RIDGEBACK TECHNOLOGY
What is it?
Ridgeback is a power producer. TE engineers created a titanium spine running from the center of the face through the crown and wrapping around the head to connect with the titanium sole plate.
What does it do?
This titanium spine within the carbon crown acts as a brace to produce more power on center hits. Bracing the center of the face also allows design of greater face flex in the heel and toe areas meaning off-center hits achieve greater power.
Ridgeback also creates superior feel at impact. The extra rigidity created by the brace through the crown produces a much stronger feel at impact when compared to a full carbon crown and results in a crisper and brighter feel at impact.
DUAL CARBON WINGS
What are they?
TE engineers replaced steel from the crown and sole by creating wrap-around Carbon Wings.
What do they do?
The use of Dual Carbon wings saves considerable weight.
This weight savings is then moved to the ideal location to help with creating the optimal CG location. The C721 fairway metal has a low-rearward CG position that produces an extremely high M.O.I. to increase stability at impact.
This is by far the most Carbon Fiber to be featured on the crown of an Exotics fairway metal.
DIAMOND FACE 2.0
What is it?
Diamond Face 2.0 is made up of diamond shapes of variable face thickness behind the face.
There are 61 total diamond shapes featured on Diamond Face 2.0, comprising five different thicknesses in an interweaving pattern. This compares to the three different thicknesses used on the initial Diamond Face design.
Face thickness of Diamond Face 2.0 at the extreme perimeters of the face is also reduced by 20%.
What does it do?
The mini trampolines that make-up Diamond Face 2.0 create faster ball speeds and an expanded sweet spot.
The increase in Diamond Face 2.0 coverage to the extreme heel and toe dramatically increases ball speed and forgiveness on off-center hits.
HYPER-STEEL CUP FACE
What is it?
The 12th iteration of Exotics pioneering cup face in the C721 fairway is our most advanced and utilizes a new, stronger proprietary Hyper-Steel material.
What does it do?
Ball speed, ball speed and even more ball speed. Working in tandem with Diamond Face 2.0, this is the fastest Exotics fairway yet.
The shaft make-up in the 721 Series is unique to the industry. We tested an extensive range of market-leading shafts with our Tour Edge Development robot to find the the best-performing custom shafts for every swing speed.
