TM R500 Series Tour Drivers...some questions...

Alright...I'm sooo confused on the whole TM Tour driver thing. Every post I read it has something different that makes it special! I've picked up the following characteristics...so what is what? I know there's DF Protos, tour issues, tour models tour and any other word after it...I've seen these...

Titanium on the toe (ALL R500s have this though! One cause for confusion!)

No serial #

Underline loft

Bigger Clubhead (340cc R510)

.335 hosel dia.

I have an 8.5* tour head that has Titanium on the toe, .335 hosel, the larger clubhead, 340cc I think...and no serial number.

What head do I have? What's it worth? Thanks!

I forget where I copied this information from, but thanks...

Here are some versions of the R510 that I know of. Some are Tour and some are not.

*R510 - first issue that was non-conforming, and did not have any lines in the center of the clubface! 330cc, and .350 tip shaft, and a COR of .860

*RC510 - same as the above, except "conforming"...had the "circular" lines in the center of the clubface, and .350 tip shaft

*The RC510 Version, except the hosel was .335 and the COR was .830, and normally there was no serial number; therefore, a real "tour issue"

*R510 DF Proto - this was the tour issue version that was 390cc and had the line under the loft; this model was both .335 and .350 tip shaft, with the .350 being the rarest of all.

*R510 TP - this was a copy of the above listed, and most, if not all were the .335 tip standard wood hosel.

There was a R500 series that has been confused with the R510 series of drivers, and these are true "prototypes"; and reportedly, less than 360cc of head volume and the maximum COR of .830!
