Hi all,
Am new to this board due to some techinical deficiency on my part in siging up but am a senior member on another board (not "that board"). I have surfed "that board" and still do once in a while and fully agree with the original poster that "that board" is absolutely full of biased BS till no end.
I've never played tour irons or wedges so I can;t comment there but I have played tour issue drivers and frankly, it is way over hyped and not worth the extra $$$ IMO. That said, I now own a R500 10.5 and in this head, I do feel and see a difference to retail heads. It is damn solid.
I've also tried tour FWs and while it looks and feel different (TM 200 retail 3W and Tour 15*), I obviously do not posses the swing to handle teh Tour 15*. My TM 200 retial 3W is much more forgiving and I get the desired results which I guess is what's important. I now has a tour issue TM 200 4 wood 17* sitting around. Sigh... if only I knew better then.
