what does $900 get you with this driver that $400 doesn't get you with the other r1 drivers?

Hopefully a "happy ending"!

Motore Speeder Tour Spec 7.2....no upcharge. Misprint?

Apparently not a misprint. I created one on their site and added it to the cart. The price remained $499.

DI and motore tour spec as upgrades!!! About time

[sheppy335]

Ok is it the same as the R11 with the TP and Super TP differences are only the shaft?

The Super TP offers you the chance to lose even more money when they are replaced by the Really Super TP in 3 month's time.
[/quote]

Haha! That alone made me postpone taking my anxiety meds today. Much obliged!

[GitarooJack]

I'll just stick to the R9 Supertri TP I got on the 'bay for 50 bucks, thank you very much...

[Doc Mcstuffins]

Can you imagine what a tour issue Super TP would run you? Hol-eeee cow!

i went on there too - insane.... JUMP ON IT!!!!!!! LOL!

[scratchswinger]

I will be interested to see if the orders for the Tour Specs get filled for the $499 price. Will this turn into a Golfsmith debacle?

Wow! So the only difference is the shaft? The head is exactly the same? For $500 more, you would think they'd put a "Super TP" sticker on it.
[/quote]

from what i can tell it comes with a kiyoshi white, so when you go to get fitted just make sure that's not the shaft that works best for you
[/quote]

I got to hit it down in Naples. Its a heck of a shaft and looks amazing in the R1, very piercing ball flight. But i dont have $900 to blow and i doubt TM will be sending me one to try out. but a guy can hope right?

I'd say this will be for the Dr at the country club who needs to one up everyone. and one up them he shall
[/quote]

He will be one upping from the rough like he would be with any other driver because he can't play enough because of his profession

Caesar- is it a standard Oban White or something different than the one that retails for $300?
[/quote]

What we hit was a special oban white,[b] Sean said the shaft was $800,[/b] now i dont know if i miss understood him and he meant it was all $800, but i remember $800 being thrown around. It had a very impressive case it came in. I assume this is what the Super TP is because we were talking about its availability
[/quote]

So, I'm gonna buy one then sell the shaft for $800. $100 for a new SUPA TP R1 head!!!!!!!

Now I can put an actually GOOD shaft in it!

BT

[jdepyper]

if the difference is truly only because of the shaft, then this is the biggest scam going on right now.

[whiteout73]

Yeah, I keep trying to find some other difference listed on the TM website, but it truly appears that the only difference is the shaft. Wow, that's insane. Slightly less insane than the $1000 Ram driver from the late 90's (anyone remember that one?), but still insane.

[chiguy]

So say the head is in fact different. Is there really anything they can do to it to warrant THAT much of an upcharge?

found it.... Super Deep comes with Shaft: OBAN Kiyoshi White any other custom shafts are either included in the $499.00 price or come with a $100.00 upcharge....
The OBAN Kiyoshi White is running around 650-700 For the shaft alone...

This is the reason for the upcharge, you would think they would just include it in the TP Offerings!!! But TMAG is the master of Marketing!!!

Yes, that is the Super TP R1.........
BUT it appears from some above you can actually order the R1 TP with the OBAN Kiyoshi White WITH NO UPCHARGE!

[jtudhsnae]

A few years back, TM came out with a $1000 driver package.
Ate least it included 3 shafts with it.

[quote name='swanry30' timestamp='1357315021' post='6166955']
can anyone else speak to this? just the kiyoshi white or is this a different head. i saw already that there is a smaller footprint r1 at 440cc - not available to retail (at least that was what i thought....)
[/quote]

Why don't they just offer a smaller model, titliest and cally seem to be able too

[cgbm]

This world is going to crap. Cutting our pay. Taxing way more. And charging more for products. Soon ill be homeless with a full time job

[drbonesvt]

I thought it was my ipad, but why in the hell does the "specs" button not work. Thought the super R1 might be smaller CC etc?

So if it's shorter front to back, but deeper (assuming same or very similar cc's) then I would assume that would be a lower spinning head? Man, a low spin head with a Kiyoshi White? Who is going to keep that thing airborne?

V2 is just the Tour Version of the R1 (Not Super TP)... The R1 that is in retail is a completely different design then what is being played on tour, as shown clearly in the pic.
