New guy here!

 

I just got these Titleist Tour Model irons back today, they use to be my dads and I never found out what year model, I have researched and I believe they are around 1986-1991 year models but I have no clue.

Thanks, and yes I did. I want to find out the lofts of these irons so I can match with my vokey wedges.

[procombo]

U could check the historical clubs section on the titleist site. There must be some info over there. I dont have the url here but look for historical clubs and titleist and you will get there. Good luck.

sorry I was rude, I actually like them more everytime I look at them. The 681's are amazing like you said.

[stt1118]

Anybody have any idea about grind #20 or #29. New to the forums. I love my old blades and found this thread. Great pics guys. I currently play mizuno mp 29's and have a set of 681 t stamps in my closet in the original box. I will do my best to get some pics up at some point. I just ask about the #20 or #29 as I have seen them up for sale and was just curious about any info you guys mights have on them. Are those Lehman grinds still for sale Adam?

[addamsmith]

this is my 1st post on wrx so i would like to say hello to every body. i was wondering if anyone could tell me about the set if irons i have ( see pic's ) i got about 10 year ago from a guy who worked for titleist a long time on there tour van or what ever they used then. he told me that they were one offs made for a tour player but i can't remember anything else i didn't pay for them just gave him a cigar. he regripped them and gave them to me as a gift. can some one tell me what they are or anything about him.

[procombo]

Hi Chris and :) to golfwrx.

 

Well those babies look awsome. Holy crapperoo! I never saw them before, but maybe some of the other guys do. Adam, pegleg?

 

Cheers Marco

[addamsmith]

Hi Chris

Looks like around a mid to late 90s model.

Do they have rings around the Hosel?

Can you post a few pics of them in the bag.

Cheers and welcome mate to golfwrx

Addam

[Chris_u]

here some more pic's. anybody know anything more about them. and thanks for the comments

[addamsmith]

Thanks for the pics Chris

I see no rings on hosel.

Send me the serial number on the ferul. also what shaft is in them?

Addam

[koolmanntx]

Hey Addam, can you tell me what year these Tour Model irons could be, they have 2 rings on the hosel and I will get more pictures as soon as they get back from being re-shafted. Ferrule number on old shafts ( 16651 ).

 

[addamsmith]

Hi Kool

Bullet Back Tour Model

They are the 1986-1990 Model.

In 86/89 they had Diamonds in the face and then in late 89/90 they had just grooves with no diamonds on the face.

Do your ones have Diamonds?

In 1986 this model was available in the satin as well.

The next Model was almost the same but no Bullet back Titleist Tour Model 1991-97

Great pics

Thanks for sharing them with us

Addam

[koolmanntx]

I do not remember any diamonds on the face, but should have the set back tomorrow, main thing for me is to try and match the lofts with what titleist has on there web site, I may end up buying a loft gauge from golfsmith.

[Mr Titleist]

Has anyone ever seen another set of those Tiger Miuras apart from the 127/500 set? Every picture I see of those irons is that set and whilst those are some sexy irons I know that set has been recromed.

Hi, I don't understand which set ur talking about. Do u mean the 681 T-Stamp set or another one? Or do u mean pics of another set besides the one numbered 127/500?

There should be a fellow WRX'er somewhere with a pic of the ltd edition set :tongue: , maybe JHR?

[Mr Titleist]

I am on about these...

 

Tiger Miuras

[C_Money]

I said i didnt like these before but they grew on me. I love them all.

[leftypga]

I know these aren't custom grinds but I figured the lefties needed some kind of a showing here in this post. I'm not sure when these were made. Every left handed set of Tour Models that I've seen look similar to these, except for slightly different grinds (and the cool custom finish). Does anyone have some info on these? Were they the only Tour Models made in LH or were there others?

 

 

there are some other views of the 6 iron in my witb post.

Hi Adam,

 

Do you know what difference the bullet back makes? (Tour Model 86-91 as opposed to 91-97).

 

Is it a performance thing or is it to take out a bit of weight from the head?

 

Cheers,

 

Simon

[addamsmith]

Hi Simon

The Bullet Backs and the Later model Tour Irons are nearly identical to hit. I have had both models and played both models over the years and the heads at address you can't tell the difference between them except the early Bullet backs had the diamonds in the face near the grooves.

Also the early model Bullet Backs had Dynamic shafts and not Dynamic Gold shafts in them so the ball flight was a little higher.

If you had a set of say 91 model bullet backs with no diamonds with Dynamic Golds and a set of 97's with Dynamic golds it would be almost impossible to tell them apart except for the bullet back muscle in the earlier clubs.

Addam

[m.b.klein]

Does anybody know, if custom grind irons are still available through special order. I'm still hitting nothing better than the 681 irons, but they are pretty worn. I'm thinking about buying a set of Wilson FG 59, because they also seem to have a pretty high muscle to keep the ballflight down.

 

BTW does anybody have pictures of Davis Love's Proto irons from 1998. I think they were called DCI blade or Titleist 682. I saw them live in the 1998 Tour Championship and they had quite a narrow sole. A nice looking iron and I'd like to see them again.

 

Thanks

[D.Fresh]

Man, I consider myself a Titleist guy (670's in the bag for about 6 years now) - but I've never seen anything like these before! How cool. Where do you go about finding sets like this, besides eBay?

[treadwej]

It also does not include true "Tour Only" forgings, notably the Forged DCI-B. (The forged version of the original DCI cavity back, before the 962s).

 

pegleg,

 

question regarding this statement from much earlier this year...

 

I had never heard of the DCI-B being forged. I played this set for a number of years, and still have them. I always thought they were cast. The titleist website has nothing on it, but why do you say they were forged? is there something on them that indicates whether they were a forged or cast set?

 

thanks in advance
