And as being a former staff professional for TM, I have been to the Kingdom and seen some of the tour stuff.....(not going to see most of it on the shelves of the local pro shop any time soon!!!) The tour issued R7 TP 425 drivers that I had were not all that different from the TP versions sold in the store, aside from the shaft options and the work that was done to the driver head by the tour department at TM. They messed with the loft and the amount that the driver was bent open. That is the major difference is the fact that they adjust the driver to the users specs...whereas the driver you buy in the store is what it is, until you get it fixed.....If you know what your specs are and you can find a club or driver that is fit to those specs tour or not......it will work better than the traditional off the rack standard specs....(unless you fit in that category of a standard spec guy or girl)......

I have a retail TP with the "stock" Rombax 75 shaft. Played it almost all of last year. Looks beautiful (to me, anyway), plenty long, plenty straight, plenty forgiving. And doesn't sound like a tin can. I just bought a Tour head in the same loft. Haven't shafted it yet but it sure looks more open than the retail which, for me, can only be a good thing. We'll see.

I too am a slave to the "TOUR ISSUE" sort of stuff. I doubt that it is what I should have in my bag, but the aura of it always intrigues me. It is also great that you were able to meet the pro and get all the goodies on the set-up, face angle and such. I too have a Tour Issue R7 425TP in the bag and one day, when I get a driver swing back, it'll probably live up to its reputation. Thanks for the great story. LaMont in AZ Awesome story!
