PROS
CONS
The Tour Edge Exotics Max driver is the 10k driver head offering. Even just from picking the club up I was extremely excited about the spec, the driver came in my ideal shaft and grip.
My overall first impressions of the driver were very positive. It features a carbon crown, which has been a go-to for a lot of golf club manufacturers with their drivers and metal woods over recent years. Carbon also features heavily on the sole of the club as well as an adjustable weight at the back of the club.
I have to say, I think it’s a pretty good looking driver from what is suppose to be an extremely forgiving club. At address the club sits fairly square behind the ball and looks very inviting to hit which is a massive positive for me.
One thing I noticed straight away is how you can definitely feel the carbon in the head of the driver as you strike through the ball. There is a noticeable difference from a titanium club head as it does feel slightly dampened off the club face.
I’m going to pretend that my mishits during my testing of the club was to show you how forgiving the club really is across the face – and not in any way down to my inconsistent ball striking on the day! So you can take it from me that this is a very forgiving driver, which is ultimately what most club golfers should prioritise in my opinion.

It’s not a fast driver by any stretch of the imagination. I have had quicker ball speeds from other drivers this year, but in terms of being able to get the ball into play this is right up there with the best options on the market.
I was happy with the spin rates coming off the face. There were no toe hooks or unflattering heel strikes. The launch was acceptable, the ball flight was decent, but it just wasn’t as fast out of the middle of the face that I personally ideally want from my driver.
Some work that tour Edge has done to the face of the driver includes the introduction of small pyramids on the back of the face. The brand says this is designed to make the face hotter across the whole of it to provide more explosive speed. Variable thickness is also featured to help toe and heel strikes perform as well as on off the centre.
Additionally technology Tour Edge has equipped this with, includes a 360 ridgeback frame. This strengthens the driver and stiffens everything up so as to maximise the energy transfer from the face of the club to the golf ball.
Overall, I was impressed with the Tour Edge Exotics Max driver. The fact that it features a carbon crown and sole, adjustable weights and a 10k club head for less than £400 is unbelievably good value for a driver.
Although it doesn’t quite have the juice or speed for the better players to utilise, most club golfers should be all over this. It’s a great driver for those looking to put the ball into play more consistently off the tee and is extremely easy to launch.
