Tour Edge Exotics XCG-V Driver Review
Overview/Technology-
The Exotics XCG-V is a very unique driver in that it uses a mixture of materials that include a lightweight magnesium crown, a larger sweet spot than last year's model. In addition, the driver touts lightweight titanium cupface, sidewalls and sole. A V-shape stainless steel rear sole plate provides optimal CG force, much deeper than it's model predecessor.
The materials used in the XCG-V are actually joined by a chemical brazing technique unique and patented by Tour Edge.
This driver is a low launch with low to mid spin rate making this one not for the faint of heart. Although geared for a wide range of players, the driver probably fits into the better player's bag more comfortably than a beginner or recreational player. Golfers needing a high launch driver should look elsewhere or at a different model Exotics (review to come, stay tuned!).

Actual Player Feedback-
"the XCG-V is a very impressive club"
Pros/Positives-
Great low CG driver built for the serious golfer looking for a low piercing flight. Comes with an option of either the Graphite Design Tour Ad or Aldila Voodoo shaft, a definite plus.
Cons/Negatives-
Low launch for piercing drives may not be for everyone however. If you need a higher launch, you may want to check out other Tour Edge models (again stay tuned).
Overall Rating-
The Tour Edge Exotics XCG-V is a great driver that happens to look pretty cool too. Produces low piercing drives with a low to moderate spin rate. Great shaft option considering the VooDoo is one of the top rated shafts for 2009'. Definitely a driver to look at this year.
