Posted February 3, 200520 yr comment_76003 I just picked up a 16* RC BBD 4wood on fleabay, and noticed the "PRO" after Super S.S. doesn't look quite right. It does not follow a clean line with the other letters, the letter shapes aren't consistent, and looks like it was ground in almost as an afterthought. My question is, does the "PRO" on your clubs look this way, too, and is this normal? Any replies appreciated.
February 3, 200520 yr comment_76072 From the pic of have of mine here at work it's hard to tell. I'll have to take a closer look at the club when I get home tonight.
February 4, 200520 yr comment_76145 Shipped off my new 16* and 19* Super SS Pro's to Joe Kwok yesterday but will look at my old 15* and 19* when I get home. I don't think you have much to worry about though because the Super SS 4 wood has 18* of loft and the highest loft Super SS 3 wood is 15.5*. There is no 16* loft Super SS. What does the face angle on your 16* look like? The Super SS Pro's are square and the Super SS's are a degree or so closed. Jeff
February 4, 200520 yr Author comment_76146 thanks for the reply. i look forward to hearing what you turn up. i did happen to find a close-up in another auction that seems to have the same, slightly "off", look to it. i wonder if they all are this way. my initial thought was that maybe it was just an S.S. and that someone had added the "PRO" to make the club more desirable.

The Super SS Pro's are square and the Super SS's are a degree or so closed.Jeff thanks for the info about there not being a comparable super ss 4wd in 16*, i didnt even think to check if there was one or not. as far as the face angle is concerned, i know that the pro is supposed to be square and the ss slightly closed, but i honestly cant even tell. i have a hard time distinguishing a degree closed/open. i just think the lettering in "PRO"looks peculiar as it is not quite the same font as the Super SS, and the 'R' is slightly raised. It really looks as though it was added after the fact!
February 4, 200520 yr comment_76172 I took a close look at my 15* and 19* Super S.S. Pros and I think I see what you are talking about: there is no space between "S.S." and the "P" of Pro and the word "Pro" seems to be on a line slightly above the "Super S.S." engraving and tilted up to the right. Could well be that the "Pro" was added to the "Super S.S." engraving in a slightly haphazard way. But I don't think it means that what you and I have is not authentic. Jeff

February 4, 200520 yr Author comment_76261 thanks for the feedback, fellas. you've helped allay my concerns and suspicions about this club.
February 9, 200519 yr comment_77204 Don't fret. I have a 13* and it looks sort of faint, too. It's an odd feature. But it does seem to be consistent.
