Tour Edge Golf kicked off the annual PGA Merchandise Show with a Media Demo Day at the posh Lake Nona Golf and Country Club. For 31 years, CEO David Glod and team have developed equipment for golfers to improve their game performance and enjoyment. This year’s EX-10 line includes an adjustable driver equipped with the all-new 8-1-1 titanium chassis and a Japanese TSP Beta thinner face that allows mere mortal golfers to obtain maximum distance with incredible swing forgiveness. The EX 10 fairway woods made the Hot List for 2017. All clubs are 100% assembled in the US with a 48-hour turnaround for any custom club in the Hot Launch 2 line. Tour Edge Golf is synonymous with innovative technology. www.touredge.com
