Plus...Adams A Tour Black 3-W, R9 13*, Fast 10 low Tour 5w & more

Let me start by saying thank you looking. I am really looking to get some quick money to keep my head above water after all the X-Mas shopping drained me pretty good. I am willing to be flexible on price, but really dont need any equipment back as I build custom clubs for a living. Really would have to be rare tour issue stuff in mint condition... or Byron Putters are my soft spot right now. I am open to all reasonable cash offers and happy to answer any questions, both general and specific about certain clubs. As always....trying to bring the goods, so enjoy!

First up are a beautiful set of Ping s56s, 3-W. Black Dot, retail heads. Built these for myself but not sure if I am going to game them, I am pretty loyal to my current brand of Irons. Basically this is a feeler sale. I figure if somebody wants them before it stops raining in So Cal, I'll sell them... else I am taking em out as try to make up for a lost week of golfing!! The stock shafts were pulled and replaced with Nippon 2F15 Prototypes, which are basically tricked out 1150gh's that play with a little less spin. They are mildly counter balanced and have fantastic feel to them. Very hard to find. Heads have never hit a ball, and these babys were built with the utmost care. Custom Ferrules in Red, Black and White, that despite looking weird in the pics have been meticulously finished. Lamkin Midsize Perma Wrap Grips, but I can change these out for an interested buyer. These can play at 1/2" long if the 5i is extended 1/2", or can be cut to standard too. Standard lie. Swing weight is D4 Asking.........$1100

Next is a 9/10 condition set of Adams Pro Gold A Tour Blacks, 3-W. If your not familiar these are the same tour issue model that Tom Watson plays, or was playing for a while, including his magical run at Turnberry. They are really great sticks. I played them for 3 rounds. They look like a blade from address and have very minimal offset, but they feel more like a cavity back with forgiveness when played. The A Tour Blacks are the harder to find tour model, a red version (refers to the writing on the hosel) was a limited release to the public to commemorate Watson's play that year. Shafted with somewhat rare S100 Dynamic Gold Tour Issue's, which are the same as S400's but a few grams lighter. New Iomic Sticky grips, black with Red Cap. Asking $475 obo

On to FW's! First up I have a brand new R9 13* 3 wood. Retail head. I was going to add this to the long line of 13* heads I have yet to find success with but keeping searching anyway, until I was kicked down an Adams F11 that I am going to roll with for now. I thought somebody might appreciate this in the mean time. Shafted with a tour only TP graphics Motore Speeder 7.0 x flex. Plays at 43.5. Has a golf pride tour velvet. Asking $225 OBO - I also I have a Tour only TP graphics PX 8A4, or RIP Beta 70x I might be willing to swap out for the right price

Next is a Cally FT-IZ 5 wood. The head was tour issue, and was lying around for a while. I built it up recently for a customer who I was doing a personal fitting for and demo session with. Probably hit 10 balls at most. Shafted with a Miyazaki Kusala Blue 61g Stiff. The shaft was straight install, no tipping. It is the middle of the 3 Kusala profiles, but is really a pretty stout shaft low spin shaft even in the 61g which is why it was not tipped. Ideal for a 95-100mph swing range. Plays at 41.5" Very Long and Very Straight.... you just have to be comfortable with the look of the IZ heads. Asking $200

Also... same deal, built for fitting session, maybe seen 15 balls total, Adams Tour Only Low Launch Fast 10- 5 wood, 18*, built with a Fuji Rombax F series 70g Stiff. Plays at 41.5" Very sick combo. The active tip of the Rombax F helps launch the ball while the lower spinning, weight forward design of the Adams Fast 10 hybrid/Fw keeps the ball on a nice flat trajectory. Easy as a hybrid to hit off the deck but has much more the feel of a fairway wood with the lighter, more active shaft. The tour issue Fast 10 head are almost identical to the 9033F prototype if you have seen or played it. The face is about 1-1.5 degrees open.. Very solid, mint condition club. Has blue with yellow cap Iomic on it. Asking $175 obo....

Finally, bit more of a players 3w, This is from my experiments with every TEE after the 5w became the "never leaving my bag" club. This is the original CB1, 15*, shafted with a Graphite Design Tour AD DI 7s, plays at 43". Real nice low launch, low spin, tour trajectory type 3 wood. Ball just smokes comin' off the face. Probably best for someone on the upper end of playing Stiff flex. I was hitting this and I play X flex, but found the extra kick made this thing a bomber, just not as consistently straight as I need from a 3w. Great condition for this head, and AD DI was only in one previous club. Asking $170 obo
