POG has different paintjob over the years.
The first POG comes with a single green line (not really sure):

The mid i bought last year was the ´87 model with four green stripes (and "prince" on both sides).

The modern POG´s on TW comes with one green line and one in gold, says prince on one side and TOUR on the other.

Also, i have the 20th anniversary POG OS, it says prince on one side and "straight shaft" on the other. Don´t know about the others, but i have read here that this particular POG have different balance. In fact, i have dont measured my POG but dont feel too Head Light

gonzalo, what leather grip is on the last POG? Is it Eagnas?

Check the balance. How many pts headlight is your POG Tour? I found the POGs sold recently by TW are only 4pts headlight. They have the "Tour" markings.

hm....zman you're right..the tour seems less head light compared to the demo pog that i currently have. And i don't know how to check balance....so tour and "pog" will play differently?..

 

[Z-Man]

Yes, they'll play slightly differently. 12.3oz and 4pts headlight will be a beast unless you're a strong player. Use a pencil, rod, dowel, box, etc and find the balance point. Check how far that is from the handle end. For every 1/8in the balance point is different from the midpoint, that's 1pt head light or head heavy.

Its a bit heavy...got a start working my forearm
P.S
it came without a leather grip...Which one should i get? i know fairway grips are superior but its not avaible.

No leather? Better check the weight and balance before you add a leather grip. That will make it heavier. How does it play?

very very heavy .....i need a thinner leather grip because the used one i bought is actually 4 1/2 nd i use 4 3/8(although i can use 4 1/2)

 

[dannyjjang]

ne one?????

 

[mistapooh]

Does it have to be leather? I really love the feel of gauze as a replacement grip, you can try that. Use some gauze then build it up with a layer of tournagrip, or you can just use a couple layers of tournagrip.

Anyone else like the feel of gauze =/?
