On the sole plate, next to the 'speed slot' the shiny, threaded (?) screw-in button flew off during practice. So what? Should i fill the hole coz the interior seems empty so maybe could fill with sand or dirt. What to do? I'll try the pro shop, maybe buy a new button. If not, maybe use a hunk of lead.

That "button" as you call it is actually a weight. CALL Taylormade and they should take care of you.

How much could such a weight weigh? One, 5, 10 grams?  Will TM tell us the weight?  I can't get another button, not in USA, so thought to plug hole with homemade weight but may not be able to make the weight removable. Am thinking of a solid lead plug, even an old fishing weight carved to fit and screwed in then epoxy over the top. Good idea but how heavy to go? I suppose i could fill the entire cavity with, hmm, what? Squirty foam, tiny glass beads, sand, etc then epoxy the hole.

Update, for what it's worth. I see on Ebay these  buttons for sale, said to be genuine TM for the RBZ and weighing in at 10 grams. Frankly too expensive for me, mostly due to shipping costs. I'll go for the homemade 10g button. If ever i'm back in USA i might call TM but till then i need those extra 40 yds the 10 gms will give me.

    • Day 133 (25 Apr 24) - Worked with the Divot Board today added a piece of cardboad behind the ball to help reinforce ball first contact. Contact improved through the round.   Added grandson's football goal posts about 10yds out to add a good start line visual Good session today. 
    • Day 120: 4/25/24 Full Speed Spectrum training session. Low energy today and my speed was lower than normal. Will see what I can do on Saturday.
    • Day 541, April 25, 2024 Ten minutes after lessons. Still not caught up, but should be by tomorrow evening.
    • Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.
    • He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
