What is the most "tour issue" club of all time?

Amino Vital towel. This started the whole “tour sauce” movement. Throw in the “poser” word and the force was strong with this, even before staff bags.

 

We’ve all seen it. Amino Vital towel, staff bag, head-to-toe in Nike,Adidas, Puma or UA. First tee....cold top and ball hits the next tee marker, bounces backwards over the tee box and breaks the clubhouse dining room window. Good times.

I think it was called the R7 SuperQuad 282

 

Still an absolute bomber, I have 4 of them kicking around. Two are mint 8.5s the others are 10.5s. I had one bent to 7 degrees, 3open and 56 lie angle. Very low spin driver with fantastic looks and sound. Still game them a few times a year. One of taylormade's best heads.

Back in the day I saw a 300 Tour "Holy Grail" head sell for $1400 on Ebay. The buyer was a member of OG Golfopinions.com. He proclaimed that the $1400 was a "bargain". The DF heads I recall going for $900 plus for awhile. Ah the good ole days. The 300 Tour was definitlely way better than anything that was out there.

I gotta go with 510df, that to me started the whole tour issue thing

 

I did get a TI driver at one time ... 580 xd tp IIRC, but I hooked it off the planet. Must have had loads of hot melt in the heel. And it wasn't just me, even my +3 buddy couldn't hit it straight. Too bad as the feel was exceptional.

I'm a Cleveland guy, so I have to put the CG7 and 588 Tour Concepts out there. Great irons to begin with, but more compact and less offset in the Tour Concepts. Would love to put my hands on a set someday...

Another Vote for the 300 Tour. It may not have been the rarest but I still feel that it changed the driver game.

 

Titleist 970 was another

Cobra GravityBack Tour Irons Non offset. Only 50 sets made qualifies here. I have the whole set 1 through PW.

The original TM R-9 TP Bs were originally not labeled B's they had no identifying mark and they were made for Tour and some notable "players". I was one of those who was sent a set. Great clubs but the word got out and they eventually made 1800 sets and labeled them as a B. I had my 6 iron stolen at the end of a trip to Ireland. I called TM and I found a new 6 iron waiting for me upon my return spec'd perfectly for me with my shaft. The only difference was that club was stamped B.

The TM 300 Tour was a great club but I struggled with consistency. I won a long Drive hole with a drive of 295 back when it first came out and that was long then and I have never been what anyone would call long. I still have that club somewhere around here.

Another is the Bobby Jones by Jesse Ortiz Workshop driver tour prototype. (It predates the "workshop" designation and has no medallion.) I used that club for some of the best rounds of my life over a 4-5 year period a decade ago. I had three commercial versions and none of them were as perfect as that club. I could hit it down a hallway in the dark! It has a special spot in club room number 1.

The original TM 510 DF was a real game changer. TM 200 Duffy fairway woods or the TM HFS versons. Adams Peanut hybrids. TM 300 forged Lehman grinds as far as irons go. Wedges? How about the Cleveland 588 Tour Satins, or any of the satin Vokey "Tour Proto" offerings? Putters have to go to the Circle Ts.

i have a set of tmade burner 2.0 b iron heads with zero offset as well. i think 20 sets made world wide

 

I think there were more than 20 sets made but still a great club. I had two sets of them and my buddy won the US Sr. Am with them in his bag.

 

Probably like many others have said the 300 driver. That and the 200 smoothie were the $hit back in the day. Titleist 503i is at the top of the list as well.

The Titleist 970 FW. This is the one that Tiger used as his 3 wood in his prime. Very hard to get then...and very hard to get now.

Titleist 990 (3-PW) with stock Dynamic Gold in S300
Taylormade V-Steel 5W & 3W with Grafalloy Prolaunch Red shafts (Regular Flex)

this thread is great, and so timely.

 

i literally just found a near mint condition V-steel paintbreak 5wd at my local 2nd swing. immediately had to take that bad boy home.

 

another classic may be the original x-tour driving iron from callaway. basically looked like a beefed up version of the original x-tour forged irons that Phil had when he first came to callaway.

Going back to circa 1990, J's Professional Weapon. The name of the shaft escapes me -- Harmonized or something like that? But Harmonized was a Wilson term so I don't think this is right.

 

That club eventually found its way to many amateur bags, with predictable (read: POOR!) results. That said, In the hands of a real player, that driver made a difference!

Adaptive Golf.....look out for the one-armed man:

  Ping G425 Max Driver, 5W, 7W....+2"

  PXG 0211 hybrids, 25*, 28*, 31*….+2”

  PXG 0211 8i - SW….+3” or Sub70 699 8i - SW….+4”

Any pics of that Bobby Jones driver?
