Tour Edge may not carry the same name recognition in the UK as it does stateside, but the brand has long maintained a reputation in the American market for delivering cutting-edge technology at accessible prices. Though Tour Edge drivers have not made a major breakthrough on the main PGA Tour it is proving very popular on the Champions Tour – with brand ambassadors such as Bernhard Langer, Scott McCarron and Alex Cejka.
The E725, part of their premium Exotics range, is a shining example of the Tour Edge ethos – quality and fantastic prices. Here’s how we found it…
Tour Edge Exotics E725 driver review: NCG Summary
NCG SUMMARY
Tour Edge has produced a driver that feels far more expensive than it is. The Exotics E725 is an exceptional offering for golfers who prioritise forgiveness, consistency, and customisability. While it may not be the longest driver on the market, it earns top marks for its ease of use and playability.
It’s a fantastic option for seniors and mid-to-high handicappers who want dependable performance off the tee without spending a fortune. Whether you’re looking to gain confidence with the driver or just want to keep it in play more often, the E725 is an option that simply makes sense.
PROS
- Outstanding levels of forgiveness
- Surprisingly consistent carry distances
- Excellent value
CONS
- Not the longest driver on the market
First Impressions
At first glance, the E725 gives off a surprisingly premium vibe. I found it sets up confidently behind the ball, with a sleek crown design featuring what appears to be a carbon-look finish making it look sharp and modern. The shape is traditionally appealing, not overly stretched or aggressively contoured, which will suit a wide range of tastes.
In my opinion, the clean lines and balanced design make it feel more tour-proven than budget-friendly. Simply put, it looks like it belongs in the same conversation as much more expensive driver options out there.
NCG Review
What I think makes the E725 truly stand out is its exceptional forgiveness. Built to the 10,000 MOI limit, this driver is designed for consistency, from strikes across the face. In a golfing landscape where most big brands have maxed out centre-face ball speeds, Tour Edge is following the trend of optimising performance on off-centre hits. I must say; they’ve nailed it.

High MOI means more stability through impact, reducing twisting and mishits. This certainly helped me as my numbers were astonishingly consistent. My carry distances that clustered around the 253-yard mark regardless of strike location. That level of forgiveness is a dream for golfers who higher handicap golfers.
My spin rates averaged around 2800 rpm, peaking at 3300. This is a little higher than my average, allowing for better control. This isn’t the lowest-spinning or longest driver out there, but it’s among the easiest to hit. For many golfers, especially those focused on fairway-finding rather than maximum yardage, that’s a winning trade-off.
There was no sense of instability, no hand-rattling mishits. I found the driver delivered smooth, stable feedback across the face, with strikes high, low, heel, and toe still launching predictably.
In terms of tech, the Ridgeback 360 technology acts as a stabilizing brace, stiffening the structure for increased ball speed. Variable face thickness helps maintain that speed across more of the hitting area. And the 22% increase in real carbon fibre gives it some premium appeal.
An adjustable rear weight allows players to tweak the draw bias, altering shot dispersion by up to seven yards. It’s a smart touch, especially for a brand that doesn’t offer multiple head shapes like TaylorMade or Callaway.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the Tour Edge Exotics E725 might not win any long-drive contests, but it might just win over the hearts of not just senior golfers, but a wide range of amateur golfers. The consistency and forgiveness are hugely impressive, especially considering the lack of an eye-watering price tag. It’s also one of the easiest drivers to hit I have tested this year, and at the more than reasonable price, it offers remarkable value.
