Exotics to release CB Pro U Hybrid
In 2013, Tour Edge Exotics turned heads with its CB Pro fairway wood, which used a wave-like “Slip Stream” sole that looked completely different than other models. Two years later, the company has come out with a CB Pro U hybrid that offers similar same sole technology.
[quote_box_center]“After the success of the CB Pro fairway wood, I was asked countless times if I was going to put the waves on another club,” said David Glod, president and founder of Tour Edge Exotics. “Working with a more compact, hybrid club head took many hours in R&D to engineer, but I’m confident the U hybrid was worth the wait. It is already gaining traction on the PGA Tour and we are excited about what’s to come.”[/quote_box_center]
According to Exotics, the Slip Stream sole minimizes turf interaction, which helps golfers play shots from a wider variety of lies and can offer increased distance. Compared to the CB Pro fairway wood, the hybrid’s sole wave lengths have been reduced, and engineers designed new cavities on the heel and toe areas of the sole that promote even less turf interaction and greater playability from all lies, according to the company.
The CB Pro U was designed to be more workable than the company’s E8 hybrids, and has a 475 carpenter steel face that is combo brazed to a hyper steel body — a manufacturing process that helps eliminate weight from the face to improve performance. The hybrid comes stock with Mitsubishi Rayon’s Kuro Kage Silver hybrid shaft, and it is available in lofts of 17, 19 and 21 degrees (right-hand only).

This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.
Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.
Bud Cauley had >14 clubs in his bag when photographed prior to the Memorial Tournament.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”

Pro can hit what they want and what they get paid big dolla to play. They can game dog turds duct tape to stick. No one here half as good as pro, they should play this club cuz they can’t hit long iron. I quit golf once I cant hit miura blades.

Just to your statement that they get paid to play the hybrids, then why are they using different manufactures hybrids then their equipment sponsor? Just because the headcover says xyz company does not mean thats whats under them. Are the hybrids on Tour different then what most hackers have in their bags, most likely but you can still purchase pro models from your local shop or golf store that are engineered to help the better players (Tour).

Will you get a special brush to clean out the groves? Can imagine those are annoying to clean after each shot.

I have the CB PRO fairway and never have issues cleaning it. It surprisingly doesn’t get a lot of dirt caught in it. You are right it has to be cleaned but a towel usually just wipes it away for me!
