TM TP FACE VS TM DF..HELP

[mr3putt]

aLL RIGHT... i NEED SOME HELP FROM YOU TECH GURU'S. What is the diff in face height length between a TM tp and TM df ? I guess what I am asking is how can I know if a df is a df ?

The 510 TP and 510 DF are the exact same head. The DF is just tweaked for a specific Tour player. The DF may appear slightly deeper as the paint does not wrap down the face as far as it does on the TP.

I have held them side-by-side and hit a 9.5º DF and 9.5º TP both with the same shaft and if I did not know which was which, I would not be able to tell which was the TP or DF.

Other common differences are that the DF heads are usually heavier, some have open face angles, DF has "Titanium" on the toe rather than the TP crest, DF may not have a serial # or may have a serial # starting with a "T" or a "Z" while the Retail TP will have a normal serial #.

You roll the dice with the DF unless your seller knows what he has as far as weight, loft and face angle. The Retail TP is at least close to spec, while the DF may come with some very odd specs as the normal PGA Pro has a much different swing that most amateurs and can get their equipment tweaked just right for their swing.

Hope that helps.
