General Help Identifying Tourstage Irons

[wareagle12]

Good evening folks,

I've been looking for some j40/15 irons and perusing ebay I see a lot of tourstage irons that look similar. I've read on here that the 705/707 would be similar. Im not opposed to blades either. I really like the general shape of most of these clubs. Im wanting to make sure I get a comforming set. Is there any good way to identify which year/model these are from and which ones are comforming?

Thanks

The ones in the ebay link, are definitely pre 2010, so I do not think they will have the conforming grooves, I want to say they are circa 2008, but I maybe wrong on that, I am positive though on them being pre 2010

Thank you. Is there anything I can look for in them to determine the model? I know some of them have it on the club, but it seems some just say xblade.

The ebay ones, thats what they were. Tourstage X-blade CB, there was no model number; 701/703/705/707/709, etc. Those on the ebay link I think came outd in 2004 2006 2008 with subtle differences, and again no model numbers.

Ok cool. Thanks for the info.

I've had the Tourstage 701Cbs - nonconforming,

MR23 US Spec CB - also nonconforming

And the TS201 - also...

What a stupid rule.

[wareagle12]

That's great info! Thank you.

 

Agreed. Stupid rule...
