what are the differences between the tour issue ignite and the retail version?

thanks

kurt

.335 tip and no I on crown

i heard from somewhere that the tour drivers r a lot longer, they come off the face hotter. dont know where i heard it, bit i recall hearing it

Also no serial number and more square face angle.

I think they have serial numbers, they were etched in gold on the old nikes.

I have two and oddly enough one has a Tour serial # which is different than the retail, and the other has no serial #. They are vey hot clubs and look gret at address. Much better than the retail Ignites, which I think are good, in every facet. Better looking, not as upright, square to open face angle, HOT!

are the launch characteristics the same as the retail?'

also, which do you think is better, Tour R510 or Tour Ignite?

thank you

kurt

Kurt, if you're talking about the tour R510TP, I personally like the Tour Ignites better. I played a tour TP for a little while and find the Ignite to be better for me in pretty much every performance category.

Looks - Tour Ignite (like a larger 983K to me)

Distance - Ignite - carries further and roll is similar

Forgiveness - both are plenty forgiving

Workability - Ignite - the slightly shallower face helps work it both ways

Feel - too subjective a category in my opinion. the two feel different but one isn't necessarily better than the other.

Maybe the launch characteristics of this club just fit me better, but all around I find it better for me than the tour TP for sure. I'd say it launches slightly lower than the retail Ignite. I have a 9.5* and a 10.5*. I'm currently playing the 10.5*. It has slightly more of an open face than the 9.5* which sits pretty much square so they launch the ball similarly. Let me know if you have any other questions.
