Non-Closed drivers

[ezra76]

is that a 510TP I see there?

Yes. Message too short?? Why yes VT Divot, it is, complete with skymark.

(don't worry Tmag the one I sent you was the Sflex, that pic is the Xflex one).

Come on Ez.... quit twisting it left to make it look closed. Look at that shaft... :laugh:

Lol. Ok maybe a little exageratted but that baby is far from dead square. I pulled the crap out of it at first. I had to set up fade with a ridiculously weak grip to hit it straight.

Geeze, I just happen to have one of those in my bag....:laugh:

Seriously, Gun, if my Ft-3 works out for me, I'll sell you this head for cheap. If you want the whole she-bang (shaft too), we can work something out.

Give me two weeks for a trial run. Can you wait that long?

can do. this week will fly by, and i leave for mexico friday for a week so i won't even be thinking of golf which = no hoing....

If your Hi Bore is as good as you say it is, no chance the FT-3 will knock it out of the bag. I've hit it many times, it was a nice driver, but nothing to wow over.

Tour, or the regular? The reviews and launch monitor stats of this thing tell otherwise. The one I hit last summer was good, but the shaft was garbage.

Roger that, Gun. I will have multiple people looking at this, guaranteed. Hell, it's so good, I might not even sell it.

That's those morons over at BSG hyping it up. There all over something else now.

Actually I've read that it's a high speed, low spin head, and in person I've hit a few rockets with it. However, you'll notice that it isn't very forgiving, and is really quite ordinary. Especially since you are so crazy about your Hibore, I can't see this one changing your mind.

EZ's wedge says you'll prefer the Cleveland

 

[dave.]

TM claim 1* open for their TPs

Yet their manufacturing tolerances are for 2* for loft AND face angle

Its ludricrous,like Ferarri saying their top speed is somehwer between 100 and 300

 

[ManchesterGolfer]

Looks pretty square maybe a degree closed. Hopefully this will be super easy to hit straight as my back up driver.

I'll bet you 2 sleeves of HX Tours. I'm not getting Ez's wedge....oh, you mean for the Augusta bet. Nah, that's going on the wall for all to see....:laugh:

Are the tour's supposed to play truer to loft?

Hibores? Depends on the head. I would say that this head plays to 10*. For most heads, the more open it is, the more loft you lose. But most OEM heads that are stamped "8.5*" are probably closer to 10, and those stamped 10 are closer to 12*.

sorry to bring this back up, it made it to page 2 awfully fast and i haven't had time to get on in the past couple days, anyways,

i'm convinced, definitely dumping this stock HiBore in favor of a tour issue.

question.

is there any way of checking the Txxxxx serial numbers for authenticity? found a pretty good looking auction on a no-letter head, they listed the serial number, but didn't take any pics of the hozel area, found that sort of strange so i figured i'd ask you guys. he's got a 100% rating so i'm not too worried, just figured better safe than sorry.

thanks,

I suppose you could call Cleveland to check it. Other than that, I have no clue.

I know where mine came from...
