I picked up a Fuji 660TR (pull) so that I could put it in a brand new Tourstage XDriver 365. Sweet combo, right?

Now I know from ALL my experience with Tourstage drivers that they require .335 tipped shafts. I am under the assumption that ALL 660TR are TourSpec and that all TourSpec shafts are .335 tips. Am I wrong here? Okay, then why doesn't my shaft insert into my new head?

What's more...I have a GD YS-6 that (if memory serves me) I pulled from one of the j340s I bought before; I've only owned Tourstage or Titleist drivers in the past 3 years so I know this shaft comes from a Tourstage. It is also .335. It doesn't fit the XD-365 either.

So I find another shaft hiding in the garage, a Rifle graphite--don't know where in the hell I got that from. Anyway, it fits!!! I checked the Rifle web site and it's .335.

What's going on here? Why doesn't my 660TR fit the X-Drive?

is the .335 shafts too small to fit in the hosel? the only time ive see this happen is with my r5 dual tp's, they are sopposed to be .335 tip but it is tood big to fit it smoothly & can fit a .350 in there snug, the .335 shaft needed a shim that was filed down to fit the sopposidly .335 hosel. a lot of tour heads are going to .350 tips no, cleveland, ping, ect. i wouldnt worry about it, just make sure you have someone who knows what there doing so they dont just toss you shafts with tons of epoxy so it fits. shim the shaft then sand it down little by little until its snug, or you can by epoxy with "beeds" (small little balls) that fill the gap between the shaft & hosel so you dont need a shim. just got a new holy grail with a 660tr, sweet shafts. hope this helps

But none in the current top 6 at Augusta. :tired:

ok, no need to rub it in! :wah:

What woud a set of these be worth being that they are in excellent condition and are shafted with s400's?

a set that i got my buddy last year that he used for about 8months (normal wear) sold for around $750/800

Thanks Guys, I had the shaft pulled and its pretty close to 1.375" as well.

no problem

So, why isn't anybody that uses the new titleist 905t winning any tournments on the PGA tour? Maybe titty needs to step up to a 460 size head. Sometimes it is good to follow and not lead.

Ernie Els has done well with the 905T, but unfortunately not as well in the US as Internationally.

The Taylor Made R7 is 400cc as well and it is the most played driver on tour, so I don't think it's just the size of the head.....

I love my 905T!

Bert-B

TAYLOR MADE ALL THE WAY, WE SHOULD BE RACKING UP MORE WINS, NO SOULD DEFINATLY, LOL :yuk:

I know that actual TOUR weights are the odd numbers but today I realized that some of the weights for the R7s are different sizes but have the same weight to them. (If you don't get what I am saying, let me explain). I had a 14 gram weight in a TOUR head that I received and noticed that it was MUCH shorter (about the length of a 10g) than the retail TP 14g weight. I was not sure if this was missed marked by TM so I decided to weigh both on a digital scale and they both were the same, 14g's. I like the one that came in the TOUR head because it sits flush in the head rather than sticking out like the TP version.

Is this old news? (Don't remember seeing a post about this)

Has anyone else noticed this?

i have noticed the 13g's that i have are shorter (would figure them to be close to the 14g) & the 14g's i have a touch smaller than a standard, maybe more ill hafta check as my odd & even weight kits are in my locker @ the club.

It's a matt blue version of the diamana 83!!!

matte blub diamana, exactly like the one in my R5 dual TP, does this make me tiger esque!!!! probably not, DAMN :cool:

possibly intrested in the 60 as im not liking my cg10 60 too much but that maybe b/c it the 1st year with a 60* in the bag!

Well let me know.

I might even be interested in a trade for a TM driver. I'm sure you've got a few layin around.

Chris

alright, let me se what ive got in the works & ill send you over a PM tonight

possibly intrested in the 60 as im not liking my cg10 60 too much but that maybe b/c it the 1st year with a 60* in the bag!

Mint condition, Tour Issue Taylor Made RAC MB Satins, 2-PW that have the faces with the deep mill marks as well as the pockets in the back of the head. These irons are very close to new. The 2 is the head only and the 3-PW are shafted with Tour Concept X1 shafts and brand new Golf Pride Tour Velvet Grips. $1,195.00 or possible trades considered. I accept Pay Pal at [email protected].

Frank, i havent seen you online yet but my friend might be intrested. ill "IM" you asap, unless i see you before i leave for another long ass practice session with my instructor at the club.

