The Tour Edge Exotics XCG-4 Driver is lightweight in either of the two models available, but really lightweight in the lightest model: only 276 grams total. The two models are:
  • Ultra-light edition: 310-gram total clubweight; Fujikura Motore shaft (55 grams); Golf Pride New Decade grip
  • Super-ultra-light edition: 276-gram total clubweight; Graphite Design Tour Ad shaft (45 grams); WinnLite grip (26 grams)
The ultra-light shaft is 45.5 inches long, the super-ultra-light model has a shaft length of 46 inches.

Both models have the same aerodynamic clubhead designs and weighting properties. The drivers have a titanium face and sole, carbon crown, two carbon sole inserts, and two tungsten sole weights. All the carbon saves weight; the tungsten repositions some of it near the rear sole to lower the center of gravity.

Tour Edge says these drivers have a 15-percent higher MOI than previous models, and the company says the characteric time (a measure of the ball's rebound off the face) has been upped, as well, compared to the XCG-3 driver models.

The Tour Edge Exotics XCG-4 Driver carries an MSRP of $329. exoticsgolf.com
