Tour Issue Rescue

The seller says that this is a Tour Issue Rescue. He says that Tour Issue Rescues do not have a TP logo on the toe. He also says that it has a rifle 5.5 Shaft.

I think its not a tour Issue because my Rescue Mid TP is tour issue and it has a TP logo on the toe.

Also, unless this club is from the Senior, or the LPGA, I can't think of a Tour Pro with a 5.5 shaft in any of their clubs.

It's most likely a tour issue club. I have a similar one in 16* loft. Note the 'FW' designation next to the '2' on the sole. Tour preferred models (and perhaps some tour issues) have the toe logo (TP flag). The tour issues I've seen do not have the flag logo on the toe, only the 'FW' next to the number on the sole.

Regarding the shaft, it is possible that this club has been re-shafted somewhere along the line. Mine has a Fuji 904H in X flex, but I'm not sure it is the original shaft.

definitely NOT a tour club.... just the standard stock rescue

Depends how old the head is, protos and 1st gen. tps had no logo, and not all were printed fw, that came later, to up tm's fairway wood count.

Original r7 tps had no logo either.

I would suggest you ask the condition of the club if it is new or nearly new I would think there is little chance of it being anything other than a stock club or perhaps a tour make up.

Probably tour issue. I have a 19* Tour issue (good source)... no serial 3FW on the sole... no TP flags.

That is a tour issue club. As stated previously if it has 2fw and no tp it is tour

The giveaway is whether or not it has a serial number. I have had several Rescue Tours, and none that I had had a TP flag on the toe. None of them had a serial number either. I know there are some new ones that have the flags on teh toe, but still should not have a serial number on the hosel. You can have a retail Rescue TP refinished and it will not have the flag on the toe anymore, because the company that does the refinishing for TM can't silkscreen that flag onto the toe. But a refinished retail TP will still have a serial number!
