Rogue Silver 60S (tipped 0.5 inches)

  • Average Launch Angle: 14 degrees
  • Average Spin Rate: 2200 rpm
  • Average Ball Speed: 162 mph
  • Average Carry Distance: 281 yards
  • Average Total Distance: 323 yards

Comparative Data

Powerbilt AFO DFX (10.5 degrees) with Oban Kiyoshi 60 Stiff

  • Average Spin Rate: 2700 rpm
  • Average Ball Speed: 165 mph
  • Average Carry Distance: 296 yards
  • Average Total Distance: 326 yards

Cobra Bio Cell Pro (8.5 degrees) with Aldila Tour Green 65 TS

  • Average Launch Angle: 13.5 degrees
  • Average Spin Rate: 2100 rpm
  • Average Carry Distance: 278 yards
  • Average Total Distance: 324 yards

For each club, I hit 10-to-12 balls and excluded the two best and two worst. Both drivers were set at 9.5 degrees and played at standard length. I also deleted any obvious outliers/mishits. All distances were measured using a Flightscope X2 launch monitor and standard Callaway range balls.

Solid Scale: Tin Can: 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 – 6 – 7 – 8 – 9 – Glazed Persimmon

I give the E8 a “5” and the E8 Beta a “7”. The E8 has a sound/feel that isn’t likely to repel any potential buyers, but it’s not a club you have to demo because of the acoustics. The E8 Beta crafts a feeling at impact that reminded me of the CB series of fairway woods . It’s slightly muted, but firm in a dense yet “holy kinetic energy, Batman” kind of feeling.

I must admit my bias for traditional pear shaped heads and solid, thwack-tastic sounds at impact. I also prefer wooden bats to aluminum and real fireplaces to gas alternatives. As such, I tend to lean towards the deep-faced, E8 Beta and I’ve generally ascribed to the “less is more” school of design when it comes to aesthetics. A simple clean look at address is unencumbered by superfluous cosmetic nonsense in both E8 models. Simply simple.

The Takeaway

5f83a61e9dee6e39cad7f556e01b1a83

I like that Tour Edge isn’t pretending to have one driver that is both a jack and master of all trades, because there’s always a compromise. As a consumer, I appreciate the option to pick a club that best addresses my needs and then I can figure out how to mitigate the rest. If my first priority is low spin, I can start with the E8 Beta and see if I can get a loft/shaft combination that provides enough forgiveness for me to bag it.

If my absolute is forgiveness, then I can rock the E8 and mess with shafts to see if I can get the spin low enough without sacrificing launch conditions. Either way, having two uniquely different, yet dynamic clubs gives the consumer a plethora of options and all of them are good. I need lower spin and can generally find the center of the clubface (or close to it), so for me, the E8 Beta is the better choice, but my hunch is that the masses will gravitate toward the E8.

Review: Titleist 915D2 and 915D3 Drivers

Review: Ping G30 Driver

tour edge exotics e8 irons

I didn't grow up playing golf. I wasn't that lucky. But somehow the game found me and I've been smitten ever since. Like many of you, I'm a bit enthusiastic for all things golf and have a spouse which finds this "enthusiasm" borderline ridiculous. I've been told golf requires someone who strives for perfection, but realizes the futility of this approach. You have to love the journey more than the result and relish in frustration and imperfection. As a teacher and coach, I spend my days working with amazing middle school and high school student athletes teaching them to think, dream and hope. And just when they start to feel really good about themselves, I hand them a golf club!

I have had this in the Beta form for about three weeks. I absolutely love it. At nearly 70 yrs. of age I am not a player with a lot of swing speed, but I got the Stiff Rogue to keep the ball flight more manageable. It has done the trick. I have also gained distance and confidence. I have always hit a lot of fairways, but now I am many yards further down the fairway.

Having used the XGC7 Beta this season, this review sounds right on. It’s NOT the most forgiving driver. Anything off center towards the heel is nasty feeling and the toe shots have an odd, double hit feel. But good swings produce extremely good distance and a real solid thunk. I hate 460 CC heads at address but I think I may be better suited to the E8 rather than the Beta. The more concerning feature is the multitude of loft settings. Even the upright settings are tough to hit straight or draw. I really fight fades with this club. I’ve had to close stance and really work a draw swing to get it to behave. Much of it is my swing, but I hit other drivers straight with minimal setup changes. What’s kept it in my bag is that when I’m on, it is very long and I did have a perfect day with it this year (hitting fairways). I’ll try the E8 to see if I have any better results.

How are you getting ~50 yards of roll out? were you demoing the driver in a parking lot?

GolfWRX Spotlight: Tour Edge Exotics C721 driver

tour edge exotics e8 irons

Tour Edge’s Exotics line of high-end golf clubs has been known for excellent fairway wood and hybrid performance over the years. The Chicago-based company has been consistently putting out high-quality products, and golfers are really taking notice. The new line of C721 drivers, fairway woods, and hybrids take yet another big leap forward from last year’s EXS line.  

The new C721 driver takes a lot of technology from the 2020 EXS line and further refines and expands on it. I know it is a little cliche when companies say every model is their best ever, but Tour Edge is 100 percent right this time.

When unboxing the C721 the first thing I noticed was the much-improved looks and shape over the previous Tour Edge drivers. The biggest change to my eye is the added bulge, giving a more rounded and softened topline.

The overall shape of the C721 is slightly stretched from front to back, giving it just a hint of a triangular look. The Ridgeback is a titanium spine flanked by two carbon fiber wings that add stability and forgiveness to the head, but they can also work together and an additional aiming device to ensure you are lined up down the center of the fairway.  

tour edge exotics e8 irons

Getting the C721 out on the course is where you really start to appreciate all the technology that went into this driver. Well-struck shots are very long, very boring, and will hang with anything out on the market today. Center contact is rewarded with a long and very low spin shot that is just fun to hit.

The sound and feel are very solid, you can really feel the ball compress on the face as it leaves at high speed. The sound is more of a muted crack and much quieter than I anticipated. If you practice on an enclosed range your ears will thank you for your choice in drivers. Shots hit away from the center of the face retain a lot of ball speed and stay online really well.

My miss is low on the heel and those misses stayed in the air fairly well and went a good ways. Shots hit down on the heel or higher on the toe side still stay online really well due to the Ridgeback spine and rear weight. The C721 is just slightly higher than mid-launch for me, but the low spinning head never allowed my shots to balloon or rise even into the wind. I do wish the face was just a touch deeper as I had to play with my tee height in order to find the optimal setup. The better players will enjoy the neutral weighting and there seems to be very minimal draw built into the driver.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

Overall, the Tour Edge Exotics C721 driver is a great club that will probably be overlooked by too many golfers. If you are looking for added distance, a lot of forgiveness and want to keep some money in your pocket, then you should seriously take a look at Tour Edge.

