Hey i JUST noticed that on my R5 Dual N type...the part where it has the "N type" is a different color from the silver..its like a yellowish see through tint..sorta like those glow in the dark things...O_o...should i be worried here?
Take it to a authorized Callaway dealer and have them check it out.
Okay, make that a TaylorMade authorized dealer. I guess in reality, most authorized TaylorMade dealers will be authorized Callaway dealers and vice versa, so, in a sense, what I said was close to being right.

besides the color everything else seems ok...i mean serial number is there everything is there...it just freaked me out when i noticed it..btw anyone know how to post pictures up in the thread?
I doubt that it's a Tour R5. They are extremely rare. Check the serial number though. If it begins with a number it's a retail. If it begins with T and it could be tour (although I've heard some R5 tours begin with X).

Good to see that someone else is knowledgeable about tour equipment
I did post a bit quickly, because the Tour R5s have TP on the toe, because TM hasn't put out a TP R5.
I think a quick (not full proof) way to check is just by looking at the driver at address. If it's completely square then it's not a retail R5. Every R5 I've ever seen is closed. Also the head looks a little shallower than I remember R5's to be. Almost looks like a fairway wood from the angles. Also TOUR R5 should have .335 hosels for the most part.

i just talked to a TM rep and they said i should just take it into an authorized dealer and its up to the dealer to set something up with TM to get it worked out...she also said that she's heard of it turning yellow before...which makes me believe that when i first got it it wasnt yellow...i asked her if this was common and she said no...but she did say that it didnt affect its performance at all...i got my driver from an Ebay power seller so im not sure what i should do...i mean..i just got this driver not too long ago and honestly i dont mind the yellow that much at all...what do you guys think i should do??
That insert looks like plastic while a normal insert is metallic. I don't think it turned color and composition all of sudden. I would contact the seller and ask him why it's different from other R5's.
