After going through great pains and price to purchase all of the components and putting together what I though would be my dream set, I am unfortunately letting them go. I love my old old blades the best, not sure why, but they just feel the best!
I have 2 sets that are near identical with some really cool variations that makes having both quite valuable. They’re both Titleist Tour Model from 1983. That year, Titleist made both a square toe and a rounded toe model, both look great. Not sure how I found both of them and in Left Hand to boot, but these are the 1st and only 2 Left Handed sets of Titleist Tour Model that I’ve ever seen.
Set #1- Square Toe
- Rifle Lite 7.3 extra extra stiff shafts, soft stepped to play around 6.8 (still extra stiff!!)
- Royal Grips Perfa Wrap Ladies (cue laughter!!)- 1 extra wrap on bottom hand
- approximately 6 degrees flat
- Irons 3-7 are D8, with other irons going progressively heavier (Lag’s specs on his D8 iron set)
Set #2- Rounded Toe
-
- Rifle Lite 7.3 extra extra stiff shafts, soft stepped to play around 6.8 (still extra stiff!!)
- Royal Grips Perfa Wrap Ladies (cue laughter!!)- 1 extra wrap and another extra wrap on bottom hand
- approximately 5 degrees flat (56 degree 6 iron)
- Irons 3-9 are D6, with other irons going progressively heavier (Lag’s specs on his D6 iron set)
The ladies grips feel absolutely great on there. I’ve always hated taper and even used Feel Golf’s Release Grips for a while. They’re reverse taper but to the extreme. Citing that, I tried to replicate it to a lesser extent and it works well with the ladies grip.
Set #3- Accuform PTM
While this set isn’t super ABS’d, it is quite close.
- 3 Iron to Pitching Wedge
- Accles & Pollock AP44 Stiff Shafts
- Golf Pride Multi-Compound Red Grips- fairly new
- approximately 6 degrees flat
- not sure of the exact weight, but they’re pretty decent, and I’ll throw in a roll of Lead Tape
I paid approximately $500 per set, to buy the sets, buy the shafts, grips, etc, and have them assembled at a great shop here in Toronto (Gord Smith used to build George Knudson’s clubs among others). The Accuforms I paid $400 for and they’re in near mint condition (with the exception of the 3 iron which I’ve used to drill a bit but it’s still in great shape).
If you’re interested, feel free to reach out, I’ll send you some pictures, and then maybe we can work out a deal.
Cheers, Chris