Review: Ping’s G400 and G400 LST Drivers

tour edge exotics e8 irons

I still remember the first time I hit Ping’s G30 driver. It was July 2014, and I was at Ping’s HQ in Phoenix. Super low-spin drivers were all the rage at the time. With their forward center of gravity, they were helping golfers optimize their launch conditions beyond their wildest dreams: crazy high launch, ridiculously low spin. Many in the business, including myself, had one of these drivers and spent many launch monitor sessions trying to figure out how to get more distance from these high knuckleballs. The bad news was that forward-CG drivers, by nature, were really unforgiving. Bad shots were really short and crooked.

Before I knew the G30 was a big deal,  Marty Jertson , Ping’s Director of Product Development, explained to me his vision for the perfect driver inside a conference room at Ping Headquarters. In his eyes, the perfect driver didn’t have the low, forward center of gravity (CG) that was being touted at the time. Its CG was located as low and as rearward in the driver head as possible, which he said would offer the best of both worlds: optimized launch conditions on good shots, as well as the best possible forgiveness on bad shots.

Building the perfect driver was a long way off (and still is), but Jertson was excited where Ping had landed with the G30. When it was released , the driver was a powerful testament to his vision. Its rear-CG design created great distance on good and bad shots, and it was also a very straight driver. The G30 sold incredibly well and, as a result, the industry mostly shifted away from forward-CG drivers.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

It’s been nearly three years since the release of the G30, and Ping has just made another counterintuitive driver release. The company shrunk the size of its new G400 drivers in a climate where full-size drivers have become the norm. Granted, it’s only 15 cubic centimeters smaller, but it’s noticeable at address. Compared to the Ping G drivers they replace (which replaced the G30), the G400’s look like they cut carbs.

Despite their slimmer frames, however, the G400 drivers are actually more forgiving than the G drivers (which were even more forgiving than the G30). That’s why Ping representatives say smaller is actually better in the G400’s case. The drivers have the lowest, most rearward CG of any Ping drivers ever, and their smaller size is said to improve their aerodynamics so golfers can swing them fractionally faster. The other big change is a new face material made of T9S+ titanium, which is thinner and more flexible to help golfers generate more ball speed.

Ping_G400_LST_2

For this review, I wanted to put the G400 and G400 LST to the test against the G and the G LST drivers that they replace, so I took them to the  Launch Pad at Carl’s Golfland  in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. I hit five shots with each driver on Trackman IV, and to ensure as much of an apples-to-apples comparison as possible, I tested each driver head with the same shaft. Each driver head was adjusted to the same loft, or as close as possible.

Note: The G, G LST, and G400 drivers I tested were 10.5-degree heads adjusted to 9.5 degrees. The G400 LST had a loft of 10 degrees, and it was adjusted to 9.4 degrees.

PingG400_2017

In my personal driver tests, I don’t usually see a huge uptick in distance or accuracy when comparing the latest drivers to the most recent models from the same manufacturer. Improvements generally come in the form of improved head shaping, a better feel, or enhanced adjustability. That’s why I was surprised to see such a big change in my launch conditions and dispersion with the G400 drivers.

G400 Test Results: With the G400, I launched my drives an average of 1.6-degrees higher than I did with the G while dropping spin an average of 416 rpm. That led to a significant improvement in distance. With my swing speed and ball speed staying about the same, I added an average of 7.2 yards more carry distance and 8.7 yards more total distance.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

G400 LST Test Results:  First, a note about the G400 LST. It has a CG that’s slightly lower and more forward than the standard G400 driver to help golfers reduce spin. Like the G30 LST and G LST, it’s still very much a rear-CG driver, but its design helps high-speed golfers who can consistently find the center of the club face maximize distance without highjacking forgiveness. When I test Ping drivers, the LST is generally the model that creates the best performance, and the G400 LST was no exception. I saw an average of a 1.2-degree higher launch angle with all other things staying about the same when I compared it to the G LST. The result was an average of 6.6 yards more carry distance and 3.1 yards more total distance. It was the longest and straightest driver I hit in the test.

Note: Ping also sells a G400 SFT (Straight Flight Technology) driver, which has added draw bias. To learn more about it, click through  to tech story on the G400, G400 LST and G400 SFT drivers. 

G400_Dispertion

One way to explain the improved launch conditions is that I hit the G400 drivers more consistently. As you can see in the Trackman dispersion chart, I hit the G400 and G400 LST drivers straighter on average than the G and G LST. Is that its slightly enhanced forgiveness shining through? Maybe, maybe not.

To me, the changes Ping made to the look and feel of the driver were just as important as the performance difference I saw on Trackman. I’ve always preferred smaller driver heads, or at least 460-cubic-centimeter drivers that appear smaller than their size. For that reason, I felt more confident with the G400 drivers in my hands. I didn’t mind that I didn’t see any added swing speed or ball speed from the smaller driver head. I was sold on the looks alone.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

I also preferred the sound of the G400 drivers to the G drivers. There was definitely much more of a “thwack” than a “ping” at impact, which made the G400’s feel more powerful. Looks and feel are subjective, of course, but to me the improvement was night and day. I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that my fondness for the looks and feel of the G400 was at least a contributing factor to my improved performance in the test, if not the most important factor. When I like the way a club look at address, I tend to hit it better, and I know I’m not alone.

I do want readers to keep in mind that this was a one-person test and I hit a limited amount of balls. Yes, it’s a great indication that the G400 driver can be measurably better than a G driver, but it’s not a guarantee.

I also want to address the weaknesses of the G400 drivers. While they’re few, they could push golfers into another driver model in a fitting. Unlike  Callaway’s GBB Epic ,  TaylorMade’s M1 or  Titleist’s 917 drivers, the G400’s don’t have CG adjustability. That means there’s no way to fine tune ball flight outside of a shaft or loft adjustment. A bigger deal for some golfers might be the G400 crowns. Despite their smaller size, there’s still a lot to look at address, as was the case with the G drivers.

Ping_G400_LST_4

Aerodynamic features on the front of the crowns, “Turbulators,” have been thickened for the G400 release. There’s also Ping’s “DragonFly Technology,” a geometry on the back of the driver crowns that helps push CG lower and more rearward in the driver heads. I personally think the G400 crowns give the drivers an old-school, muscle car-like look, but there’s no question they won’t fly with all golfers.

