Here's the latest on the two new Driver heads coming in from TourSwing.
NAMES AND DESCRIPTIONS
The X-plode is the 460cc version of the 420 cc Proton but with the
expensive Ti face used exclusively by TourSwing as well as a different exclusive
soleplate employed to allow weight distribution more towards the rear (and out).

The Renegade is a 445cc unique shaped head which WOULD have been a square
shape, but instead of taking material from the face, the weight was taken from
the sides...and unlike all other Square/Tri/Hex heads, the weight was placed to
the rear, spread apart. These also employ the the proprietary expensive Ti blend
on the faces.

PERFORMANCE DIFFERENCES
The X-plode with it's deep face has a higher spin rate and GOBS of carry. Unlike
many 460cc drivers, this one is a bit more "workable" than most it's size...
These heads play pretty true to loft...the first batches due out in January will
come out in 9 & 11 degree lofts, right handed only.
The Renegade is the only high MOI offering that provides very low spin....matter
of fact, when ordering these, go up a loft, because the spin rate is so low.
Originally, TourSwing ordered only 9.0 and 10.5 lofts...but seeing that the low
spin rates from their initrial testing surpassed even THEIR expectations, there
will be either a 12 or 13 degree offering down the line.
Intentional toe and heel hits resulted in almost no noticeable loss of
distance....OR ACCURACY.
I got a call in tonight from the test team in Wisconsin who said one guy had a
swing speed of 104, using the Renegade had a ball speed of 167, averaged 282
carry at around a 2400 spin rate and 14.5* launch angle.
PERFORMANCE and OTHER SIMILARITIES
Both have a 40mm deep bore, short hosel to maximize feel.
Both have a very solid "non tink" sound at impact.
Both use the same proprietary Ti face material that when compared to SP-700
demos (they had) resulted in a min 6 yards added carry.
DELIVERY, PRICING and other stuff......
At this time, both heads will be retailing for $169.00. Granted a few
bucks higher than some...but these are both extremely expensive heads to
manufacture.
Pre-book on both is $139.00.
However......
I am expecting delivery of about 20 of the Renegades on Monday (9* and
10.5*).....I would LOVE to get these in the hands of someof you who will play,
test and REVIEW it (good bad or otherwise).
If you are willing to do so...and bearing in mind the low spin numbers (since
we'll only have 9 and 10.5), we'll sell these from Mondays delivery for
$129....no delivery charge in the CONUS.
This should be a very good year for TourSwing....and the component industry.
Aside from these two new drivers....TourSwing has a couple Champions players using their drivers....a top PGA (5+ time winner) close to agreeing to use their shafts after seeing a 20 yard increase.
Oh, speaking of shafts....
TourSwing will be introducing two new shafts under the new the new "AVENGER" banner.
I have samples of two of their future releases in my shop...profiled them and these are both incredible.
Remember the old Mercury shafts that guaranteed a deflection of no MORE than 1 cpm stated flex on a sticker, regardless of orientation?
These do the same.....Now imagine that kind of consistency with a shaft that provides feel...and kick! At realistic prices.
I honestly don't know if TourSwing has some long term agenda....you know, how Infiniti announced assembled prices only for 2008...but don't care what shaft....or Geek Golf who is offering assembled products with Aldila shafts.
If you think about it, TourSwing could do the same thing...with all product designed by them....Hell, theres not even a OEM that actually designs and manufactures their own heads and shafts.
Ok...so now that I thread jacked my OWN post with the shafts...let me make an additional offer...
Anyone who pre-books an X-plode or Renegade head, will be allowed to but an existing line or future line of a TOurSwing shaft...from us, at 20% off.
