  3. Good question. I know they had the Tour Shallow r7's. I haven't heard any buzz about an r7HT TP yet, but if I do, I'll let you know.

    knowing taylormade, theyll release a tp version. they did for the r5 and r7.

    r7 tp shallows & r5 tp's will not be released to the public, this is straight from my tour reps mouth

  4. we all my think its old news, but i dont see that many guys using a r5 dual tp out there. the r7 is the most used driver on tour, with tm staffers & non tm staffers. :whistle:

    Yea true, but if any other company put out tee up money like TM then they would have a hefty share in the driver market. TM is oversaturated in the business and I believe retail products are not as high quality as other brands. MHO though.

    Taylor Made does not put up the most tee up money. Callaway puts up the most tee money. Titleist and Taylor put up $1000 less a week than Callaway.

    correct, definatly telling us that TM are one of the best drivers on tour

  7. great info, to add on that my tour reps @TM & i know others that work for TM get MOSTLY "tour issue" products with the Txxxxx & other non issue retail serial's. but titleist "tour" stuff is the same as retail. as for TM, the R7 shallow & at the moment the R5 dual TP(unless it is released) like the xd TP's are not available at retail & are less likely to be scammed by these "EBAY ABUSERS".

  9. it is probably a demo but he is most likely calling it tour because it hasnt been released to the puiblic yet. jat

    still crazy to pass it off as straight from a tour players bag & sucker someone into paying $1000 bucks for a club they could buy for $400 in a week with the same s**tty shaft. TOTAL ABUSE wouldnt you say?

    Just started playing last year, love the sport immensely though.

    Spent all last season learning how to swing at the driving range and not kill someone with an errant golf ball.

    (Yes, I was that bad)

    None the less, I'm always up for a round!

    maybe we could get together for a round, just dont kill me! j/k

    tinardi88]Condition is 9 - 9+/10 conservatively. I bought it and seldom use it as I am not hitting it very well. So i decided to stick to my tour 17*. No dent/ding whatsoever' date=' only slight normal wear from play.

    Shaft is as good as new.

    Looking at $225shipped or pls make offer.

    trades: looking at scotty pro platinum milspec 350g putter. thks.[/quote']

    $200 Shipped

    some one pls take this away. any reasonable offer will be consider. It's difficult to get this club in this good condition.

    paint break? smoothie? i was going to put my vsteel back into play cuz i cant get these from my tm tour rep. i cant really use the shaft as i need a xs maybe i can do $100 head only, cant use the shaft & have been lucky enough to not pay for a club in a while!

  14. Cost comparison?

    VERY, VERY, VERY RARE!!! got em from my TM tour reps & 1 from a friend so it didnt cost me a thing, a 9.5 & 8.5. thats just an example of how hard they are to get, my TM guys had trouble getting em for me. price wise, 10.5/9.5 can range from $1300/1600 due to these lofts being most popular. 8.5 is probably $1000/1200 IF, & thats a big IF you can find one. IMO if your a HO its worth the money, i like the R5 dual TP better than the r7 TP shallows i was using, it did knock them out of the bag! but to have a driver in your bag that you know NOBODY(well maybe a few here & there but i doubt ill ever see one in a playing partners bag) will have in the bag besides you is PRICELESS, i didnt wanna hit these drivers i liked them so much.

    :love: :tm: :logo:

  15. Funny you should mention the Blue Rage. Its the driver I had before the TP also. I thought it was the best driver nobody played.

    really!!! i have a buddy who was a Mizuno staffer who had the driver, 3, & 5 woods & he hated it, always pulled the 3, actually come to think about it i never saw hit hit that thing, probably cuz he had a bimatrix shaft in the thing :surprize: i guess thats what happens when at the time you have a shaft that only worked for 1 person, Mark Cal! remember all the rage in this shaft when he put it into play about 3years ago? ive actually seen a few of these out on tour in fairways! IMO i would never play 1, had it in an old 975FE & had to have it pulled asap & went back to the x100, but that was 3years ago in an "OL SKOOL" driver which was shweet at the time!

  16. I think we can look forward to drivers no smaller than 400 cc with two sub-trends; adjustable weights and 460 cc heads. 460 cc heads have become relatively inexpensive to produce and very forgiving to play. Those with more specialized requirements will continue to seek out drvers like the R7.