Whatever your thoughts about what’s on top of the G400 drivers, there’s no question that what’s under the hood can offer something the G and G30 drivers did not. Maybe you’ll like the smaller head. Maybe you’ll prefer the quieter sound. Maybe the improved forgiveness will show up on a launch monitor or on the course. Or maybe you’ll just flat out rip a G400 farther and straighter down the middle like I did.

If that last bit happens, try not to second-guess it.

Members Choice: The Best Driver of 2017

tour edge exotics e8 irons

What determines the best driver on the market; is it the opinion of professional club fitters, professional golfers or testing results from a group of amateurs?

At GolfWRX, we believe all three sources can lead golfers to an answer. Being a website founded by passionate golfers with a mission to serve passionate golfers, though, we place a special emphasis on the opinions of our GolfWRX Members — the most knowledgeable group of golfers on the planet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively as GolfWRX Members. So who better to poll to get an initial indication of the best performing drivers so far in 2017?

So we asked them,  “What’s the best driver of 2017?” They voted for the three drivers they felt most worthy of the title and provided feedback about their selections in our special forum thread . You can see the results below (as of the first three weeks of voting), as well as quotes we pulled from GolfWRX Members about the drivers from our forum.

Remember that our polls will remain open for voting throughout the year, and we’re going to keep an eye on the percentages as more and more golfers have an opportunity to test these drivers. We’re also working on another Best Driver list , which will evaluate clubs in another important way. Stay tuned!

Keep in mind that there’s no single driver on the market that is the absolute best option for every golfer: that’s why nearly every manufacturer makes at least two different models. As this list indicates, however, some drivers are working better than others this year. Happy Testing!

Cobra King LTD Black (3.00 percent of votes)

3f7f45629f386b15ed7bbbaa529e0826

  • The General : All-black LTD is really clean looking. I’m about to cover up the orange on my LTD with lead tape. Orange is played out
  • mh7vw :  Love my LTD, but wish the black finish (or even this gray) didn’t have that subtle checkering you see in some like. Prefer plain black.
  • dbleag :  I am a fan of the black/orange combo.  The performance and sound of the LTD is very appealing to me.  I also like that the standard length is 45 inches. For me, that helps it be super-accurate. With the low-spin design, I hit it longest of the current offerings and can’t remember the last time I missed a fairway. Straight, solid, low spin and nice.

Mizuno JPX-900 (3.20 percent)

Mizuno_JPX_900_Driver

  • johnnythunders :  JPX goes straight. Best real-deal shaft and is long and very adjustable.
  • KT35 :  That blue head looks awesome sitting on the ground. I hit balls off the toe and heel and didn’t see the big drop off in distance like the previous models.
  • nmorton :  The JPX-900 is definitely more forgiving compared to the JPX-850, and sounds much better. Though they did sacrifice a bit by going with a little larger profile, but it’s easy to get used to. The graphics are so so, but this driver performs. I’m really digging the Evo II (shaft).
  • jay65 :  I can see that Mizuno is really making a decent effort with its drivers/fairways in terms of tech and aesthetics, and they compliment the new JPX-900 line of irons really well, but if they’re going to make any inroads they really have to address this issue of their custom shafts options. It’s rubbish.
  • bok006 :  The JPX-900, after being properly adjusted by the fitter, gave me an extra 20 yards just like that. My swing speed suggested I was borderline S to X (flex), but the fitter said unless I was fighting a hook I should stick with the S.
  • bubbagump : …the JPX-900, when properly fit, is just as long on a consistent basis than all the new models I tried in real life situations. It looks great, sounds solid and just knows the way to keep the ball in play.  
  • Chazb :  I’m 69 years old, have a swing speed of 91 mph and played nine with the JPX-900 this morning. It was in the 40s with a brisk wind hit it around 220 to 230 yards. It was a fairway finder, has great feel and is one of the easiest to control drivers I have ever hit. I can’t wait ’til it is warmer and can dial it in more. So far I have the two weights all the way forward for a lower flight and the other set with a draw bias with 10.5 degrees of loft. This driver is the real deal; it may not be the longest or the shortest, but it is a fairway finder which IMO makes it a winner.

Ping G (3.80 percent)

7adaa1412b79ca8c7cc5a0b788f55058

  • Wesquire : Ping G is the most forgiving so it wins.
  • bopper53 : Ping G hands down. Great distance and the most forgiving.
  • Dannydubbbs :  The Ping G series is just too forgiving. The distance is comparable between most models, but Ping always seems to win out with forgiveness.
  • Bruin Bear :  The Ping G is going to be overlooked because it’s looked at as “game improvement,” but this driver is a beast. I liked the LS, but it requires a faster swing to get results and in the cold outdoors I just don’t have that all the time. I think the G is the perfect blend of performance and forgiveness.
  • cmrl1986 :  Only reason I switched from the Ping G25 was that the G felt less harsh off the face. Same distance just about.

Cobra King F7+ (3.90 percent)

cec33621c8ab9450c778e79b3b280da1

  • EntourageLife : Ball really flies off face. Driver head controls spin well. Not one drive “ballooned” and trajectory was high and best of all… very easy to work ball right to left for a confident draw.
  • Gollie :  The F7+ is another great offering from Cobra… I didn’t get the “MAN, this is gonna take my LTD out of the bag” feeling, but it has very good sound, feel and performance.
  • J13 :  F7+ is a great offering from Cobra and IMO is in the top-3 drivers this year. Epic is the standout for me numbers wise, then M series and F7+ are right behind it. Love the Agera (shaft) in there!!! Such a great shaft; I can’t seem to get mine out of the bag.
  • Golfer from MO :  Hit both Cobras lefty and as a lefty the LTD is the shizzle. Last year it was the LTD and Big Bertha down to the absolute wire… the F7+ is more workable than the LTD, but not longer and a little worse on mishits.
  • Boognish :  I took a few swings with the F7+ at Golf Galaxy yesterday. 9.5 degrees with heaviest weight forward. The stock shaft is actually the same model I play in my GBB (albeit in smoked black instead of yellow). Ball flight and distance were similar to my GBB with good consistent sub-3000 backspin. Sound was OK, feel was harder than the GBB.
  • thechief16 :  Just from the range (no LM), I didn’t see a noticeable performance improvement with the F7+ over the original King LTD. And I like the look and sound/feel of the LTD better.

