Damn man you're like an elephant - 3 years ago - before I actually knew it all. Nice try though and thanks for the nostalgia 😂

 

I've since posted thousands of times on here so feel free to brush up since 2021:

For what it's worth all the Tour heads have been limited releases in Japan in the last few years. Might be worth checking out the Callaway Japan website every now and again.

Any updates on this?

Does anyone know the average weight on the triple diamond heads?  I originally bought the ai smoke max and it's super light.  weighs in at 184 grams.

Hopefully soon and not a limited release at certain account holders.  TXG mentioned it briefly in their video today about it maybe being available in the future.

That would be great.

Trying to create my own version of this guy. Got a head built for the standard length and cut it down 3/4 inch. The head ended up being very light so I got some different fixed weights to experiment. So far a 6 gram in the front with the standard movable at 14g. Might try a 10g up front and get a lighter movable weight. Using the new Ventus Blue + in 6x. Should be a fun experiment.

I'm currently using the same shaft in a ♦♦♦ head at 45". Swingweight was very light at this length, so I have a 9g weight up front and 14g in the back. I've had some of my best driving days in the short time I've been using this setup.

There were some posters saying they had a similar problem with very low head weight with their smoke max drivers, and callaway customer service replaced for free.  It seems like a defect rather than the expected weight.

I have a TRIPLE DIAMOND MAX 10.5 head. Can anyone tell me what they think it’s worth? Obviously TC serial number.

800-1200 I'd dare say depending on condition.  My head pro has one as well.  Rumors have them becoming more readily available by summer.

Finally got a round in with this driver on a course I know well. Hit 3 amazing tee shots that were the longest I've ever hit there. Low spin and pretty high launch. I may have to get my hands on a 7 or 8 gram weight because it still feels a little light. Hit only 1 bad drive with it which was 100 me trying to kill one.

This absolutely echoes my experience. 11 days later and I've hit some unbelievably long drives with this setup. I don't even know what to say. I've measured a few of the longer ones with the GPS on The Grint app and have drives of 342, 333, 324, 318 and 312. And those were just the ones that I remembered to measure. Two of those were last weekend, only days after the course got 7" of rain. I honestly don't have the swingspeed to be putting up those kinds of numbers, so there's some sort of voodoo magic going on in this club.

It's the standard ai smoke max with a heavier front weight.

I've got the Ai Smoke Triple Diamond with a 14g weight in the back and a 9g weight in the front. Ventus Velocore+ 6X shaft playing right at 45". It's just a monster.

That’s awesome, I might order this combo myself, if the 💎💎💎 Max gets released I will purchase it as well. Thank you guys for the information @tigercolt77

A limited release of the TD Max, TD S, and a fairway wood should be in mid to late May 2024 at select accounts as always.

I heard summer as in June/July from my head pro who's had the TD MAX for awhile but I'm good with next month.

What I was told could be an early in hand date or some such. June sounds like a happy medium between what we're all being told.

That seller is on crack to even put it up for 3k.  Nobody in their right mind is gonna pay that much for one knowing that there's a really strong possibility it will hit retail in a few months.

I'm actually surprised the 'usual suspects' on ebay dont have a ton of tour issue wood heads for sale by now like they usually do. I see subpargolf has a few heads but thats it. Maybe Callaway is finally cracking down on their truck employees giving them away to friends at the start of each season.

Looks like they’re comin. Someone just posted one on FB for 1250.

I’m thinking the fairway will be that 340cc Mini driver that Xander was testing. Someone posted the serial # on his tester was retail.  Anyone know if the S model will be 420cc like last year?

That's more in line with what a specialized TC serial Cally head would go for on the market.
