Could this be the underdog story of 2026? Find out why in our full Tour Edge Exotics LS Driver review.
Who are Tour Edge? I hear you ask. Well, to put it plainly they are a brand that you ought to want to get to know. They are far from a new kid on the block, but their latest driver range is creating some chatter, especially with Bernhard Langer putting this exact driver in his bag. Check out our full Tour Edge Exotics LS driver review here…
This is the Tour Edge driver you are likely to see in the bags of tour players around the world. Indeed that is already the case with major winners of yesterday, already putting it in play. It wasn’t hard for me to see why.
The club sits beautifully behind the ball, with an appealing profile. Despite its low spin profile the club still pulls its weight in terms of forgiveness across the club face. This could well be a driver that bursts onto the scene in 2026, Micah Richards style.
Compared to the Tour Edge Exotics Max Driver, the LS model noticeably has a slightly deeper face and a smaller profile. This is of course to appeal more to the better player and lower handicappers.
For me this is an extremely inviting driver when sat behind the ball at address. It suits my eye down to a tee. It doesn’t look overly forgiving or bloated which I prefer from my driver. It does look especially similar to a Callaway Triple Diamond. Being a little open at address and the overall size of it reminds me of the Callaway TD driver.
However, I do have some slight reservations about the face of the golf club. I think there is a little bit too much going on for me. On these more ‘tour designed’ drivers, I think it would be more appropriate to follow a less is more approach. The groove designing doesn’t need to be anything special, visually, simplicity is fine here. This club face just looks too busy for me, with all the lines along the face.
On-course performance
As the name would suggest, the spin rate certainly dropped down for me from the more forgiving model. This is definitely more optimal for distance and my swing in general. The carry yardages were just about acceptable, although I would have ideally been looking to squeeze a bit more distance out of it. Was a little away from my optimal.

In the past when I have mishit a low spin driver, the spin drops off and the performance is awful. Whereas whenever I mishit the ball using this driver the spin actually increases meaning the ball stays in the air which is a huge advantage to giving it more playability. What all golfers should be looking for is a driver that aides them in finding the fairway without having to fight it.
Most of us club golfers, can’t guarantee we’ll find the centre of the face with each swing of the club. So, having plenty of forgiveness across the whole of the club face is extremely helpful and useful. The club does a lot of the heavy lifting for you.
Instead of featuring sliding adjustable weights that can be manoeuvred along the back of the club head, which is the case in the Max driver, the LS model utilises two set weights. One sits at the front of the club head, whilst the other is pushed more towards the club face. These can be tweaked to help optimise a golfers spin and launch. Fairly standard inclusions in a low spin driver.
NCG Verdict
This might just be my underdog story for 2026. The price point and the performance are both fairly faultless. Although the performance isn’t as optimal as some low spin drivers on the market, I think the gap in price when compared to the better known brands is significant yet the performance drop is tiny.
I’m struggling to think of any features Tour Edge hasn’t included in this driver that you get elsewhere. For a brand that isn’t particularly well known here in the United Kingdom, this could be a real eye opener for a lot of golfers. It is certainly the real deal.