Ping G LS Tec (4.90 percent)

463210496f8e1487a5ff2fdcf38109a1

  • drvrwdge :  I played the G LS with the Ping Tour 65X (shaft) tipped an inch for about a year. Just put the HZRDUS Yellow 75 6.5 tipped an inch and never thought it was possible, but it’s longer and straighter. Best driver shaft combo I’ve ever hit. You can feel that HZRDUS throughout the entire swing. Really gives you a solid connected feel.
  • Mtngolfer1 : I am not sure that I would consider this a 2017 Driver, but my vote went to the Ping G LS Tec. The fact that my G is still holding its own against the latest 2017 releases has me very excited to see what Ping will release later this year.
  • 3woodvt :  Fairway finder and plenty long.
  • pitchinwedge :  I’ve found the LS to be nearly as fade biased as the M family. I get pretty good results with the LS by making a conscious effort to make more of an in-to-out swing. Any lapse in concentration and everything goes right. The M’s require even more effort, which is the reason I stayed with the LS instead.
  • 3 Jack Par :  After an up and down year with the G LS, I’ve actually recently gone back to my G30 LS head. I only have a couple of rounds as a sample so far, so I can’t really draw a conclusion about whether one or the other is better, but with the same shaft it seems like my G30 head might be a little longer. Honestly, the performance differences are pretty minimal if you really compare the two generations.

Titleist 917D3 (5.30 percent)

f5830abf21efeb00cab7cbe4329a9972

  • Gava :  The 917D3 is in my bag now, and I’ve found it incredibly long with a recently purchased Graphite Design Tour AD MJ 7TX shaft. Feel and accuracy has been a real improvement as well.
  • Togatown22 :  I find my 917D3 to be just as forgiving as my 915D2 was, and man do I prefer looking down at the head shape and color versus the 915. Very confidence inspiring.
  • NIxhex524 :  I would definitely give the D3 a whirl. I feel like Titleist has made great strides at making the smaller head way more hittable for us ams.
  • KPH808 :  So in conclusion, I was hitting the ball about 9 yards further on average and 3-4 mph faster ball speeds with the 917D3 vs. the 915 D4. The biggest thing for me was the forgiveness between the two; the 917D3 was more forgiving on mishits.
  • brushie :  The 917D3 head feels soft like the 910 and sounds great. I never had an issue with the 915 sound; it wasn’t great, but it didn’t bother me too much. This is much better, though. The 917D3 head shape is perfect to my eye as well. The area where the 917 shines is forgiveness.

TaylorMade M1 440 (5.35 percent)

TaylorMade_M1_440_Feat

  • Tigermatt31 : The M1 440 is best driver I’ve had ever.
  • TollBros : The M1   440 is definitely lower spin than the M1 460 or M2 from last year. Launch angle isn’t really any lower, but spin is lower for sure.
  • specimania :  This year’s 440 is more forgiving.
  • MCoz :  Yes, this 440 is more forgiving, and yet it also appears to be more workable than both of the previous M1 and M2s.
  • nitram :  To save you a bunch of reading and crunching numbers, I quickly concluded there was a little more forgiveness and exactly +0.4 mph ball speed with the 440. By forgiveness I simply mean this: A 1.48 smash 440 will give you the same ball speed and distance as a 1.49/1.50 430. But if you get a 1.50 from both there is no measurable gain. Side-to-side dispersion was better by 4.7 feet with the 440. Workability was a wash between them, although the 430 seems a bit more fade biased whereas I’ll describe the 440 as a scosche more neutral.
  • tj24:   I hit the M1 440 with my Aldila RIP at an 80-gram X-flex. For me, the spin numbers were around 1700 rpm which is probably to low for my swing. I did, however, like the shape of the head and I felt like I could easily work the ball both ways.
  • halfsumo :  I really think they nailed it with the shape of this 440 head. Nice pear shape, no weird bulges or ridges that you have to get used to.

Titleist 917D2 (6.65 percent)

4edf1bce10b81caa57e8ccc4079bd3fd

  • tsletten : Love the sound of the 917D2.
  • bladehunter : N o doubt the 917D2 is an accurate, forgiving driver that doesn’t look as big as it is and sounds fantastic .
  • JStang :  Maybe it’s just me, but I find the face to be more shallow (top to bottom) with the 917D2 than other drivers that I’ve tried lately.
  • LuckyLowbrow :  I was actually spinning it too low with the D4. Going up to the D2 normalized my spin rate, but led to such an improvement in consistency across the face.

TaylorMade M1 460 2017 (11.81 percent)

TaylorMade_M1_460-Feat

  • Ereim :  I ended up going with the M1 460. It gave me a slightly tighter dispersion, and I liked looking down at it slightly more.
  • jdenham15 : The  2017 TaylorMade M1 is a great driver, but I tend to miss wide right and struggled to turn it over.
  • ZBigStick:   The   M1 460 gave me the best results. Was able to increase launch without much added spin with the (T-Track) weight. Feel is good and felt forgiving; dispersion results backing that up.
  • BillMurrayGolfing :  The face is hot, receptive, thin and makes a nice sound. I like that.
  • JStang :  Sound and feel were both fantastic. I couldn’t ask for much more in the sound and feel department than what this club offers. Plenty of feedback was provided based on impact as I would expect. I could easily tell where I missed based on feel.
  • tnord :  Just as another tester found, moving the weight back and forward absolutely does impact how the club sounds. I’m much more a fan of the weight back.
  • chickenpotpie :  Moving the slider to the draw position made the feel of the driver a little harsher. Feel was much much smoother with that weight in the middle. I didn’t see any such changes with the front/rear slider.

TaylorMade M2 2017 (11.86 percent)

M2_Speed_Pocket

  • ZBigStick :  I liked the feel of the new M2 but seemed to get better results and numbers with the new M1. Could be the extra 5 grams of head weight? It was dynamite with the GD TP-6 (shaft)!
  • erock9174 :  On Trackman it didn’t put up the most ball speed, but counting all shots the M2 had the longest average distance.
  • gripandrip :  The M2 seems to have a little bit of a fade bias for me. And the head is HUGE. Maybe it’s a mental thing to be able to turnover a head that large.
  • Bomber_11 :  M2 has very big shoes to fill, as the 2016 M2 was arguably one of the best drivers of the last 3-4 years.
  • LONG&STR8 :  It’s hard to ignore the sound of the new M2. That may be TaylorMade’s biggest fail with that driver, as the sound and feel was one of the best things about the first version that I’ll have in the bag until something better comes along.
  • Z1ggy16 :  The new M2 was terrible for me, not sure why. Unsure if it was the shaft I used but it spun up like a monster and ball speeds weren’t any better than previous M2.
  • Peanut191 :  I don’t really think that the new M2 was much of a step backward, probably more that it doesn’t seem like a big step forward compared to last year’s model. I was hitting my 2016 M2 against a 2017 M2 indoors (which usually amplifies the louder, more obnoxious sound) and I didn’t notice that much of a difference in sound. It could have been that I might have just happened to get a hold of a head that was more muted than normal with the new one, but I just didn’t notice much difference.  Performance wise, I could tell that the 2017 was slightly more forgiving than the 2016 model, but I was basically getting the same ball speed and spin numbers, so I didn’t see the need to upgrade.
  • gioguy21 : Played 54 holes this weekend. The M2 was as reliable as it could get. I hit 11/12 fairways Friday, 10/12 Saturday and 5/9 or so yesterday (windy). Controllable, just wants to go straight. The sound no longer bothers me. I think it’s when hitting indoors or in range bays that it gets unbearably loud. Makes a different sound when hit on the screws I’ve found, similar to last years M2/M1 with less high-pitched ring. The forgiveness is very obvious, as I hit a couple that were close to center of the face but either high or little out toward the toe that flew similar trajectory and distance to how a well struck shot would react. I think where this driver really shines is the ability to either tee it high and hit it with higher trajectory or the ability to hit it lower with a low tee (3/4 of the ball under the crown) and hit laser beams that don’t move left or right.
  • G-Bone :  From what I’ve seen on Trackman, 2017 M1 was a big jump from 2016; however, 2016 M2 was so good, 2017 is a minor jump.

