Tour Edge Debuts Exotics 725 Drivers, including the 10K MOI E725 Driver

With “speed” more or less maximized on modern drivers, thanks to restrictions imposed by the USGA and R&A, the OEMs have made forgiveness their design priority. The contest has gone from who can be fast to who can be fastest (and longest) on off-center strikes.

Tour Edge is looking to lead that conversation, with the release of their new Exotics 725 Drivers, the most forgiving family of drivers the company has produced with the 10K MOI E725 and C725 low-spin design.

MOI Brief History

The higher the MOI, the greater the resistance to twisting on off-center hits. When the club twists, energy is lost and therefore, reducing twisting helps with both accuracy and ball speed retention on off-center hits.

In 2006, with the advent of square drivers, the USGA implemented an MOI limit of 5,900 g-cm2. The 5,900 g-cm2 only applies to the MOIy, which defines heel-toe forgiveness. The ‘new’ measurement includes the MOIx, which defines up-down forgiveness.

That leads to the formula of MOIY + MOIX = MOI10K, or HEEL-TOE FORGIVENESS + UP-DOWN FORGIVENESS = RESISTANCE TO TWISTING AND FULL-FACE FORGIVENESS.

Tour Edge’s Exotics 725 Drivers

The E725 driver boasts a combined total MOI greater than the 10,000 g-cm² (10K) threshold, the result of strategic placement of mass in the clubhead, and the effects of the 360° Ridgeback technology utilized in the design.

The C725 driver places an emphasis on flight-tuned performance and player-preferred shaping, while still boasting an extremely high MOI rating of just under 1,000 g-cm² under the 10K mark.

Tour Edge founder, CEO and chief designer David Glod said:

“We’re getting into the 10K inertia market with a true performer in the E725 driver. You can’t place a value on a clubhead that provides extremely straight drives from anywhere on the face as it simply and efficiently creates lower scores for every golfer. Both the E and C heads are astoundingly forgiving.”

“Forgiveness has been something we’ve been excelling at in Exotics, at the very top of our industry, but this is an entirely new level. With 725, we are offering two specs that fit exactly what a certain player type is seeking for their performance off the tee. It is definitively game-changing how the 725 drivers perform.”

The all-new designs from the Tour Edge engineers include a revamped Flight Tuning System with fixed weight ports for greater ease of use, 3D Diamond Face advancements with three-dimensional diamond shapes behind the face for greater ball speeds, plus 360° Ridgeback Technology for superior forgiveness and feel.

More carbon fiber is utilized in the 725 designs and has replaced the Ridgeback spine for a brand-new look with sleek designs that offer Tour Edge’s cleanest looking Exotics to date.

For the first time ever, the 725 Series was introduced to the PGA TOUR as prototypes to help the design team get as much feedback as possible for the final 725 designs.

The prototypes were introduced to the PGA TOUR Champions in early 2024 and took off with extremely fast player adoption, becoming the company’s most played drivers on the 2024 Tour, accounting for over 60% of their drivers in play.

Glod added:

“It was invaluable for us to get prototypes of the 725 to the tour almost a full year ahead of the launch. We were able to listen to the players feedback in real-time along with the creation of the final designs. The Champions tour is the perfect proving ground to evaluate this new innovation and make certain that we have everything perfect in the designs for the end consumer.”

“The players have loved the protos, including many non-endorsed players,” said Glod. “To be able to go out and prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt before launch has been incredible for us as we celebrate 20 years of Exotics in 2025 with this launch.”
