August 2, 200421 yr I recently picked up a Tour Brassie Flex Twist Graphite shafted 2 wood, I think it maybe a tour issue club but not completely sure. Firstly the head has a serial number stamped on the hosel, I have another steel shafted tour brassie which doesn't have a serial number on it. Anybody know if TM was serial ,stamping retail clubs back then in the late 80's early 90's ??? Secondly it has the flex twist shaft, from my recollections at the tip was printed the flex designator in the form "FTG-R" in Graphite or " FTT-R" for the titatium shafted model and S or X for flex. The club I have has "TM-62" and appears to play very stiff. Any thoughts ?? Thanks[/img]
August 6, 200421 yr wow, can't help you on that one. That is an old school club. It will be interesting to see if someone else has knowledge that goes back that far!! I would be impressed :cool:
August 10, 200421 yr I remember hitting a tour issue flex twist X shaft that had the marking FTG-51. It was the best feeling combo I had hit but that was 10 years ago. The number on your shaft might indicate a tour issue.
August 10, 200421 yr Author I spotted a 3 wood on Ebay marked up FTG-L1, a ladies flex so I think that portion is right but I'm baffled as to the TM (Taylor Made)..... MM48 do you think the 51 and 62 is equiv of the 5.5 - 6.5 flex designators on rifles ??? Do you remember if the tour club has a serial # on it back then ??? Thanks for the replies guys!
August 11, 200421 yr jboy, The 3 wood that I hit was definitely a tour issue. The pro received it directly from TM. That long ago, I can't remember or may not have looked for a serial number. I do remember that the shaft was unique to have the FTG-51 number. I tried to buy the club from the pro but he didn't want to sell it at the time. I don't think that the 51 related to 5.5 in a Rifle flex. It felt much stiffer than the factory Flex Twist shaft and performed better than the factory Flex Twist X shaft. That's about all I can remember. mm48
August 13, 200421 yr Author Thanks MM, I'm going to email TM to see if they can find anything on the serial number, I want to know what the shaft is on this thing because it feels like a fence post.
