Tour Edge Exotics Drivers: LS vs Max vs Lite

Three heads, three swing speeds, and a straightforward way to pick.

Exotics LS

A 440cc head with a taller face, built to spin less. Two adjustable sole weights at 15g and 5g let you shift the balance forward for less spin or back for more stability.

This is the head for a fast player who launches the ball high with too much spin. The smaller footprint gives more face control and, inevitably, less forgiveness. If your speed is moderate, it will cost you height and carry.

Exotics Max

A 460cc head with an 18g sliding sole weight and a stated MOI above 10,000. Forgiveness is the entire design brief.

For the great majority of golfers, this is the correct choice. Off-centre strikes twist the face less and lose less speed, which improves your average drive even though it does nothing for your best one. Average drives are what decide rounds.

Exotics Lite

The ultra-lightweight option. Lighter head, shaft and grip, plus offset to help the face square up. Built for slower and moderate swing speeds and for golfers whose miss leaks right.

Do not read “lite” as “beginner”. For a golfer who cannot load a standard-weight driver, a lighter build produces more speed and better contact, which is exactly what produces distance.

What they share

An all-carbon sole and crown with a 360° titanium Ridgeback frame, plus Pyramid Face technology. The construction is the same across the three; the shaping and weighting are what differ.

Confirm the choice with numbers, not feel

Spin is the variable that separates these three heads, and it is the one thing you cannot feel. FocusGolf picks up each swing automatically from a Wear OS, Apple Watch or Garmin watch with nothing attached to the club, tracking swing speed, tempo and distance and storing every session. Keep a few weeks of data with your current driver before testing, and you will know whether you genuinely have the speed for the LS or whether the Lite is the honest answer.

The weight settings

Move one weight at a time and hit at least ten balls before judging. Forward weighting reduces spin and forgiveness; rearward weighting raises launch and stability.

Fitting tip: Try one loft setting higher than instinct suggests. A large share of golfers gain both distance and accuracy from it, and almost nobody tries it unprompted.
