That's beautiful. A+

9.6? Lol.

Can anyone pick up anything that might be causing toe hits and thin shots? My ball striking sucks, and I am convinced I physically can't fix that flying right elbow. Sorry in advance for the vertical video.

I picked driver, although I would more describe it as Driver/3W/Tee clubs. From my perspective, if I can't find a fairway and keep putting myself in bad position/taking penalties off the tee, it doesn't matter if I am putting like Steve Stricker; those putts are to save bogeys or worse. On the contrary, if I am splitting fairways and hitting most of my greens, but can't get anything to go down, I'm still probably only going to be a handful over par at worst.

So...The original seller (eBay user who sold them to the user I bought them from), made the assertion I expected he would...They are "tour issue". And I guess I will admit I believe it. I have shown them to a handful of people who are extremely familiar with Titleist irons, and the consensus seems to be that they are real... @newtogolf , I guess a "custom order" set will lack serial numbers on every club except for the 6 iron, straight off the rack sets will have serial numbers on every iron.... and supposedly "tour issue"...i.e. built on the tour van/ custom built for a team titleist pro on the lower tours/built for a club pro, tend to lack any serial numbers.. @StrayCat ...The clubs came with wrap grips which I can't stand so they will be coming off soon, and I plan to check and see what exactly the initials/dates are on the shafts. Most importantly I guess is the fact that the feel off the face/ball flight/feeling of toe misses and thin shots, is exactly what I remember authentic 712s feeling like when I demo'd then a year or so ago off the rack...So I've come to the conclusion that fake or not (hopefully not haha), they still feel good and produce the shots I expect, so I am happy enough. And can't beat the price, they are practically mint.

Yeah, my head pro is a Titleist rep. I was gonna swing by in the morning. Also called the local club fitter (he's a Top 100 GD Club fitter, pretty sharp guy), but he said without a serial number there wasn't much he could do. Other than a magnet test ? on the AP2, which he said was less reliable with the 712 and 714. I guess the mystery remains open for now. Also, eBay seller referred me to the original seller HE got them from on eBay who in fact made the "tour issue" claim. Waiting for his response.

Visually they match perfectly. They feel right. It's just that damn serial number.

I'm a club ho that buys a new club every few months and sells what I don't keep. These irons were bought off of eBay from another user. He had them listed as "Tour Issue" so assuming that might have to do with the no serial number? I did notice when regripping them that the 8, 6 and 3 irons had initials, a date and serial number toward the top of the shaft. Again I have no idea what that means but you seem to be knowledgeable about this so hoping it helps.

Looking for any club guru's out there? I just bought a split set (3-4 AP2, 5-P MB 712) of Titleist irons on eBay. I scoured over 100s of pictures of authentic irons before bidding, and now that I have the irons in hand, can confirm that by the eye test, these irons pass. BUT.. There are no serial numbers, anywhere. The seller claimed they were a custom set (should have a serial number on every hosel), maybe they were off the rack (should be on the 6 iron). No and no. The only other possibility I am finding online is they were a "tour issue" head...no serial number?? Any help on this would be hugely appreciated. I have contacted the seller but no answer yet (shocking)..next step is contacting PayPal/Titleist counterfeit protection. Any body have any thoughts? I can post some pics.

dying to know how this ended up.. looks like he had a pretty decent look?

If I was making wagers: Masters: DJ US Open: Adam Scott British: Justin Rose PGA: Patrick Reed If I could determine the future: Masters: Tiger US Open: Tiger British: Tiger PGA: Tiger ..how awesome would that be

Patrick Reed has gone from one of my least favorite to one of my favorite golfers in the span of one season... Sure, he shouldn't be spouting slurs and F-bombs, but at least the kid has some balls and a little fire... His top 5 comment came off as cocky and a little entitled, but at least he wants to win and he believes in himself and has a little bit of an F-you attitude...I think he's shown he's more like your typical golfer, at least mentally, than any of us might have originally expected..Maybe golf's popularity, at least in the states, would grow if a few more guys had that intensity on the inside.. He doesn't come off as another Chris Kirk, Harris English, Jim Furyk type country club silver spooner who would offer up a limp finger handshake and who could care less about winning and beating an opponent. Good for him, be a little gritty and go out and beat someone-- The last young American golfer with Reed's fire and intensity was caught more than once cursing himself out on the course as well...14 majors later I think it worked out for him.

whoever it is started out birdie, birdie, birdie...ace. pretty decent stretch

Wow haha what do you do for work? This doesn't look cheap!

Haha yeah that's what I was getting at, not a big gambler so I didn't know how to put that...Increase the odds against you picking correctly/decrease the odds of you picking correctly. Either way I'm getting at you making more money haha. I would have to imagine at least ten fold?! Hitting the score on the nose? 10-15k on a 40 dollar bet? Who knows. You can buy a lot of new drivers with that money haha.

The only odds I found had Kaymer at 40/1. But that is just a straight up pick-em. Calling the winning score must decrease the odds exponentially.

Wow! I just checked on this for the first time since last week. @Valleygolfer you could have made some serious money in Vegas with a pick like that! Player and score?! I wonder what the actual odds/payouts of that bet would have been?

I went last year and followed the Phil, Tiger and Adam group on Friday morning. It was probably the best golf-related experience I've had. And it was PACKED, like 4-5 deep around most tee boxes and greens. But if you plan it out right, and walk ahead and find openings where you can wait until your groups approach you will be fine. It really is something special to see these guys play. The type of experience you want to have really should govern what tickets you buy. If you're looking to get bombed and watch whoever happens be playing your hole, then get the club/box seating (and get your wallet out). If your're looking to see the course, follow specific players and really get an up close and personal view, go with general admission. Either way, if you are a golf fan its awe-inspiring.

1st. Rory McIlroy +1 2nd. Branden Grace +1 3rd. Jamie Donaldson +1

Lol. 2 weeks. I started 5 years ago, have had about 30+ hours of lessons, have hit thousands and thousands of balls, could list about 100 fundamentals for you, and still have a minimal consistency. Most people on this forum could list their numbers at a ten-fold increase of mine, and give you the same answer... still looking for consistency. Golf might require the most time and patience of any game on earth.

@iacas @mvmac or any other of the pros on here, can anyone figure out what I'm doing to come over the top? I've never gotten the club outside my hands on the downswing like this before, always been stuck inside if anything. I'm hitting weak cuts and push fades and it's driving me insane not being able to fix it. I don't know if its something that can be seen here or if I need a face on (don't have it right now). thanks

my god that's good. 11 is insane

boo for bad video quality. wish i could keep my left arm straight, and hold the lock in my left knee on the finish, but they both just give out. oh well.
