The Tour Edge Exotics C722 fairway wood carries on the tradition of TEE FWs with immense distance potential.  Low spin but fairly like shooting fish in a barrel to striking.  Adjustable hosel for fine tuning shot shape and trajectory.

Introduction

Throughout their 2022 line, Bout Border Exotics is giving players a choice: Eastward or C.  The Eastward family gives players maximum forgiveness while the C line is congenital to perform for lower handicap players.  For this review, I tested the C722 fairway wood to run into how it will fare for faster swingers and if information technology stands up to TEE's long history of excellent FWs.

Looks

The Bout Edge Exotics C722 fairway forest is a good looking, fairly traditional order.  Apparently the large carbon fiber plate in the crown is non quite what Hogan played, but the size and shape place it in the players category.  For me, the C722 hits a sweet spot where it's not too small simply besides not stretched or overly large.

Flipping the gild over, my eye was drawn to the 90 gram tungsten plate in the sole.  This is the dominant element visually, and it pushes the Bout Edge Exotics and C722 branding to the periphery.  The sole has a lot going on, but the pattern is cohesive.

The differences between the Tour Border Exotics E722 and C722 fairway woods are non as dramatic as betwixt the two hybrids, just there are meaningful distinctions.  First, the E722 (left) sits square to a hair airtight, the C722 is foursquare to slightly open up.  Information technology's a small difference, simply face angle is a big deal to many golfers.  Second, the C722 is shorter from forepart to dorsum which gives it a more rounded shape overall.  Finally, the confront of the C722 is nigh 1/viii″ taller than the E722 and it has more traditional score lines from heel to toe.  The E722 has score lines surrounding a diamond graphic in the middle of the face up.

Audio & Feel

The C722 fairway wood has an bear on audio that'south somewhere between the traditional "tink" and a modernistic, explosive sound.  It'southward staccato, mid/high pitch, and slightly hollow.  The C722 is slightly louder than the E722, but information technology's only average in volume overall.

Shots off the middle of the face up feel very quick, similar the brawl is in a hurry to go abroad.  As yous would expect from a players club, feeling impact location is quite like shooting fish in a barrel.  There'southward too a lot of audio feedback with mishits sounding off primal and weak compared to centered shots.

Operation

With its carbon crow, titanium head, and Diamond Face technology, the C722 fairway wood is built for distance, and that starts with excellent ball speed.  Centered shots produce driver-like smash factor numbers.  Thanks to the aforementioned face tech, you tin can find a lot of speed toward the heel and toe, too.  The C722 is not as forgiving as the E722, so players that don't visit the sweet spot as often might want to consider the larger TEE fairway woods.

The other components to distance are launch and spin.  Bout Edge Exotics dialed those in with a xc gram tungsten sole plate and their Ryzersole Engineering science.  The heart of gravity is pushed down so that shots launch fairly high with depression spin.  For me, the spin was very low and very consistent.  Fifty-fifty a thin, heel shot stayed well below 3,000 RPM.  Launch was definitely high for a players FW but still very controlled and piercing.

In comparing the C722 and E722 fairway woods on my Foresight GCQuad, my big takeaway is that the C722 has the higher ceiling for distance but likewise the lower floor.  My best shots with the C722 FW had tons of speed, flew on a cute trajectory, and rolled forever.  However, my worst swings produced adequately poor results.  The C722 is forgiving for a players FW, but it can't compete with the E722 which is built for consistency.

Some other thing that separates the C722 fairway forest from the E722 is the hosel adjustability.  You can add together or subtract equally much equally one.v degrees of loft, modify the confront bending, and change the lie angle across a iii caste range.  This gives the golfer tremendous ability to alter their shot shape, trajectory, and optimize their distance.  The stock face angle fit my eye perfectly – simply a bear upon open up – but anyone from a slicer to a hooker can find something highly-seasoned here.

The Tour Border Exotics C722 fairway wood comes with a huge array of shaft choices at no up accuse.  For players seeking something ultra-light, there's the Fujikura Air Speeder at nether 50 grams.  Fujikura also offers the Ventus Red and Ventus Blue.  Mitsubishi has a trio of TENSEI shafts – Orange, Bluish, and White – in the 65 and 75 gram weight classes.  Tour Edge Exotics offers their Speed Tested recommendations to help players pick a shaft if they tin can't go for an in-person fitting.

Conclusion

For skilled ball strikers and faster swingers, the Bout Border Exotics C722 fairway wood is an exhilarating distance auto.  With tons of speed and low spin, y'all may not need a driver anymore.  For those that demand more forgiveness in their long game, opt for the E722 FW.
