Compare to TaylorMade it's very hard to get tour issued items of other brand.

The one I more concern is the Titleist.

Any idea why? Is that the Titleist staff pros has to return the club if they don't want it?

I think TM has a gizillion more players on it's books than Titleist at this stage. :D

Maybe Titleist are better at speccing a player's clubs for them, so they don't have any leftovers...Might also be the aggressive way that TM are going after tour players, so they always have a bunch of stuff made for tryouts. You'll notice though, how many non TM sponsored players, play a TM driver. Not many non-Titleist staffers play a Titleist driver.

Good question though ALo. I do see some occasional Titleist tour stuff go through other forums, but not very often..

maybe becoz Titleist don't have that many Tour-Spec clubs available?!?!?

most of the pros uses pretty much "off-the-rack" iron sets, built to their specs...
the 983K is pretty much standard, wedges are pretty much standard...

the only Tour Specs titleist are the Scottys...and I've seen a BP online for 1499USD... :roll:




TM is going abt this very cleverly IMO...
they know what they're doing, and credit where credit is due...
