You’ve seen the ads— “Are you an E or a C.” Tour Edge’s idea is to create clubs of similar design but with features targeted for particular player skill levels.
The E723 has a larger head with the center of gravity located near the sole at the rear for higher launch and more resistance to twisting. The measured MOI is at 5600 g/cm2 and they tell us that’s the highest any driver they have ever made. The sliding 20g rear weight produces a significant left-to-right or fade bias when towards the toe and right-to-left or draw bias when towards the heel. Tour Edge says their testing showed +/- 10 yards. The E723, which most recreational players will opt for, has 5% more carbon fiber in the head than the previous E722.
In contrast the C723 has 445cc head with a deeper face and it is designed for high swing speed players. The weighting is a combination a sliding rear similar to the E723 but a standard 15g rather than 20g, and a 5g front sole weight to help with lowering spin. MOI though not as high as the E model is still 4900 g/cm2 to 5200 g/cm2 depending on configuration for +/- 7-yard adjustment in flight bias.
For both drivers there are nine different weights that are interchangeable from 5 to 21 grams for fitting customization.
