Get More Distance & Hit More Fairways

from Northeast Golf February/March 2023

If the Shoe Fits

BY GREG SAMPSON

You know what they say “Drive for Show.” Here are some of my favorite 2023 equipment lines that will help you launch the ball longer off the tee, straighter down the fairway, and reach more par fives in two!

TOUR EDGE EXOTICS 723 SERIES

Driver C $500 & E $450 | Fairway C $330 & E $280 www.touredge.com

Following the path of the previous Exotics, the tour-winning 722 Series, the Exotics 723 launch features two separate drivers and fairway designs designated as Extreme (E) and Competition (C) spec. The new E723 metals are MOI+ designs built for maximum forgiveness, while the new C723 designs are all about harnessing power and dialing in low spinning distance.

The Exotics 723 E and C drivers feature all-new design and technology called the Flight Tuning System or F.T.S. which was developed to provide Tour Edge’s largest fitting matrix ever produced.

One of the top design goals for the Tour Edge R&D team was to provide one of the most adjustable drivers currently available in the marketplace with the player centric C723 Driver, the Flight Tuning System technology and all its available weight options total 4,860 different fitting configurations for the clubhead. This is due to the ability to swap different weights both on the back sliding track new to the 723 Series, and by having both front and back weights that are interchangeable. This unprecedented level of adjustability allows the golfer or custom fitter to dial in flight direction and desired level of MOI and spin.

SRIXON

ZX MK II Woods

| Driver: $500 | Fairway $280

The all new ZX Mk II Woods deliver tour-level performance and revolutionary energy transfer to the tee box, to make your power go farther. These woods provide more power where it counts – at impact. A stronger Rebound Frame design with dual flex zones delivers a seamless energy transfer from the clubface through the golf ball. Rebound Frame’s two flex zones work harmoniously to generate enhanced ball speed and distance. Overall, Rebound Frame adds a 10% larger High COR area to the Driver faces compared to the previous generation. Meanwhile the ZX5 Mk II Driver provides total confidence, with a larger footprint, flattened shape, and a rear weight placed low and deep for drives that launch high and straight. New to this generation, the driver features a forward-placed, adjustable 8g weight that keeps spin low for players seeking to maximize distance above all else. The ZX Mk II Fairway Woods and Hybrids feature similar foundational technologies as the drivers that seek to deliver more ball speed and greater distance from anywhere on the course. The entire line of ZX Mk II Woods offers world-class shafts as standard options with Project X HZRDUS Black Gen 4 and Project X HZRDUS Smoke Red RDX shafts.

COBRA GOLF

Aerojet | Driver $550 | Fairway $330 www.cobragolf.com

Seamlessly aerodynamic, boldly designed. The new Cobra Aerojet linup enables new levels of speed that were not believed to be possible until now.

The drivers are also available in the Rickie Fowler inspired Tour Length that has a shorter shaft for more accuracy.

WILSON

DynaPwr Series | Driver: Carbon $500 Titanium $430 | Fairway $250 www.wilsongolf.com

The new drivers are available in two high performance options, Carbon or Titanium, each offering thousands of custom fit settings that allow you to dial in your best performance. The Carbon is a low spinning head design that is neutral biais with a mid-launch ball flight and amazing workability. The Titanium features a High MOI head design with a neutral to draw biais, mid to high launch ball flight. The New Dynapower™ fairway woods feature rear weighting and variable face thickness to deliver the fastest ball speeds over the entire face for high, soaring ball flight.
