You have to make sure the blend is just right to optimize feel and sound, and durable enough to withstand the wear and tear of hitting golf balls. And it’s not as simple as injecting just any foam or resin into the head. Without a foam/resin material to dampen these hollow heads, the clubs would sound super empty and more like a metalwood than an iron. VIBRCOR also plays a huge role in the sound of the Tour Edge Exotics C721 irons. ![]() While I won’t sit here and tell you it feels like a forged muscle back, it feels like a solid head that will give you what you need to hit everything from a high draw to a soft butter cut from some hard pan under an old tree. I’m telling you, this face has great feedback for this style of iron and is generous over much more of the hitting surface. Put the Diamond Face together with the VIBRCOR and you get an extremely lively, powerful, and clean feeling iron with plenty of face response. There are 92 diamond shapes of three different thicknesses behind the face to make it more forgiving with a bigger sweet spot and higher ball speeds. To date, Tour Edge has only utilized this technology in metalwoods (to great success, I might add), but this the first we’ve seen it in irons. Without this material the head would feel extremely metallic and empty due to the hollow body.Īlso contributing to the C721 irons’ feel is another first – Diamond Face 2.0 technology. Tour Edge placed their “VIBRCOR” TPU material into two different places of the hollow head so the feel is cleaner and more “pure”. While companies have had success utilizing “materials injected into hollow irons” for a bit now, the C721 is Tour Edge’s first. Like I said before, the Tour Edge Exotics C721 irons really are a first for the brand. While a very contemporary look, the aesthetic is tasteful and dare I say it…somewhat elegant. Rather than make the “shiny parts” polished chrome, they have a more matte finish to reduce glare and wear better over time. From that perspective, the C721 irons are a really good looking “PDI” iron. If you’re a tenured player’s distance iron golfer, you know this what you should expect. I’d put the topline on the medium side, but it has a nice roll to it so it doesn’t come off as bulky. Right between the player’s and GI categories in my opinion. You’re not going to mistake them for the EXS Pro blades, but the head length and offset is moderate. That’s exactly how I’d describe Tour Edge’s C721 irons. That said, I want a more compact head length from heel to toe, a nice shape, minimal offset, and nothing more than a medium topline. In my opinion, it’s hard to really accomplish both of those things and recreate a “blade” look by any means. In theory, the irons are supposed to have a lot of game improvement (GI) features, but with the look and feel of a player’s iron. ![]() “Player’s distance irons” is always a bit of a weird category for me. By introducing Diamond Face 2.0 and the new VIBRCOR technology to their irons, Tour Edge has truly taken another big leap in their modern club designs. (He finished T-2 after an unfortunate water ball.) The innovative C721 (“C” stands for “competitive”) irons are a first of its kind from Tour Edge and designed to be a player’s distance iron with more traditional looks and great feel. These irons recently popped up all over the place after golf-legend John Daly put a full set of the new Tour Edge Exotics C721 irons in his bag the week of the 2021 Insperity Invitational on the Champions Tour. ![]()
