The Tour Edge Exotics E725 fairway wood is the more forgiving model of the company’s latest offerings. Excellent looks, sound, and feel.
Introduction
Tour Edge is a perennial underdog and generally speaking, I like an underdog. However, they have to reward my faith in order to keep me as a fan. Historically, Tour Edge has done that. In this review, I’ll take a look the Tour Edge Exotics E725 fairway wood, the more forgiving of the company’s two new fairway woods released for 2025. I was very impressed by the C725 (review HERE). Keep reading to find out how the E model stacks up.
Looks
Despite impressing me with their performance, Tour Edge clubs haven’t always been the most attractive, to my eye. The Tour Edge Exotics E725 fairway wood is a definite exception. With a combination of matte gray carbon fiber crown and a darker frame, it recalls several recent models from big OEMs, yet retains enough of its own style to look unique.
The shaping of the clubhead is built for forgiveness. It is wider and more stretched back, with a shorter face compared to the C725. Another key difference is the lack of adjustability. The E725 fairway wood has a bonded hosel and a single 10g weight at the back of the clubhead to help with MOI. Weights in different measures are available to purchase for golfers looking to fine-tune their swing weight.
Sound & Feel
The sound of the Tour Edge Exotics E725 fairway wood is moderate in pitch and volume. To my ear, it strikes a great balance of a lower pitched ‘thud’ and a higher-pitched ‘tink’. It sounds powerful, with the caveat that the sound naturally diminishes in volume and quality the further you stray from the face.
The feel is wonderfully solid. Center strikes have that unique feeling of effortless power, the ball exploding off the clubface with only the slightest sensation through the hands. From a sensory point of view, the E725 fairway wood is well-tuned.
Performance
The Tour Edge Exotics E725 fairway wood gets the ball flying long and straight. Everything from the stock shaft options to the high MOI to the combination of RyzerSole and Power Channel are designed to get the ball in the air quickly and keep it there for as long as your swing can accommodate.
This club is so forgiving that there were multiple instances of what I’m calling “oh-oh” during my testing. The first “oh” is the sound I make right away when I feel that I’ve missed the sweet spot by some margin. The second “oh” is one of pleasant surprise when I see that the ball is carrying shockingly long and straight given where it’s been struck. The Tour Edge Exotics E725 fairway wood certainly isn’t the only modern club to provide this experience, but it’s always exciting to find.
This club features Tour Edge’s 3D Diamond Face, which is essentially a bunch of small sweet spots fanning out from the center. I assume this is part of what’s taking effect during these moments.
It’s hard not to compare the E725 to its sibling, the C725 because I reviewed them at the same time. For whatever reason, I got along better with the less forgiving club, just getting a bit more out of it in terms of consistency and distance. My fitter Adam and I weren’t sure why, but we speculated that my preference for the look of the smaller clubhead allowed me to deliver it with a better attack angle. It’s a reminder that clubs can only perform with what we give them and finding clubs that work with our unique swings is an important part of the process.
Another difference for players to consider is the fact that the E725 is available in higher lofts than the C725, including 21°. Raise your hand if you’re thinking about bagging a 7 wood this year!
Conclusion
The Tour Edge Exotics E725 fairway wood is another winner from Tour Edge. From an aesthetic and performance point of view, this club does everything it needs to do to place itself comfortably among its contemporaries from bigger OEMs. If you’re in the market for a forgiving fairway wood for 2025, this one should be on your list to try.

Pretty good review. However, ‘consistency’ is dancing with the issue. Your (P-I-G’s) reviews should speak to dispersion, that is accuracy, of the clubs you choose to review. It is a key trade off, and should be a reviewed element. Perhaps challenging, there are easy ways to say it can’t be done, but it is a key offset to other club attributes. Consumers will buy comparative accuracy or improved dispersion. Keep up the good work.
How is consistency “dancing with the issue”? Consistency is the #1 thing all golfers want. In a club context, it combines predictable distance and dispersion.
Also, we have an accuracy number on the launch monitor graphic, so I’m not sure what else you’re looking for.