    I've talked a couple of buddies into buying the Ping G2 460 and the Mizuno MP-001 460 with GD YS series shafts (6 for one, a 7 for the other) and they both couldn't be happier. Relatively inexpensive investments, too.

    Uhhh, make that three sub-trends. Forgot to mention composite or multi material drivers. This tech will become more prevalent with large heads allowing manufacturers to move more weight around to control CG location. Emerging nanotechnology will fuel this trend in near future.

    the MP001 & G2 arent bad drivers for the price at all, but for that price IMO i think the reg. R5 dual is a better feeling, better quality, & longer for the extra 30 bucks although i have not hit a stock r5 dual i have only hit the r5 dual tp's that i am currently using. the only driver that i have heard praise about is a G2 400cc Tour driver.

  17. I have the R7 TP currently, and I'm curious as to what the specs of the R5 TP are in comparison.

    450cc, 2 moveable weights, tp crest on the toe, i took my r7 shallows out of the bag for these, IMO it is better than the r7. bigger head is a bit more forgiving, workablity is great being able to hit it left/right, high/low. launch monitor said my ball speed increased by 7mph, any way to get more distance.

  21. there is def. a paint break on that v steel...and say, while your in this thread..what are your thoughts on the tour concept shaft...I play s300 in my cg1's and cg10's...and have a pretty high trajectory which I love in my long irons but tends to get knocked down pretty easy in shorter irons...think the tour concepts might change things? Also, do you feel like you are standing over a graphite shafted iron...kinda looks that way from pics I have seen. Thanks. Good luck this season...maybe I'll run into you at a few events on the NWT. Ciao

    to tell you the truth i kinda like the DG X100's that i had in my RAC MB's, DG's & TC are both high kick, to bump down the ball flight i had them tipped, i dont think it would be worth changing to TC's if you just wanna change the flight. IMO just have them tipped. all the fuss about TC is that there hard to get. ibe been thinking going back to the DG SC x100's in my irons. never think its graphite cause the weight & feel is still steel, IMO. hope this helps. LAter DUDE

  22. I agree this auction looks sketch...but check the items he has sold in the past Titleist Tour...even sold a 13* Vsteel Tour with YS9.1 with a $90 buy-it-now...WTF? $90????????????

    i have, but the vsteel in the pictures looks like it doesnt have paintbreak, if it does i need glasses, a 905 with Titleist Speeder out of a PGA TOUR PLAYERS BAG, a Titleist Speeder isnt even a custom option, it comes retail, the only way i see this being possible is if a Tour player lost his driver & bought this from a pro shop that had a DEMO, that is the only way.

  23. HOMSTYLZ,

    Is the R5 Dual TP a better choice than the R7 TP. I demoed an r5 dual and the thing is just to gigantis.

    to tell you the truth the R7 TP is still my favorite driver, but the R5 dual TP gave me 10 yards & i just loved the feel, it knocked the R7 TP shallow out of the bag, its my 1st driver over 400cc & i absoulutly love it! the only thing is right now im looking to trade my 9.5 for an 8.5 so my back up's are the same. my TM reps cant find me any at the time, have any sources Juan?

  24. lol whats the odds....tour pga pro using the new Titleist speeder! if ya ask me its a waste of a job paint job!!!!!!

    waste of a paint job! how about the waste of epoxy on the shaft! when i ashed him about the club, this is what i was told, "I RECEIVED THIS CLUB FROM A PLAYER WHO GOES TO THE TITLEIST PREFORMENCE CENTER OUT IN CA, THIS CLUB WAS CUSTOM BUILT FOR HIM AND IS TOUR QUALITY." quaker lane, Titleists test facilities in achushnet are 10 minutes away from my house, i contacted Cindy Delrosario whom helps me out with balls & gloves during the season & is a tour rep. she has told me that most 905's with no serial #'s are demos. i cant believe this guys is trying to con me, like i dont know my s**t. especially that he says it came out of a pga tour bag, now its a friend at the titty preformance center. whoever buys this thing is going to be :money: to him ripping people off :-)

    check this out, guys passing along a so called tour issue Titleist 905, the catch is the SPEEDER shaft in it. claims it came straight out of a tour players bag, only to have a Titleist Speeder shaft??? i have serious doubts about any tour players using this garbage shaft. amatures wont even play this shaft, why would a tour pro!!! this guy has to be full of s**t!!!!