Callaway GBB Epic (14.91 percent)

GBB_Epic_Hero

  • HDTVMAN : I hit both  the Callaway Big Bertha Fusion and Epic with a 44.5-inch UST Recoil F3 shaft and the results were very close. From customer testing, it appears the Epic is longer for those with higher (95+) swing speeds. I have also seen that 44.25-44.5-inch lengths promote tighter dispersion with customers, no loss of distance and better over-all drives.
  • mbbrewer :  Tried them all and for me Epic was the one. Fastest ball speed, lowest spin and tightest dispersion.
  • Ereim : Epic felt great, looked great and the numbers were basically 99.9 percent optimized for my swing.
  • johnnylongballz72 :  There is Epic and there is the M series… then there is everyone else. The votes here show it, the PGA Tour use shows it and launch monitors everywhere show it.
  • misplacedtexan83 : GBB  Epic/Sub Zero pushed the envelop in design and materials to produce increased ball speed and gains. For once a driver did what a company said it would do.
  • GolfWRX members gain an average of 11 yards with the Callaway GBB Epic drivers

Callaway GBB Epic Sub Zero (16.91 percent)

GBB_Epic_Sub_Zero_Hero

  • jdenham15 : I tested the Epic Sub Zero and Epic against my 2016 TaylorMade M1 and the ball speed was 5 mph higher on average, which gave me about 10 yards more carry disstance. That was great, but the part that sold me was the forgiveness. I love my Epic Sub Zero. I feel like it’s easier to turn over and I can work it both ways.
  • Z1ggy16 :  Sub Zero was hands down the best, including my gaming M1 (yeah, not even top-3) due to the combination of lower spin, good forgiveness and feel and looks.
  • jimhaire : I had a 2016 M2 and went with the Epic Sub Zero. The look at address suited my eye and the feel off the face was better for me. And the club went straight.
  • Sef : I have tested a lot of these drivers and for me the Epic Sub Zero was so much better than everything else. I wish I could just apply all three votes to it.

The summer months (June-August) are a great time to travel to Moscow to take advantage of the enjoyable mild temperatures. This is considered peak travel season. Bear in mind that hotel prices rise along with the temperatures!

when to visit moscow

If you’re planning a trip to Moscow during fall (September-November) try to plan for early fall. This way the temperatures will still be pleasant and winter won’t be threatening.

Russian winters (December-February) are not for the faint of heart as Napoleon learned to his peril. Some days the sun will be out for less than an hour, and snow is guaranteed. Although winters are exceptionally cold, this is when you’ll get a true glimpse of the Moscow experience!

The best time to visit Moscow is during spring  (March-May). The temperatures will begin to creep up and the sun begins to shine for significant portions of the day. Hotel rates will also have yet to skyrocket into peak ranges!

The five-domed Cathedral of the Dormition is considered the most famous. It was built from 1475–1479 by an Italian architect and has served as a wedding and coronation place for great princes, tsars, and emperors of Russia. Church services are given in the Kremlin’s numerous cathedrals on a regular basis.

The Grand Kremlin Palace was the former Tsar’s Moscow residence and today it serves as the official workplace of the President of the Russian Federation (Vladimir Putin seems to have bagged that title for life) .

St. Basils Cathedral

The interior of the church surprises most people when they visit. In contrast to the large exterior, the inside is not so much one large area, but rather a collection of smaller areas, with many corridors and small rooms. There are 9 small chapels and one mausoleum grouped around a central tower.

Visiting the inside is like walking through a maze, there are even small signs all around the cathedral tracing where to walk, and pointing you in the right direction! The walls are meticulously decorated and painted with intricate floral designs and religious themes.

Godzillas Hostel is located in the center of Moscow, just a short walk from all the major tourist attractions and the metro station.

  • Towels Included

Cosmonautics Museum | Alexander Garden | Ostankino Tower | Izmaylovo District | Soviet Arcade Museum

Now that we’ve covered what to do in Moscow in 2 days, if you’re able to spend more time in the city you’re going to need more attractions to fill your time. Here are a few more really cool things to do in Moscow we recommend!

Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics

  • Hear the timeline of the ‘space race’ from the Russian perspective
  • This museum is fun for both adults and children!
  • Admission is USD $4.00

The Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics is a museum dedicated to space exploration! The museum explores the history of flight, astronomy, space exploration, space technology, and space in the arts. It houses a large assortment of Soviet and Russian space-related exhibits, and the museum’s collection holds approximately 85,000 different items!

Memorial Museum of Cosmonautics

The museum does an excellent job of telling the full story of the exciting space race between the USSR and the US! It highlights the brightest moments in Russian history and humanity and is very interesting and fun for all ages!

If you’re a fan of space or just curious about gaining insight into Russia’s fascinating history of space exploration, make sure to add this to your 3 day itinerary in Moscow!

The Alexander Garden

  • A tranquil place to relax near the Red Square
  • Green lawns dotted with sculptures and lovely water features
  • The park is open every day and has no entrance fee

The Alexander Garden was one of the first urban public parks in Moscow! The garden premiered in 1821 and was built to celebrate Russia’s victory over Napoleon’s forces in 1812!

The park is beautiful and well maintained with paths to walk on and benches to rest on. The park contains three separate gardens: the upper garden, middle garden, and lower garden.

The Alexander Garden

Located in the upper garden, towards the main entrance to the park is the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier with its eternal flame. This monument was created in 1967 and contains the body of a soldier who fell during the Great Patriotic War!

