Tour Edge has launched its new Exotics EX9 Tour fairway woods and hybrids, which join the recently launched EX9 and EX9 Tour drivers, and EX9 fairway woods and hybrids in the company’s EX9 line.

Compared to the EX9 fairway woods and hybrids, the EX9 Tour models have more compact club heads that are designed to launch the ball lower and with less spin.

Learn more about the newest offerings from Exotics below.

EX9 Tour fairway wood

The EX9 Tour fairway wood, much like the EX9 fairway woods, were developed with features Exotics calls “Full Speed Impact” — a system designed to create more speed and distance. It includes Exotics’ SlipStream sole, which has a wave-like design and a shorter length than its predecessors to reduce turf interaction for more speed. Also, a new Power Grid behind the club face was made to be deeper and narrower than previous versions to increase ball speeds across the face, and works in conjunction with 15-3-3-3 metastable beta titanium cup faces.

Housed in the sole is an interchangeable 9-gram weight. Weights of 6, 11 and 14 grams are available for golfers looking to dial in a specific swing weight.

The EX9 Tour fairway woods have 150cc club heads, smaller than the standard EX9 woods. They’re are available in lofts of 13, 15 and 17 degrees, have have eight-way adjustable hosels that allow golfers to tweak lie angle and loft in 0.5-degree increments.

If you’re a high-spin player who needs a more penetrating ball flight or wants a more compact head shape, the Tour version is what you’ll want to test. Suggested retail is $299, and the fairway woods come stock with Aldila Rogue Silver (60 and 70 grams), or Mitsubishi Rayon Diamana (S+, M+, and D+) shafts and a Black Lamkin Exotics UTx cord grip.

EX9 Tour hybrid

While the EX9 hybrids were designed for maximum distance and forgiveness, the EX9 Tour hybrids are designed to produce the flatter, more iron-like ball flight that many better players prefer from their hybrids. They also have smaller, pear-shaped heads that range in size from 111cc to 115cc.

The hybrids also have a new titanium face plate that’s brazed to their hyper-steel bodies, and the club faces are designed with “Variable Face Thickness,” increasing average ball speed across the face. Like the EX9 Tour fairway woods, they have a SlipStream sole for less friction at impact, and a Power Grid that’s deeper and narrower for higher ball speeds.

EX9 Tour hybrids are available in lofts of 16.5 (111cc), 18 (113cc) and 20 (115cc) and come stock with a UST Mamiya Recoil 780 ES shaft. Suggested retail is $199.

Both the EX9 Tour fairway woods and hybrids will be in stores Nov. 15.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report

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.
