So what's the deal with tour issue clubs? Are they really "hotter" than retail clubs? Other than having slightly open face angles, a "+" sign on the hosel and a loft that doesn't exactly match what is printed on club, what's the difference?

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.

It's not a straight answer. There's clubs built specifically for certain guys that are pure one-offs, Callaway for example has a bin of discarded clubs made for Phil some of which are truly one of a kind made just the way he wanted.

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.

Yeah broad topic, but in general, I believe the clubs have a slighter higher COR (hotter face), and custom face angles, loft, and lie. I believe there's very marginal differences between TI and standards. Could be wrong though.

Why are tour issue clubs important?

The reason these tour issue clubs exist in the first place is because OEMs want to make sure that their players under contract are using something that fits them to a tee, along with hoping to have these in the winning bag come Sunday afternoon. It’s way better to have your “guy” playing a prototype that he loves and plays well with, then having him feel like he is compromising and running the risk of not playing his best. We all know confidence in equipment means the same to a tour pro as (if not more than) it does to a 15 handicap.

What is GolfWRX?

GolfWRX was founded with the idea to share these unique clubs and help people see “behind the curtain” when it comes to equipment from every OEM. Whether it be a $4,000 Scotty Cameron 009 that might work just as well as a $150 putter with identical specs, it’s not really about that for “us.” It’s about having something different and unique. Within every group of hobbyists, there are those that seek out the different and rare. From sneakers, to cars, to golf clubs, I’d be completely dishonest if I said the “cool” factor wasn’t part of the what makes these things so interesting in the first place.
