Summer Ready
YOUR GAME MAY NOT BE IN MID-SEASON
form quite yet, but golf manufacturers are. And that means
your choices for new gear are heating up. Whether you’re in
the market for a putter, hybrid, balls, bag or outerwear, there’s
something fresh worth checking out.

TOUR EDGE
Exotics EX10 hybrid
Tour Edge’s Exotics EX10 hybrid strives for forgiveness
and effortless hit-ability. The moment you line it up
behind a ball, you realize it looks mighty. It’s a classic-
shaped hybrid that packs a thin, high-density steel cup
face, which propels shots—even your mishits—long
and straight. A deep center of gravity helps get the ball
airborne with ease, and a newly modified version of the
channeled SlipStream sole helps ease interaction with
the ground. ($180, touredge.com)

From the latest brand within
Callaway Golf’s family, Toulon
Design’s square-shaped
Indianapolis high-MOI mallet
sports a unique deep-diamond
milled face pattern that improves
the first few feet of a putt for a
truer roll. It’s softer than most
millings and is designed to
dissipate impact sound, “much
like a tire’s tread pattern,” says
the brand’s namesake Sean
Toulon, who is a car-racing
enthusiast. Indiana native Patrick
Rodgers is playing it on Tour.
