The worst they could do is refund you and cancel the order. It appears to be sold directly by Amazon. I haven't purchased much through them, so I don't know how they handle issues like this. You aren't spending my money so I say go for it!

They have all lofts listed in stiff and regular besides the 11.5 model.

Good luck. I am extremely tempted to buy one just to turn it for a small profit, but I don't know if I feel right about it. Plus, I don't want to risk my marriage on another driver purchase. I hope you guys get your sticks and they work out well. The standard Razr Fit is excellent, so I would imagine this will follow that trend.

[radiman]

I saw that, it wouldn't let me select anything. But I just went there again, and it will let me change it now. I need to quit visiting that page. Temptation is creeping in.

Default swingweight is D5. The regular version is D6/D8. Is this a smaller driver head?
[/quote]

Or shorter shaft reducing swingweight

You guys amaze me. How in the world did you stumble scores this driver preorder on amazon???
[/quote]
I was looking to reduce the cost by using some points looking at Razr X and Razr fit and there it was in the search results $366.00 net ot me after points $225 couldn't pass. If I don't like it I'm sure I can get rid of it. I doubt I won't like it Cally has been my driver of choice for the last 10 years or so. So ther eyou have it. I guess I was lucky. Gonna go buy some Mega Millions tickets tomorrow.
[/quote]

I'm right there with you man, I ordered a 8.5 for the same price. I was prepared to spend $200 more for this driver actually. I have never bought anything from amazon so I hope that we don't get scammed...
[/quote]
I don't think they scam, as said before worst that can happen is a mistake and we get a refund. I don;t even think they will charge a CC until it ships. I have never ordered there before but my son does all the time. Never an issue.

[TheMoneyShot]

Good or maybe we luck out and get the club super cheap because of their initial listing error. If we get this club cheaper than the regular models talk about a score!

[mattr]

amazon is top notch! you will definitely not have any issues with them.
been using them in germany for years

Great news, thanks!

[south_side_lefty]

Checked Amazon, everything looks good except...

They're selling the RH model only.

Most of you will never understand how frustrating the BUSINESS of this game can be.

[JoshRH]

Amazon is way to large of a company to be scamming people. If you all get this club at the $366 price though I will be extremely sorry I did not pull the trigger. My guess is that you will get a phone call or email about the item being listed incorrectly.

[is1ander]

Holy cow, what a find. Thanks, guys. Early Christmas for everryyyoneee.

Or maybe they will just eat crow and sell it to the early buyers for this price???

Read it again, six setting in the hosel vs three currently available.

[VinceRKG]

Pretty heavy at 325 static weight isnt it? How heavy is the R11 and RBZ clubs?

And it is the 100% real deal PX Black, .335 tip.

[chpar453]

Hey lets juzt keep this secret to ourselves.

[chpar453]

Gonna have to change the grip. Only ugly thing about it.

[Jimmie48]

No X flexes?

[Bell_Hidden_Creek]

Just got one. Hope it is the real deal. Worth the chance to find out.

Well guys, here's my BIG UPDATE:

 

Just got done holding, fondling and photoing the one and only Tour Authentic RAZR Fit outside of Carlsbad! I also had the distinct honor of meeting Dr. Alan Hocknell, the head of Callaway Golfs R&D Department, a very nice and intelligent gentleman indeed.

 

First, before everyone starts yelling at me for not posting pics, I gave Dr. Hocknell my word that I would not post the pics until he gave me the thumps up, which I anticipate being sometime early next week. Second, the prototype that Dr. Hocknell had with him was not one he was willing to let anyone hit just yet, I'm not sure why that was the case, but I decided not to question the good doctors reason on that one.

 

OK, let's talk looks first... In one word... SWEET! The crown is the same gloss black as current Fit, not matte as was speculated. The face is also black, not the dark flat black of the R11, but more a softer black, similar to last years Diablo Octane Tour Black. The paint on the sole is indeed green, a deep bright green that is, brighter than the marketing materials posted here may lead you to believe. The nine way hosel looks amazingly good! Not at all bulky, in fact muclh cleaner than the Titleist 910 in my opinion. The head cover is different from the Fit as well, it's magnetic, has no sleeve and is not nearly as bulky.

 

As far as tech specs go, here's what I got from my short conversation with Dr. Hocknell. The head is technically the same specs as the current FIT. The difference with TA is the additional adjustability of the weight kit and hosel. However the was a brief mention of higher tolerances with the TA. The shaft is indeed a real Project X Black, he did not mention what flexes are available. I asked specifically again if the head was a lower spin version of the original Fit, and again his answer was, "no, however the PX Black shaft should bring the spin down for many players when compared to the stock RIP NV." Dr. Hocknell also mentioned that they were aware that the PX Black shaft wasn't the lowest launching/spinning shaft on the market, but much like the RIP NV used in the original Fit, "it's designed to fit a larger group of players."

 

I can tell you this, the club looks good, I mean really good... Stealthy, clean and sexy if you will! The only color other than black that can be seen from address is the green on the grip, and of course that is easily rectified if you so desire. The good doctor also mentioned the TA Fit will be a limited run of 6000, not a super small batch, but not a huge one either. He wasn't sure of the exact launch date off the top of his head, but early May is what he recalled. He also believed retails would begin taking preorders as early as Monday April 2.

 

I'm sorry if I missed any information here, but I'm typing this while in a hurry, so please feel free to fire questions at me, I'll happily answer them as promptly as possible. Also, I will post the few pictures I snapped as soon as I receive the go ahead.

 

That's all for now!

[ZAP]

Now i was secretly hoping they would not make this in left hand. Guess I will start saving now.

Thanks G for clearing up so many questions we had...
