The 'tour van' phenomenon

[aceillini]

"you should upgrade your driver every year for best performance"

Ez must have misread that and thought it said every week.

Don't tell him that, he may have to buy another club to make himself feel better. :biglol:

I am buying a new club... or clubs.. I am debating whether to get my new bag and an R7425 or to just do a tiny bit more hoing and get the Superquad...

I just picked up a mint, mint tour-issue Vsteel 13* head with the paint break. It looks really nice. I'm not as nuts about the "tour issue" stuff but I'm glad other's are... I picked up that 200steel tour, actually was a "tour ridgy" they call it, with a VS-Proto 80-x for $59.99. I sold it the other day for $140. That was more than a tour van club though. It was out of Sheehan's bag. He was the only owner and I'll say that head had struck it's share of balls. Surprisingly not one skymark though...

These guys are good.

But don't email daft questions he says,maybe thats because its from genuine famous tour pros? plonker

Yeah buddy, this is my favorite line as well. Are you kidding me? What does the gold writing on the grip say anyway?

I use Tour issue equipment, mainly because a good friend of mine from college works in the tour department at Taylor Made, the only difference that I note is in the clubs that were never brought to retail. I play a Miura forged set of the TP 05 irons, the feel is much softer and the weight of the raw heads is heavier. My 3 wood is a TP steel version that again was never released to the public, I like the smaller head size and open face on it. I have not noticed any difference in the wedges from the tour issue midfied groove TP wedges versus the retail TP wedges that I got through my staff agreement. There will always be people who feel that something made/designed for tour players will help them, or they just want the ability to say that they have tour issued equipment.

I am agreeing with that post, just saying that there are tour issue items that don't ever make it to retail and that is the reason that I play "Tour Issue" equipment. I know Sean Toulon, he is more honest than certain web site owners would like him to be...

Wasn't sure which thread to post my first response under.

Roger that, Tmag. I wasn't stuffing this down your throat, I was just curious if you had seen it or not.

Cheers,

PS>..."certain web site owners"....that's gold.

That was a great thread, really enjoyed reading what Sean said. I imagine the other site is trying to sweep that under the rug big time.

Didn't think you were trying to throw that one on me, it has been a while since I posted on this site.

Sweep what?

They and the lemmings are still in hot melt and tour serial denial.

Idiots.

You mean hot melting doesn't work? I thought I could turn an r7 TP into an r7 Draw if I shot enough goo into the heel. Check out this site for some more laughs.

T,

The R7 Draw is a proprietary head made for TOUR issue only.

$1500 with an Ozik, but the phone fitting is free...
