Has anybody hit this...
The Tour Edge Exotic Proto or any of the Tour Edge drivers?? I know ezra had a thread about this driver awhile back, but has anybody actually used or hit this driver. Nobody around here carries Tour Edge so I can't head to the store to check it out or demo it...I have a TEE 3w and love it, was thinking about checking this out...any thoughts would be much appreciated...

Yes, Crossfire had one for a while and I believe Ezra might have toyed around with one for a while. It has a 2-3* open face much like an FT-3 Tour or HiBore XL Tour, so if going to the right is your normal swing fault I would probably look elsewhere.

Personally, I have not hit one, but love the original TEE Driver. I have a HiBore XL Tour I am messing around with that I have hit some solid drives with, but when I miss the ball goes WAAAYYYY right.

I had the original TEE driver. Hit big hooks with it, but I think that was the shaft. Should have kept it, darn it, and reshafted it.

Is this the original that you were talking about?

How hard are these to reshaft?

That's the exact model and shaft I had. The shaft is shit, but it is easy to reshaft. Beautiful driver and one of the best sounding ever. If you get it and don't like it, let me know.

I see you have the V2 in both of your FW woods, how do you like it as a FW shaft?

It works fine in my 3 wood, not so well in my 4 wood, but that may be the head. I'm working on replacing that 980F head with another TEE 18° head.

I haven't hit one outside of the shop. I'll be getting an XCG, Tour Proto or the Adams XTD in the next week though. I had a 10.5* head but never shafted it. They are a pain. BBTG is only like 1" so you need a practically new shaft. I had a 43" shaft and it would have made a driver just under 44". I've also heard the design has had problems with shafts snapping. Tour Edge has a lifetime warranty though, just make sure you get one that will be covered. Another reason I wanted the Proto, it already has my favorite shaft in it stock. No need to worry about voiding the warranty with a reshaft.
