FAQ

DM that's a great post, we also thank your fingers for getting into all the detail re: these clubs. Thanks.

For woods - No difference unless it's a head that isn't available in retail. It might not even have a square/open face. Taylor Made is the main company that has heads that were not released retail. It's changing though and they are releasing the newer heads to retail after a short testing period. However, the tour faces are not hotter and they are just set up for someone else's specs. I've had many tour clubs and I've had them tested by one of the best clubmakers around. The irons, wedges and putters - They are just set up for someone else. Tweaked to their spec w/ grooves, grind and whatever. Or could be prototypes.

Great photos Chris. I'm looking forward to seeing what they are going to do next. Thanks :P

The photos below are of MCsub's Bettinardi. Rare!

Here's my keeper. They have come and gone and this Scotty Platinum Newport Handstamp 350g is still in the bag...

Contact Chris (TourSpecGolfer). I purchased all of my Zodia's through him. I recently added a Zodia Premium 48* as well.

Sent you a PM with the person to contact. TourSpecGolfer.

Chris: GSS always stood for German Stainless Steel. Specifically used on some of the very special Scotty's. I forget what DASS stands for :cry: I have no idea on the exact mineral content of either of these.

PM sent on the Ridge Top.

That's a great deal especially with that shaft! :roll:

This is pretty darn exciting... 8)

Junk to you. By the way, did we really have to get political in this thread? To me, Cobras are Democrat drivers, loud and obnoxious. :D :D Yes, but, if these drivers are Republican and remind you of Todd when you see them, they would have bad haircuts and poor taste in clothes. :lol: Those are the kinds of things that I would have to deal with if I played them!

We'll send Mike to knock on his door w/ an AK to make sure he is legit. :wink: OH BTW, Talk about ruining a market price. :roll: Hah - No kidding. This guy has no conscience. He doesn't care a damn about Tour Club sellers!

I've had the MR-23 CB's and really didn't care for them. I love Tourstage irons though. I've had quite a few different ones. I think the X-Blade CB's are really a next step for TourStage and they would stand head and shoulders above the MR's in forgiveness, accuracy and length. That being said, I just saw the new post from Chris about the 2004 MR CB's and Drivers. I'm willing to bet that the new MR-23 CB's are going to be a very hot set of irons. 8O

A little hard to believe though. The irons he's selling are the same kind of deal. 8O

Welcome to the forum. I'm sure Chris (Tourstagegolfer) will chime in on this. Personally I would recommend to go and hit them all. Try them out. You have the great advantage of being able to play a non-conforming club. I would have kept both the TourStage X-Drive 390 and the TourStage MR-23 if I could have had them in a higher loft and been conforming. I'm very happy with my Gemini right now, but I'm always looking..

Personally, I get the heebie jeebies playing TM drivers because of Todd. I hope some day to get over it. It's like playing a Republican driver or something. Can't go there. There are lots of good drivers out there.

Why not just get some parallel tipped shafts and sell the Tapers?

I'm with you AKFLY just waitin' for competition to do its thing...I see nothing wrong with asking for 3K to see if someone will pay that. It becomes more interesting when you expect everyone else to ask the same outrageous price and nobody listens. A good rant always brings competitors around to your way of thinking :roll: . at least it's good for a few laughs...thanks for bringing back the slam dunk FAQ... :lol: :lol: I figured it was a special occasion! :lol:

Unfortunately, it's not that simple and there is much more than meets the eye.

Yeah, you guys, really. How about... Please do not feed the Repo Man. Place the Quad down and step away from the table.

Time to resurrect the dunk! It's the playoffs!

That's a sweet driver! 8O

From reading Joe's thread about open faces hitting the ball lower I believe this means closed. Joe was referring to loft in RELATION to the head being either open or closed.

>>>>>"TourSpecGolfer" Ive got an idea, I'm thinking about sending a couple non conforming TS drivers out to the U.S to be demoed by TSG'rs, Ive got a 9.5 MR23 and ViQ just sitting around. I will shaft them with Tour Release 27.3's in Stiff and send them out as long as the members don't beat them to badly and Insure/track them to each other so the next guy actually gets them. Of course this is for our most trusted members with good reputations. Good Idea :?: <<<<<< I think that's a great idea. Put me on that list. I bet people start using non-conforming clubs much more just to have some fun with.