The park stretches along all the length of the western Kremlin wall for about half a mile. Due to its central location in the city, it’ll be easily accessible when you’re out exploring The Red Square.

It provides a bit of relief from the city’s high-energy city streets. Bring a picnic lunch, go for a walk, or just sit and people watch, this is one of the best Moscow sites to wind-down and relax!

Ostankino Television Tower

  • Television and radio tower in Moscow
  • Currently the tallest free-standing structure in Europe
  • Make sure you bring your passport when you visit, you can’t go up without it!

For spectacular views of the city, make sure to add the Ostankino Television Tower to your itinerary for Moscow! This impressive free-standing structure provides stunning views of the city in every direction. The glass floor at the top also provides great alternative views of the city!

Ostankino Television Tower

It takes just 58 seconds for visitors to reach the Tower’s observation deck by super fast elevator. The tower is open every day for long hours and is a great site in Moscow to check out! There is even a restaurant at the top where you can enjoy rotating views of the city while you dine on traditional Russian cuisine or European cuisine!

The tower is somewhat of an architectural surprise in a city that is not known for skyscrapers! To see the city from a new perspective, make sure to add this stop to your Moscow itinerary!

Izmaylovo District

  • The most popular attractions in this district are the kremlin and the flea market
  • Outside of the city center and easy to reach via metro
  • Most popular during the summer and on weekends

Travel outside the city center and discover a unique area of the city! The Izmaylovo District is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, and one of the coolest places to see in Moscow! The two main attractions we recommend checking out are the Kremlin and the flea market.

The Izmailovo Kremlin was established as a cultural center and molded after traditional Russian architecture. This colorful complex is home to several single-subject museums, including a Russian folk art museum and a vodka museum!

Izmaylovo District

Next to the Kremlin is the Izmailovo open-air market, which dates back to the 17th century! The market is connected to the Izmailovo Kremlin by a wooden bridge. Pick up all your Russian souvenirs here, including traditional handicrafts, paintings, books, retro toys, and Soviet memorabilia!

You will find many hand-made and hand-painted options available at higher prices, as well as mass-produced souvenir options at lower prices!

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

  • Closed on Mondays
  • Filled with old arcade games that visitors get to try out!
  • The museum also includes a small cafe and burger shop

For something a little different, check out the Museum of Soviet Arcade Games! The museum features roughly 60 machines from the Soviet era, including video games, pinball machines, and collaborative hockey foosball! The machines inside the museum were produced in the USSR in the mid-1970s.

Museum of Soviet Arcade Games

The best part is, most of the games are still playable! Purchase tickets and try the games out for yourself! The museum also has a neat little screening room that plays old Soviet cartoons and an area with Soviet magazines! This unique attraction is a fun addition to a 3 day itinerary in Moscow, and an attraction that all ages will enjoy! 

Whether you’re spending one day in Moscow, or more, safety is an important thing to keep in mind when traveling to a big city! Overall, Moscow is a very safe place to visit. However, it is always recommended that tourists take certain precautions when traveling to a new destination!

The police in Moscow is extremely effective at making the city a safe place to visit and do their best to patrol all of the top Moscow, Russia tourist attractions. However, tourists can still be a target for pickpockets and scammers.

Moscow has a huge flow of tourists, therefore there is a risk for pickpocketing. Simple precautions will help eliminate your chances of being robbed. Stay vigilant, keep your items close to you at all times, and don’t flash your valuables!

If you’re planning a solo Moscow itinerary, you should have no need to worry, as the city is also considered safe for solo travelers, even women. Stay in the populated areas, try and not travel alone late at night, and never accept rides from strangers or taxis without a meter and correct signage.

The threat of natural disasters in Moscow is low, with the exception of severe winters when the temperature can dip below freezing! Bring a good, warm jacket if you visit in Winter.

However, please note that Russian views on homsexuality are far less accepting than those in Western Europe. Likewise, Non-Caucasian travellers may sadly encounter racism in Russia .

Don’t Forget Your Travel Insurance for Moscow

ALWAYS sort out your backpacker insurance before your trip. There’s plenty to choose from in that department, but a good place to start is Safety Wing .

They offer month-to-month payments, no lock-in contracts, and require absolutely no itineraries: that’s the exact kind of insurance long-term travellers and digital nomads need.

About This Item

EXOTICS EXD IRONS The EXd irons feature the largest free-standing face with the deepest undercut cavity manufactured by Exotics. The unsupported face is extremely hot and able to flex more at impact for profound distance. Pushing face flexibility even farther, engineers developed an advanced Variable Face Thickness (VFT) design that produces greater spring effect and forgiveness on more areas of the face. The 431 stainless steel irons feature a generous offset design for added forgiveness helping players return to square at impact. The long irons (3, 4, 5, 6) have stronger lofts with low Center of Gravity (C.G.) positioning for huge distances. The C.G. in each iron is designed for perfect progression iron to iron to improve club head speed at impact. Similar to the Exotics E8 irons, two high-density tungsten weights are positioned in the heel and toe increasing the moment of inertia (MOI) and stabilizing the club head even on off-center ball strikes. This added stability provides power and accuracy, even from difficult lies. A new, soft thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) insert is encased within the cavity to provide a soft, responsive feel at impact. Features:

  • Deepest undercut cavity ever developed in an Exotics iron delivers exceptional forgiveness
  • Free-standing face design offers added flexibility at impact for maximum distance
  • Progressive center of gravity position throughout the set maximizes performance in each iron
  • Two high-density tungsten sole weights on the heel and toe deliver maximum stability on contact

Drone attacks in Moscow’s glittering business district leave residents on edge

People pause on a walkway alongside the Moscow River opposite the "Moscow City" business district

  • Show more sharing options
  • Copy Link URL Copied!

The glittering towers of the Moscow City business district dominate the skyline of the Russian capital. The sleek glass-and-steel buildings — designed to attract investment amid an economic boom in the early 2000s — are a dramatic, modern contrast to the rest of the more than 800-year-old city.

Now they are a sign of its vulnerability, following a series of drone attacks that rattled some Muscovites and brought the war in Ukraine home to the seat of Russian power .

The attacks on Sunday and Tuesday aren’t the first to hit Moscow — a drone even struck the Kremlin harmlessly in May. But these latest blasts, which caused no casualties but blew out windows on a high-rise building and sent glass cascading to the streets, seemed particularly unsettling.

“It’s very frightening because you wake up at night hearing explosions,” said a woman who identified herself only as Ulfiya as she walked her dog, adding that she lived in a nearby building. Like other Muscovites interviewed by the Associated Press, she did not identify herself further out of fear of retribution or for her personal safety.

