on his BBA, the +2 on the hosel, that a closed club face? Anyone know what those settings are

The other ring is for neutral or closed face.

Is not the loft changed by FA adjustment, so they are both FA changes, works like the Titleist surefit adaptor

I swear more pro's use a low bounce K lob wedge yet we get no low-bounce K option for the 56° an nothing below 10° for the 60°. What gives?

Did he like sand grind the bottom of the putter or is that lead tape?
[/quote]

I was kind of wondering this also. I know he had a "raw" Black Series putter before this one, so I didn't know if he was going for a similar effect on this one.

does he play his irons a degree strong? I would think traditional lofts, seems like he's got a pw, 54, 60.

2 questions

The cally staffers, i know the proto's are supposed to be close or the same to the Razr MB's, why do they all play the proto's, do they have heavy heads in the protos? Do the proto's have fewer grooves cut into the face?

Do Colsaerts, really play his driver @ 45.5" they it sits in the bag it sure looks longer than his 3w

I wonder if the Pro 3W has the Chevron crown?

I like the entire setup.

BB Pro doesn't have a cheveron logo on the crown the non pro does.

His settings are neutral +2° of loft, he'd have to put it in the D position to close the face but he does have the weight positioned to fade bias.

He plays at 45.5 like a normal sized human would play a 44.5. Big guys need longer clubs. Sweet bag. Cant wait to see the BB in person as I am a huge FT tour guy and loved the looks.

I'm still going between my Razr Hawk Tour Prototype (same as FT Tour) & Big Bertha Alpha drivers while testing. I'll get up some comparison pictures up when I get back from my clubmaker to make a few adjustments before heading back down to Tampa. I never thought I'd say this but my RHTP & BBA look almost exactly the same even though it's slightly larger you really can't tell, I'd be in heaven if they made on with a hosel. Didn't think the BBA would knockout my RHTP but it is I think. The BBA has a solid feel & same HCG setup/loft as my RHTP, surprisingly I've added ball speed/distance as well as they hide the extra 20cc pretty well because from looking down at the 2 they look almost exactly the same, the BBA has more forgiveness but I am still a old school glued hosel guy but if your a huge FT Tour fan as I am (RHTP) you'll love the BBA, looks so close to it. When I get home Jimmie I'll post comparison shots looking down on them.

so, there is a BBA pro 8.5 version? I need lower loft and just ordered one of these! Is the 8.5 going to come to retail?[/quote]

I've got 2 BBA drivers I've been hitting one is the 8.5° Pro & the other is the 9°, there's no difference to my knowledge or to the eye as they both look exactly the same with the same settings. I think they're just the earlier released ones as my 9° has the TC serial & the 8.5° doesn't have one which were both called "PRO" on the slips. Besides playing it at the -1 position you can always use the Gravity Core to adjust loft not just spin, to my knowledge I've gotten from the Callaway guys you can change the ball flight by using the GC without changing the loft. I doubt .5° will make that much difference once you dial it in, I have been hitting the 9° since it's almost to the exact specs of my RHTP HCG gamer & love it especially playing around with the GC. Like I said I think they're just early heads as mine look exactly the same & slip said "PRO" for both, I think if they were different it'd be like last year Pro models no alignment on crown non-pro heads had alignment & graphics. Woulnt worry about it, both the same & only my 9° has TC number. I've had them for about 3 weeks. I'm betting it's just am earlier model as both look the exact same & slips says pro just not on the hosel, mines covered up anyways I with my "Hom Bomb" GolfDotz logo anyways. Plus I got the 9° to set up easier to match my 8.5° RHTP & with the added forgiveness & distance, I'm 99% sure you can say "Just Throw it in the Bag".
