Now if that is a short head like the Bettinardi 360XM, then that putter has some serious potential.

34"

I have a Yes! Sophia. I putted about 5 balls in the house, then took it to the green and putted three balls. That's it. Condition is mint. I ordered it direct from Yes! for $170 + shipping. I will sell it for $150 shipped. Super Bowl time, I will check back in a few hours.

I doubt there is any hex pattern in the Titlesit ProV. It is more like bad television resolution is the explanation for a slight hex look. Cally does license ball technology from Acushnet that goes into the HX Tour ball, but not vice-versa.

As a putter maker who has made a mint copying other putter designs, Scotty must be extremely flattered by this blatant copy. Now which one is uglier?

It is the 4th and 5th picture.

Pentax Optio S. I used the lowest picture quality settings so I did not have to edit the pics to size them down. Usually I do high quality 1024 x 768 then edit in Photoshop to crop and size for a web page. It's been a good workhorse camera and very small. Battery life is pretty good too. Now someone buy some clubs! :smile1:

Trade done....thanks.

Pics below for all. Tourstage MR-23 7 Wood, TXD-65 S flex shaft. Scratch on top line from hitting a sandy ball. $150. Hiro Matsumoto MB-01 Putter. 34.5 inches. This is a brass putter with a very distinctive sound/feel/look. Great patina look to it. Very minor bag wear dings. $200. Guerin Rife putter. $100 Fourteen wedges. MT-28 low bounce 56 and 58. 56 is bent to 53. Raw finish with rust forming nicely. These are some of the most aggressive and sharp wedges out there; balls just stop dead. DG wedge shafts. Excellent condition. $125 each. Retail Rescue 22* See pics for condition. Sole has scratches. Club slipped out of my hands!!! $100 Sonartec Super CV 10*. This was an experiment with a shorter driver, its 43", but because it was short (YS 6 S flex shaft), it needed lead tape to get the weight up. $150. Solid driver.

Shaft is great, I have played that model Fuji in Drivers for a couple of years. If I remember correctly, the Fuji brochures used to have a 4 gram difference between 693HK and TR (HK was 69 vs 73 for TR), but when JK weighed them, they were the same. They at least have the same kick point. Forgot to add, length is 44.5 and sw is lighter side of D2.

This one is tour issue, has the tour serial #. Pretty good shape. See pics. $375 shipped. Going to Ebay tomorrow where it will be listed for ONE MILLION DOLLARS!!! Just kidding.

It's rolled about 5 putts. Still sparkling new with headcover. It would cost you about $180 for this putter with shipping from Yes! Save $30 and buy mine for $150 shipped. Only trade interested in now at the moment is a Launcher Titanium 15* or a Launcher 17*.

The Launcher Comp is a pretty good driver. It is taking some getting used to because for the last few years I have only been using deep face drivers. Anyway, the 10.5 launches just a bit too high for me. Anyone want to trade their 9.5 for a 10.5. Mine is in near new condition, stock fuji OEM shaft in S flex.

Next?

Plenty of time to sell 3 or 4 sets....

I talked to Cally today and can confirm this is true. I am still trying to angle for a set sooner from the tour department, but at the rate its going, might as well wait for them to be released and then dumped on Ebay for $700.

If you do not sort out a previous deal, I have a tour issue 580XD with the TP crest. Currently shafted with Fuji Tour Spec 693TR in S flex. Playing at 44.5 and on the lite side of D-2.

length? flex?

Not sure the longest and most forgiving, it could be the Ping G2. It sure is not the MR-23 Maru driver, that's the least forgiving, though it is long.

A buddy of mine is interested in buying them if you will play two more rounds without iron covers on them.

Well if that is the best Japan has to offer....... :tired: Watch out, here come the Aussies.....

You mean 371? Sold mine to a buddy but I think he may let go at the right price. He paid $600 so would have to be around that price plus shipping. If interested, I'll ask him if he'd sell. Send me an email. Thanks, Didier Yes, I meant 371, thanks. $600 + shipping is too much; especially for a used driver. I can get a new one around that price. If your buddy is really serious, let me know. Thanks. DM.

Anyone? S-flex shaft preferred.

It will cause less controversy here, so I will post a small nugget here. If some of the emails that have been forwarded to me are true, and considering the source, I have no reason to believe otherwise, part of the reason why there is confusion over tour vs retail when it comes to the TP line is this.... The first what we call "batch" of heads (and this could be one run, two runs, etc...) that are shipped to TM for the use of tour pros and other testers are still in flux when it comes to actual manufacturing specs as compared to the eventual retail product. The driver design itself is for argument purposes in stone. The shape, looks, paint scheme, edges, etc....are not going to change once the driver goes from proto stage where the quantity made is much less than 100 (more like 10-20) to production stage where the quanitites are in the 100s or even over 1000. In proto stage, there can still be very minor changes to the product from one run to the next that overall do not affect performance and TM's design goals, but it can feel a little different. For example, if I change the glue from one run to the next, it could feel a little different. If I change the weld pattern, it could feel different. THe emphasis is on could. Keep in mind, the same subcontractor and the same machinery is used to make the tour and retail product (TP lines). From a design point of view and manufacturing point of view, it is the same product. A lot of times the minute change from one proto run to the other is done by the manufacturer on their own. TM does not call them and say, oh for this run, can you source the Titanium elsewhere. TM probably insists on a baseline quality of Titanium but as long as it is met the manufacturer can get that from different places. As long as they meet the spec and the quality control numbers are achieved, little differences mean nothing to TM. It's like when a computer gets manufactured, the internal chips may get changed based on supplier costs/availability, etc....as long as it is running the same code, who cares where the chip came from, it only has to meet the baseline standard. In the end, you possibly have this scenario, although I am simplifying it. R7 is in proto stage and has run #1 it feels like X. TM expands the testing and has more tour pros using the R7 so run #2 is needed. Before run #3 quantities in a larger number the manufacturer (on its own) changes the process slightly to accommodate better production numbers and meet demand. Time passes and we get up to run #7, the TP line with final retail graphics. Before run #7, the manufacturer changes the prodcution schedule and machine time to another location in the plant because the machines and personnel that did run #1 are working on another proto. It's the same design spec, all the same materials. But guess what, run #7 feels slightly different than run #1 and run #3. Why? Who knows? To TM it is irrelevant. To us mortals, at best, it just feels a little different, but that does not make the so called proto, or tour driver any better or worse than the TP. Lastly, we cannot account for the part of the different feel debate that is feuled by mental nonsense (including profit motivation). A tour pro can be given (and this happens frequently) 10 drivers to try on the range all pretty close to his specs. The driver heads are the same, maybe one or two will be a different loft for fun. But the point being, the tour pro takes a handful of identical drivers and finds one he likes and dicards the rest. Now did he like that one because it was manufactured with a different titanium? No. Was it made in a special lab? No. It's a mental issue why the feel is slightly different. You could take that driver away two weeks later and put it in a box with ten others with the same specs and he may not choose it again. It's all mental in the world of golf.

Mizzys sold, Miuras are off the table.
