Publication Abstract: The production of $\eta^{(\prime)}\pi$ pairs constitutes one of the golden channels to search for hybrid exotics, with explicit gluonic degrees of freedom. Understanding the dynamics and backgrounds associated to $\eta^{(\prime)}\pi$ production above the resonance region is required to impose additional constraints to the resonance extraction. We consider the reaction $\pi^-p\to \pi^-\eta^{(\prime)} \,p$ measured by COMPASS. We show that the data in $2.4 < m_{\eta^{(\prime)}\pi} < 3.0\gev$ can be described by amplitudes based on double Regge exchanges. The angular distribution of the meson pairs, in particular in the $\eta' \pi$ channel, can be attributed to flavor singlet exchanges, suggesting the presence of a large gluon content that couples strongly to the produced mesons.
