The key to the Exotics EXS 220 is shaving weight from places that do not enhance performance and moving it to spots that do. For example, the Exotics EXS 220’s crown and two panels in the sole are made using carbon fiber because the material is strong and extremely light. And the 8-1-1 titanium face is not only thin and flexible, it’s lighter than the faces in previous Tour Edge Exotics drivers.
As a result, designers were able to increase the head’s depth from face to back and add a 9-gram weight to the back of the sole. This increased the moment of inertia by 20 percent from the previous Exotics EXS driver. That means the club will twist less on off-center hits and help golfers hit straighter shots.
