I believe they're made with tighter tolerances, therefore taking longer to produce each club head/shaft/whatever, and the price goes up from there. Quality is definitely gonna be better, but only really noticeable by a very small percentage of golfers.

I'd say in TaylorMade case the specs and tolerances are much more accurate then retail version...I think you're getting more accurate specs. i.e. You can hold to if the same retail drivers next to each other and visually see one head opened or closed more than other. A Tour Issue head has exact specs written on head.
