April 7, 200421 yr Can anyone tell me why I should spend $300+ on a tm v steel 13 deg 3 wd b/c it is "tour" vs going and buying one of the rack for $170.00 ? Is there really a diff in the head or is it just the "mystique"? I really want one, but I am not going to just spend $$$$$

I don't own one but I've been around tour equipment. I own a retail v-steel and do nothing but draw the hell out of it. Like 20-30 yds if I don't concentrate on leaving the face more open at impact. The face on mine looks pretty square so it must be weighted inside the head for a draw bias. I am selling my retail and have already replaced it with a sonartec TRC.

In general, clubs like that that are tour issue are just picked through retail models. They just find the heaviest ones that have the best face angles, and put them aside for tour usage. I have a V Steel retail, that while not a particularly heavy head, it does have a square face. In fact, it's really a shade open. That was the reason I bought it, and I couldn't be happier with it. :D

But the weighting of the club causes dramatic draws and hooks. I am not the first to have this problem with v-steels. My buddy at Shreveport Golf who is a 0 handicap had the same trouble when he hit it. No way the pros play retail v-steels. If they do they have the van open it 2 or 3 degrees. But even then it would seem the ball flight would be too low for a fw wood.
