July 12, 2022 – Tour Edge is announces the launch of their new Exotics Wingman 700 Series Putters
featuring three new modern mini-mallet designs and six total hosel options.
The brand-new shapes offer cascading MOI (Moment of Inertia) properties matching the
size of the Wingman putter head, providing maximum stability and optimal roll for every
player type.
The three innovative designs provide optimized alignment optics on the wildly effective
Lock-On technology alignment system, improved acoustics, and a softer feel.
Interchangeable sole weights on the heel and toe are featured in every model.
“The original Wingman putters enjoyed a cult-like success, and over the past two years,
we’ve been improving upon that success in every way possible,” said Tour Edge President
and chief designer David Glod. “The feedback we received was that the Lock-On Alignment
and the extreme stability of the putters were truly revolutionary for golfers. We put our
focus on expanding the series to fit more player preferences in the shaping and to really
upgrade the look, sound and feel of the putters in a big way.”
“The result of our two-year revamp is six new putter models that represent some of the
highest MOI putters on the market, and that are absolutely going to help you reduce the
number of putts you are taking in a round,” added Glod.
The Wingman 700 Series putters will be available for purchase worldwide on August 1 and
will carry a retail price of $199.99.
Models 701 and 702 – SUPER MAX MOI
The 701 (Mid Toe-Hang) and 702 (Face Balance) models produce extreme MOI. in a modern
mallet design that forces the face square to the swing path for a truer roll due to the
extreme perimeter weighted wings featured on the Wingman 701 and 702 designs.
This larger footprint provides an extremely high resistance to twisting with one of the
highest MOI ratings of any putter available on the market.
Models 703 and 704 – MAX MOI
The 703 (Mid Toe-Hang) and 704 (Face Balance) models remove the perimeter wings
featured on the Super Max MOI models and move the interchangeable weights more face
forward. This provides a gradual step down in MOI for those wanting a more compact,
smaller footprint while still providing massive MOI properties.
With the weights directly behind the face, this design creates more face control.
MODELS 705 and 706 – HIGH MOI/MINI-MALLET
The 705 (Mid Toe-Hang) and 706 (Center Shaft) provides the playability of a blade putter
with the stability of a mallet. The Wings on the 705 and 706 have been shortened, as has
the Lock-On Alignment, providing perfect balance of player shaping, alignment and compact
footprint.
The interchangeable weights are also more face forward to add even more directional
control and accuracy.
All three shapes share these same technology features:
Lock-On Alignment Technology is a one-of-a-kind contrast alignment technology that
allows you to discern with your eye at address if the lie angle of the putter is
matched correctly to the target. The 20% larger alignment line surface area in the
700 Series frames the ball better at address to effectively lock more putts.
A Hollow Carbon Sole Plate with a larger surface area in the new Wingman
redistributes weight to the sides and back of the clubhead to help boost MOI. With
more carbon utilized in these designs, 34% of the stainless steel has been removed
to create even more perimeter weighting and stability.
Interchangeable Weights on the sole of all three designs offer the option of adding or
subtracting more overall weight to the heel and toe of the clubhead to obtain
preferred feel. Weights come in 3, 8 and 15 grams, with the 3-gram weight being the
standard option.
The 8-gram and 15-gram weights will be available individually and a separate weight
kit will include two 8-gram weights and two 15-gram weights to give golfers the
option of adding or subtracting more overall weight to the heel and toe of the
clubhead. More weight in the heel will assist those who lag and leave the toe open in
their stroke. Golfers with a tendency to pull their putts will benefit from more weight
on the toe.
MicroGroove Face Technology features a softer durometer thermoplastic TPU insert
face for a greatly improved feel. The putter face on each of the Wingman 700 Series
putters features MicroGroove technology that provides a soft, yet pure feel upon
contact. The horizontal precision-molded grooves improve forward roll earlier in the
putt and reduces skidding off the face to create a better roll.
A new Jumbo Sink Fit Pistol grip from Lamkin features a distinctive contoured shape
and exclusive Fingerprint Technology. The Sink Fit Pistol encourages lighter grip
pressure and a smoother putting stroke.
Hosel Information
Wingman 701, 703, 705 – The Mid-Toe Hang hosel (30 °) is ideal for a putting stroke
with a slight arc, where the closing angle on the forward stroke is moderate and
compensates against the tendency to pull a putt left. The slight arc is the putting
stroke that the majority of golfers have shown to produce and the kind of motion
that usually matches best with blade putters. In addition to the Toe Hang providing
the ability to use the same stroke as a blade, it also offers the off-center-hit
forgiveness of an oversized mallet due to its extreme MOI properties.
Wingman 702, 704 – The Double Bend Face-Balanced hosel is designed for a
pendulum straight back, straight through putting stroke due to the face of the putter
rotating less during the putting stroke. This true square back to square through
stroke creates a consistent blocking motion in the stroke, making it harder to putt
off-line, even on mishits away from the center of the face.
Wingman 706 – This lone Center-Shafted hosel provides an alignment-oriented Face-
Balanced putter suited for players who keeps their eyes directly above the ball and
takes the club straight back and swings straight through the ball. With equal
amounts of weight in the heel and toe, this type of club suits a player who keeps his
eyes directly above the ball and takes the club straight back and swings straight
through the ball.
The stock shaft of the Wingman 700 series is the KBS CT Tour putter shaft. This stepless
steel-putter has a stiffer structure throughout the shaft and specifically in the tip to provide
more stability. The firmer profile makes the putter feel easier to control and provides better
head awareness. All models will be available in 33”, 34” and 35” in RH only.
