I Predict TaylorMade Copies This Idea in the Next Year or Two

[ChetlovesMer]

Here's a concept on movable weight I haven't seen before. I just stumbled across this and I immediately thought "Dang, I bet Taylormade copies this idea in the next year or so."

I’m wondering if after awhile that bottom plate starts to rattle.

Wait, here's more.

I'm curious what happens if you hit it without the plate???

Interesting concept - definitely simplifies the weight placement. First thought is like above - when does the screw come loose and the "disc" goes flying down the fairway to parts unknown....

You get DQed for a non-conforming club. 🙂

Awful review he did, poorly done. Discuss the numbers and the difference he got. Tell us your average drive, draw? Fade? Distance? Weigh the tungsten weight. Show us how the different positions affected the shot. ‘Not the worst and not the best.’ Solid conclusion.

Yeah, I actually started a thread a while back about how I thought MyGolfSpy was losing their edge. Maybe I just remember it differently than it was. But it feels like 8-10 years ago they were really data driven and shared all their results and discussed their findings openly. I just don't find I get much out of them anymore.

Probably at the same rate that the screw comes loosed on your adjustable Driver, and the head goes flying down the fairway. Probably never, at least if YOU are paying attention to what you are doing!

That's when you have to start using a lock washer 😂

I'm thinking this would be a fun game like roulette. Have someone spin the dial without you watching and you have to bet where the ball goes!  Such fun!!!

Very true, very true....I was just poking fun at the potential of a flying disc.  While I have not see an flying head, I did witness a flying club one day...the guy on the other end appeared to not be having a good day.  On a more serious note....the idea as noted before is pretty neat, does remind me of the SLDR weight system in that you have these weights you can move back and forth to "shape" your shot.
