Are Tour Issued Driver Heads Any Better?

See Tour issued heads pop up from time to time and always wondered if they were really any better than retail heads?  Anyone see a big difference when hitting a Tour issued head?  Better ball speed/distance or better dispersion?

The only difference between the same model Tour issue head and the retail head is known specs. Face Angle, CT, Loft, lie. Knowing those specs can be beneficial but that is a personal preference.

Thanks for the replies.  Didn’t know if there was really any better performance or not and y’all answered my question.
