jobrown7 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I bought a new Cleveland Launcher 3-wood with a Speeder 757 shaft. It is reported to be a "Tour" model but I don't know how to tell. It sets up very square and doesn't have a degree mark next to the loft (which btw is 13). So, can anyone tell me how to determine if this really is a tour model? Thanks for your help....

kpcw Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Tour model, tour model. I could not tell you if it is a Tour Model but let me ask you an honest question: Who cares? Really. You like the club. The club likes you. You like eachother. You hit it well, it sets up nice and looks pretty at addres. If the Tour Model Tooth Fairy comes to you tonight and leaves a 'Tour Model' Cleveland Head under your pillow, will you have a lower score tomorrow? Does the Earth's axis move? Tour tour tour. A tour model that you buy might have been dialed-in with extra rat glue, a heavier swingweight, lighter swing weight. Does that mean it's for you? Watch the Daytona 500? Now those are what, Tour Model Fords? Does that mean the car is perfect for a family of five to drive across country on vacation? Have you ever eaten a Tour Model Porterhouse steak? Was it better than Smith and Wollensky's or Peter Luger's? How about Tour Model Boxer shorts, I hear they are the latest craze. Ever try Tour Model toothpaste, your teeth get white in the exact same time as regular toothpaste...but at twice the price! Joe Kwok on this site, or a gifted club maker could not just make you a so-called 'Tour Model' but could create a 'Made-for-you' Model. THAT IS WHAT THE PROS GET!!! I am sorry to be so cynical, it's just that I am sick and tired of hearing about people seeking, begging, buying, raving and non-stop chatter about "Tour Model" this and "Tour Model" that. You like the Cleveland 3-wood? Get a dremmel kit and file a 'T' onto the hosel. Bam, you got a Tour Model. Better yet, have a gifted club maker create one for you and have your initials carved in it, it's all yours man. Enjoy and good luck.

kpcw Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I'm all for golfers seeking Tour product, no doubt and yes, this is a great site to seek/obtain it. It's just that when someone has a club they groove on, they feel obligated/compelled to justify/know if its a 'Tour' club or not. I hope your 3-wood goes 260 with a slight fade and you are content with it, either way. Enjoy. :love: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpcw Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 Also, if you really want to poke/make fun of me...look at the ball I use. It has 'tour' in the name. :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nudgeegolf Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I have a Cleveland Tour FW (3 wood) - it has no loft on the sole and has two sizeable dots. Apparently there are two models out there, one has one dot and the other has two dots and I believe (could be wrong of course) that the different dots signify different lofts.