Another resident, who gave her name as Ekaterina, said Tuesday’s blast “sounded like thunder.”

“I think for the first time, I got really scared,” she said. “I don’t understand how people in a war zone can live like this every day and not go mad.”

World & Nation

Russia says Moscow and Crimea hit by Ukrainian drones while Russian forces bombard Danube port

Russian authorities accuse Ukraine of a drone attack on Moscow, while Russia continues barrage on ports, striking on the Danube River.

July 24, 2023

The Russian Defense Ministry said it shot down two Ukrainian drones outside Moscow and had electronically jammed another, sending it crashing into the IQ-Quarter skyscraper that houses government offices including the Ministry of Economic Development, the Ministry of Digital Development and Communications and the Ministry of Industry and Trade — the same building that was hit Sunday.

A cordon went up around the building and personnel from the fire department and the Russian Investigative Committee were at the scene. Hours later, residents strolled through the district along the Moscow River or sat on benches in the sunshine. By about 1 p.m. Tuesday, workers were already starting to replace damaged windows.

The business district, a 10-minute subway ride west of the Kremlin, is home to some of Moscow’s flashiest restaurants, offering far-reaching views of the capital and a menu of upscale fare like three types of caviar, shellfish from Russia’s Far East and French cuisine.

But there was no escaping the grim news.

While Russian state television has largely played down the strikes, one channel sandwiched a segment on how Moscow’s air defenses successfully intercepted the drones in between reports highlighting Russian attacks on Ukraine.

Sleepless in Kyiv: In Ukraine’s capital, the stress of war weighs on everyone. How do people cope?

How do citizens of Kyiv cope with the sleep deprivation and stress from Russia’s war on Ukraine? Some push it down, some try yoga or dancing.

July 5, 2023

Mykhailo Podolyak, an advisor to President Volodymyr Zelensky, said in Ukraine that Moscow “is rapidly getting used to a full-fledged war,” without confirming or denying Kyiv’s involvement in the drone attacks that in recent days have struck from the capital to the Crimean Peninsula.

After Sunday’s strike, the Kremlin said security would be ramped up.

Still, the size of the drone that hit the Moscow City district led analysts to question the effectiveness of the capital’s air defenses, suggesting it could have been launched from Ukraine.

“If this is the case, this would be rather embarrassing for Russia’s air defenses. If a drone has been in Russian airspace for hours, air defenses should have picked it up earlier and shot it down earlier,” said Ulrike Franke, an expert in drones and military technology at the European Council on Foreign Relations.

While they haven’t caused much physical damage, bringing the drone campaign to Moscow “blows holes in Russia’s narrative that the war on Ukraine is successful and that it is being prosecuted far away from any consequences for the Russian people themselves,” said Keir Giles, a Russia expert at the Chatham House think tank in London.

“That is something which is going to be harder and harder for Russia’s propaganda machine to explain away,” he said.

LVIV, UKRAINE -- JUNE 20, 2023: Uliana, 78, leans her head back as Captain Mishchenko supports her from behind as she mourns for Yuriy Sikyrynsky, her son who was killed in action near Rozdolivka, during a military funeral for three soldiers killed in action, at the Saints Peter and Paul Garrison Church in Lviv, Ukraine, Tuesday, June 20, 2023. UkraineOs summer counteroffensive against invading Russian troops is exacting a heavy but undisclosed toll on the armies of both sides. In towns and cities across Ukraine, as bodies are returned home for burial, the burden of grief grows. (MARCUS YAM / LOS ANGELES TIMES)

In Ukraine, a harvest of death as bodies of the fallen are returned to their hometowns

Even far from Ukraine’s front lines, military funerals set off waves of mourning. ‘You can’t see an end to it,’ one chaplain says as the war drags on.

June 26, 2023

A Muscovite who identified himself to the AP only as Eldar summed up the strikes this way: “We attack them, they attack us. And it’s obvious that they will succeed somewhere, and we will succeed somewhere. We should try to strengthen the defense.”

In Odintsovo, where some of the drones were downed about 18 miles southwest of the capital, some residents discussed the events on their local Telegram channel.

One woman talked about hearing noises that turned out to be a car or improperly closed trash containers, and seeing what she thought were drones but actually were a flock of birds, a plane and a wind-blown plastic bag.

“How is it possible to live like this?” she asked the group.

“Stop creating panic,” one member admonished her.

“If you hear a noise, be happy because it hasn’t hit you,” added another.

Burrows reported from Tallinn, Estonia.

The Comprehensive Guide to Moscow Nightlife

  • Posted on April 14, 2018 July 26, 2018
  • by Kings of Russia
  • 8 minute read

tour edge exotics e8 irons

Moscow’s nightlife scene is thriving, and arguably one of the best the world has to offer – top-notch Russian women, coupled with a never-ending list of venues, Moscow has a little bit of something for everyone’s taste. Moscow nightlife is not for the faint of heart – and if you’re coming, you better be ready to go Friday and Saturday night into the early morning.

This comprehensive guide to Moscow nightlife will run you through the nuts and bolts of all you need to know about Moscow’s nightclubs and give you a solid blueprint to operate with during your time in Moscow.

What you need to know before hitting Moscow nightclubs

Prices in moscow nightlife.

Before you head out and start gaming all the sexy Moscow girls , we have to talk money first. Bring plenty because in Moscow you can never bring a big enough bankroll. Remember, you’re the man so making a fuzz of not paying a drink here or there will not go down well.

Luckily most Moscow clubs don’t do cover fees. Some electro clubs will charge 15-20$, depending on their lineup. There’s the odd club with a minimum spend of 20-30$, which you’ll drop on drinks easily. By and large, you can scope out the venues for free, which is a big plus.

Bottle service is a great deal in Moscow. At top-tier clubs, it starts at 1,000$. That’ll go a long way with premium vodka at 250$, especially if you have three or four guys chipping in. Not to mention that it’s a massive status boost for getting girls, especially at high-end clubs.

Without bottle service, you should estimate a budget of 100-150$ per night. That is if you drink a lot and hit the top clubs with the hottest girls. Scale down for less alcohol and more basic places.

Dress code & Face control

Door policy in Moscow is called “face control” and it’s always the guy behind the two gorillas that gives the green light if you’re in or out.

In Moscow nightlife there’s only one rule when it comes to dress codes:

You can never be underdressed.

People dress A LOT sharper than, say, in the US and that goes for both sexes. For high-end clubs, you definitely want to roll with a sharp blazer and a pocket square, not to mention dress shoes in tip-top condition. Those are the minimum requirements to level the playing field vis a vis with other sharply dressed guys that have a lot more money than you do. Unless you plan to hit explicit electro or underground clubs, which have their own dress code, you are always on the money with that style.

