I have a Callaway XR Pro Driver that I have been using for 3 years at least.  With some corrections in my backswing it has been working good for me, except in consistent direction.  I have been

wondering if I change the weight in the sole of the club to something a bit heavier, if it may provide positive results regarding consistency.  The height of ball flight is good at a setting of 10 degrees.

Shaft is HZRDUS T800, 5.5, 55g.  The picture shows a 7gm weight under consideration.  The weight on the left is the one I have been using.

Thanks

I installed the 7 gm weight and played a round yesterday.  Accuracy was greatly improved as there was only 1 missed fairway.  However,

the club did feel heavier to swing and seemed to result in slower swing speed.  A slightly lighter 5gm weight is on order so will see how that

works after it arrives.

I highly doubt you'll be able to feel or notice a 2 gram difference.

Two grams is about one swingweight difference. Most people won’t feel that. Usually it takes about two or three swingweight to be noticeable.

Thanks for the feedback bill and klineka.  I played today and our senior scramble is tomorrow.  I am feeling the extra 7gms, and not

in a good way, although the drive's direction is still better.

The new weight (5gm) that I ordered has been going around in circles within USPS.  Three days ago it was here in Wichita, then went to Kansas City, Omaha, and back to KC.  So, in the meantime I ordered and received(!) a like new Callaway XR driver head.  It is very close to the XR Pro, a little larger (30cc?), and no removeable weight.  With the new head on my shaft it looks promising after a driving range session.

    • Woof. Not good. 8:40 to 8:50, blah. I know the grip is turned a bit to the left in that part of the video (face is closed a bit), but… no. Not that.
    • Eh. You're tricking yourself. You can still miss right or left, and what you've created is a situation where you HAVE to miss (but the right amount) to make the putt. That's not for me.
    • I can see a point in this.  If you play a straigth 3 footer with a square face aiming at the hole, you can miss both ways, with a close face or an open one. If you aim rigth an close the face at impact (like tiger used to do), physically you can still miss left or rigth but mentally you are only missing left (closed face) and having only 1 miss can give you a boost in confidence. I putt this way on fade putts and aim left and open the face on draw putts, never liked the uncerteinty of putting square to the target.  I apply something like this on approach shots, only use low or high shots and for middle shots I use a low shot with more loft ot a high shot with less loft. This shots are always what they meat low or high, a middle one can go a little towards the high and the low depending on the AoA of each shot making it mentally a little more uncertain what is going to be.  
    • Yeah, I'm not sure if he is genuine or not either but that's not why I'm giving him props.