Anybody know what improvements there are in these shoes over the Z Traxion 3-Stripe ??

For the first time I'd have to say the Black shoe looks better than the white !

dont know the improvements because i ve never wore adidas shoes until now, have been using white, black, fj classic tours. i have a pair of white tour metals & they are comfy as hell, hafta get me sum black ones! but IMO they look the same to me except for cosmetics of course

:cool: I like the short stubby stripes... I'm planning on getting my name embroidered just above the 3 stripes slanting down the way. Will look super cool. Unlike Sergio & Ian P you need factory contacts to get the heel embroidered but my local sports store can do that area just above the stripes

Homestylz, time to speak to the rep and get your name on your shoes man!

LOL, ive got a congical symbol that represents "crazy" (ive got the same thing tattoo'd on my back about my last name in old english!!!) with my name on the top of my heel, figured id put a lil chinese on the shoes since im chinese & portuguese. but everytime i tell someone im chinese they dont believe me! probably b/c ive got all my mothers portuguese looks, was told by someone @foxwoods casino that i look like my dad from my nose to chin! whatever that means, but jboy i will tell you these shoes are much more comfy than my classics

1.375" for the two I had.

yes, "1.375" is the depth on my lone R7 TP shallow

Is this the longest of the bunch?

No my Honma 420RF proto is, I shafted it with the new Fujikura Tour Spec Rombax.

The DFI is 2nd longest for me, The face isnt as Hot as the Honma's but its as long or longer than everything else ive tried. I honestly think its the lowest spinning high C.O.R driver around. Im playing it at 44" and loving it.

chris, could you get me a fujikura tour spec rombax shaft in XS? whats the price?

really like the adidas staff bag, the white is flat out PIMP, wish i wasnt bound to Taylor Made or id dump my red r7 tp staffer. nice bag jacque

:cool:

didnt care for the r510 that much. like the r7tp, love my r5tp's, but id hafta say holy grail, love the clean & simple look, have been thinking about putting it in play but id hate to waste a shaft for nothing. still a few guys on tour that have the holy pup in their bag

R5 dual TP, dumped my R7 Quad TP shallow faces for it & man is it ever super long

Sounds good.

watching me so the game should be played huh! LOL mind you that i just got out this week like you b/c of all this f**king snow!!!!HA!!!! shot a god awful 76 in my 1st round last thursday, started monday with my instructor & my posture was way off, guess thats what you get after not hitting balls for 3 months! i dont care how good anyone is, its all about having a good time on the course. :cool:

IMO, needed quick cast to buy a retail 905 to pass it off as a tour for $1000+ b/c he got it 2 weeks before they come out, now hes gonna get $500+ funny thing was after the email i sent him he replied telling me its 100% tour, then after i forwarded him a email from my titleist re cindy d. he hasnt replied to a recent one! d**k

:cool:

made an email to ebay, ill let you guys know when they send me a reply

I dont think TM will relase a TP in the HT line, but I am not sure about the R5TP.  If it wont be the actual R5 it will be something very similar from what I have heard.  G :cool:

i have heard from a lot of people (insiders) that the r5 dual tp will released but from all my tm contacts have heard different

IMO fuji is tough to deal with, after testing drivers @the tm test facilities (about 4/6 months ago) in calsbad my tour reps had to jump through hoops to get me ZCom's. after i did some heavy emailing to chad embry after about a month tm finally got them for me, too bad all that work was for nothing, went with SIX's in my r7's & arent using fuji in my R5 dual TP's. i think its crazy that fiji gave TM (US) trouble after all they make all tm shafts, even exotics. they are a pain in the ass that nobody wants to deal with, especially if someones gonna dump $250+ on a shaft

I believe there is steps through ebay that you can go through to nail false advertising.  I think most of these people bidding on these clubs will never realize that what they've purchased is retail.

Believe me it chaps my ass too.  :mad:

i sent an email to ebay, but they did nothing about it, now that its back up on the block, i just think someone should look out for someone whos eyes are in the wool

true, but it just urks me when someone is going to waste $800+ on a non tour club & then find out 2 weeks later that theyve been had for an extra $300+ on a retail club they can buy

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW

this is the same person whom had the so called "tour 905" that auction ended when nobody met the reserve, he got it back up but now there is another person with a shaddy non tour issue 905 just like the guy above; http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...ssPageName=WDVW, cant anything be done, these guys are sticking people with a retail club they could get from golfsmith for $400 bucks, what ass holes :finger:
