TOUR EDGE Exotics EXS Pro Driver Tour Edge’s Exotics EXS Pro driver is part of the brand’s new limited edition “Straight From The Tour Van” tour-inspired metalwood series. “This line is designed to bring the level up with the more traditional player with a faster swing speed who’s looking for anti-left clubs with extremely low spin and penetrating ball flights,” says Dave Glod, Tour Edge’s President and Master Club Designer. “One of the biggest takeaways we’ve seen in our testing is that the sound and feel of the driver is pretty magical. Skilled players are looking for the latest and greatest in adjustability for self-custom fitting and we’ve taken that to new levels.” $400, touredge.com CALLAWAY JAWS MD5 Raw Wedge Crafted by master wedge designer Roger Cleveland, Callaway’s JAWS MD5 Raw wedge promises “significantly more” spin and control because the sharp-edged grooves have walls, edges and angles that are milled with exact precision into the clubface. That brings sharpness to a new threshold, which particularly aims to help max out spin on shots from 80 yards and in for all skill levels—generating the “one hop and stop” type of trajectory you see Tour pros typically execute. This wedge is offered in a pair of new sole grinds. The T—for 58- and 60-degree lofts—is becoming a popular choice on Tour. The X Grind—for 54- and 56-degree lofts—is a higher bounce option that promotes better shot-making. $170, callawaygolf.com HONMA TR20V Irons With sleek lines and shaping, the clean and upscale look alone makes Honma’s TR20V irons worth considering. That said, the real beauty lies within. “The combination of hand-crafted looks with tour-level performance, modern construction and expert design provides a blend of looks, sound and feel that golfers will love,” says Chris McGinley, Vice President of Global Product for Honma USA. It’s a true player’s iron that’s designed to play long. A traditional one-piece cavity back, it’s forged from soft carbon steel and helps launch shots quickly and high, but with control. $1,225/set, us.honmagolf.com vsga.org J ULY/A UGUST 2020 | V IRGINIA G OLFER 39
