Neil, I don't disagree with you. I think we are not understanding each other very well, so I will restate my thoughts. First of all, I have owned dozens of tour clubs, and yes, many are obviously different. The TM 200 Tour FW Woods were definitely way different from the retail models, the 300 Tour and R500 drivers were night and day compared to their retail counterparts, just to name a few of the more famous examples. In both cases, they were prototypes of new technology that found their ways into later TM retail models. Yes, I would not be surprised if the pros are always one step ahead of us in playing prototype balls as well as clubs. I thought you were implying or stating that this technology would never see the light of day at the retail level. Of course it will. The Super Duper ProV1 will hit the shelves in due time.

I totally agree with you-but "we"will always be one step behind