Getting in a Moscow club isn’t as hard as it seems: dress sharp, speak English at the door and look like you’re in the mood to spend all that money that you supposedly have (even if you don’t). That will open almost any door in Moscow’s nightlife for you.

Types of Moscow Nightclubs

In Moscow there are four types of clubs with the accompanying female clientele:

High-end clubs:

These are often crossovers between restaurants and clubs with lots of tables and very little space to dance. Heavy accent on bottle service most of the time but you can work the room from the bar as well. The hottest and most expensive girls in Moscow go there. Bring deep pockets and lots of self-confidence and you have a shot at swooping them.

Regular Mid-level clubs:

They probably resemble more what you’re used to in a nightclub: big dancefloors, stages and more space to roam around. Bottle service will make you stand out more but you can also do well without. You can find all types of girls but most will be in the 6-8 range. Your targets should always be the girls drinking and ideally in pairs. It’s impossible not to swoop if your game is at least half-decent.

Basic clubs/dive bars:

Usually spots with very cheap booze and lax face control. If you’re dressed too sharp and speak no Russian, you might attract the wrong type of attention so be vigilant. If you know the local scene you can swoop 6s and 7s almost at will. Usually students and girls from the suburbs.

Electro/underground clubs:

Home of the hipsters and creatives. Parties there don’t mean meeting girls and getting drunk but doing pills and spacing out to the music. Lots of attractive hipster girls if that is your niche. That is its own scene with a different dress code as well.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

What time to go out in Moscow

Moscow nightlife starts late. Don’t show up at bars and preparty spots before 11pm because you’ll feel fairly alone. Peak time is between 1am and 3am. That is also the time of Moscow nightlife’s biggest nuisance: concerts by artists you won’t know and who only distract your girls from drinking and being gamed. From 4am to 6am the regular clubs are emptying out but plenty of people, women included, still hit up one of the many afterparty clubs. Those last till well past 10am.

As far as days go: Fridays and Saturdays are peak days. Thursday is an OK day, all other days are fairly weak and you have to know the right venues.

The Ultimate Moscow Nightclub List

Short disclaimer: I didn’t add basic and electro clubs since you’re coming for the girls, not for the music. This list will give you more options than you’ll be able to handle on a weekend.

Preparty – start here at 11PM

Classic restaurant club with lots of tables and a smallish bar and dancefloor. Come here between 11pm and 12am when the concert is over and they start with the actual party. Even early in the night tons of sexy women here, who lean slightly older (25 and up).

The second floor of the Ugolek restaurant is an extra bar with dim lights and house music tunes. Very small and cozy with a slight hipster vibe but generally draws plenty of attractive women too. A bit slower vibe than Valenok.

Very cool, spread-out venue that has a modern library theme. Not always full with people but when it is, it’s brimming with top-tier women. Slow vibe here and better for grabbing contacts and moving on.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

High-end: err on the side of being too early rather than too late because of face control.

Secret Room

Probably the top venue at the moment in Moscow . Very small but wildly popular club, which is crammed with tables but always packed. They do parties on Thursdays and Sundays as well. This club has a hip-hop/high-end theme, meaning most girls are gold diggers, IG models, and tattooed hip hop chicks. Very unfavorable logistics because there is almost no room no move inside the club but the party vibe makes it worth it. Strict face control.

Close to Secret Room and with a much more favorable and spacious three-part layout. This place attracts very hot women but also lots of ball busters and fakes that will leave you blue-balled. Come early because after 4am it starts getting empty fast. Electronic music.

A slightly kitsch restaurant club that plays Russian pop and is full of gold diggers, semi-pros, and men from the Caucasus republics. Thursday is the strongest night but that dynamic might be changing since Secret Room opened its doors. You can swoop here but it will be a struggle.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

Mid-level: your sweet spot in terms of ease and attractiveness of girls for an average budget.

Started going downwards in 2018 due to lax face control and this might get even worse with the World Cup. In terms of layout one of the best Moscow nightclubs because it’s very big and bottle service gives you a good edge here. Still attracts lots of cute girls with loose morals but plenty of provincial girls (and guys) as well. Swooping is fairly easy here.

I haven’t been at this place in over a year, ever since it started becoming ground zero for drunken teenagers. Similar clientele to Icon but less chic, younger and drunker. Decent mainstream music that attracts plenty of tourists. Girls are easy here as well.

Sort of a Coyote Ugly (the real one in Moscow sucks) with party music and lots of drunken people licking each others’ faces. Very entertaining with the right amount of alcohol and very easy to pull in there. Don’t think about staying sober in here, you’ll hate it.

Artel Bessonitsa/Shakti Terrace

Electronic music club that is sort of a high-end place with an underground clientele and located between the teenager clubs Icon and Gipsy. Very good music but a bit all over the place with their vibe and their branding. You can swoop almost any type of girl here from high-heeled beauty to coked-up hipsters, provided they’re not too sober.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

Afterparty: if by 5AM  you haven’t pulled, it’s time to move here.

Best afterparty spot in terms of trying to get girls. Pretty much no one is sober in there and savage gorilla game goes a long way. Lots of very hot and slutty-looking girls but it can be hard to tell apart who is looking for dick and who is just on drugs but not interested. If by 9-10am you haven’t pulled, it is probably better to surrender.

The hipster alternative for afterparties, where even more drugs are in play. Plenty of attractive girls there but you have to know how to work this type of club. A nicer atmosphere and better music but if you’re desperate to pull, you’ll probably go to Miks.

Weekday jokers: if you’re on the hunt for some sexy Russian girls during the week, here are two tips to make your life easier.

Chesterfield

Ladies night on Wednesdays means this place gets pretty packed with smashed teenagers and 6s and 7s. Don’t pull out the three-piece suit in here because it’s a “simpler” crowd. Definitely your best shot on Wednesdays.

If you haven’t pulled at Chesterfield, you can throw a Hail Mary and hit up Garage’s Black Music Wednesdays. Fills up really late but there are some cute Black Music groupies in here. Very small club. Thursday through Saturday they do afterparties and you have an excellent shot and swooping girls that are probably high.

Shishas Sferum

This is pretty much your only shot on Mondays and Tuesdays because they offer free or almost free drinks for women. A fairly low-class club where you should watch your drinks. As always the case in Moscow, there will be cute girls here on any day of the week but it’s nowhere near as good as on the weekend.

tour edge exotics e8 irons

In a nutshell, that is all you need to know about where to meet Moscow girls in nightlife. There are tons of options, and it all depends on what best fits your style, based on the type of girls that you’re looking for.
