chajr Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I am looking a purchasing a club that claims to be a Tour issued 983 K. How can I tell whether or not the seller is telling the truth. Will the club be with out Serial #'s or will it have a special serial #. thanks. I have definately learned a lot from this site so far - Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfdr Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Actually - you have to trust the person selling the club. I have had tour issues of Titleist that have and have not had the serial number. I also know for a fact that many demos have no serial numbers and clubs in Canada have no serial number.

chajr Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Is there a "feel" difference is hitting a 983 K tour vs the retail version. I appreciate all your help - Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BostonHack Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 Why Titleist drivers from Canada don't have serial numbers? interesting I could drive upthere buy one and pass it as a tour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chajr Posted March 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 The person claims to have gotten the driver from Tim Simpson. The driver is shafted with a Rifle 6.5. The one thing that is making me wary is that he claims the tour head was deigned to be lighter to be paired with a heavy shaft. Does this sound reasonable? Thanks for everyones help.

golfdr Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 You can drive to Canada and do that exact same thing. I bought an early so called tour head without a serial number - after tracking the person that was selling them - he sold over 20 of these so called drivers. I emailed a couple of people and found out he was buying from a golf course in Canada and selling them as tour issue clubs. Fuji speeder 757's are easy to come buy. I also looked at a demo cart in Las Vegas and not one head had a serial number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiertos Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 the feel is different on a tour K. the face is hotter, ball comes off with less spin and it will fly lower due to this. i know my sellers and my 983 tours are legit...someone buy one so i can get a j340 already!!!!!!!!!!!!
