Reading The r7 Weights

[Dent]

So I want to hit the ball straight, I naturally am If i dont consider the weights, So what can I do to fix this? what do I do with the weights.

[DavidFehertysBike]

I have an r7 425 myself, and I wont put it in play because i dont know what to do with those damn weights..

[Dent]

I cant stand this draw, It only does a litle bit, But i cant stand it.

I just had a set of these given to me...a driver, 3w, 5w, and a hybrid. If I hit a natural fade with a "normal" wood, would setting the weights up for a draw make the ball go straighter for me?

I am more outside to inside with my powerfade/slice so I just aim my woods left and let it do work.

I would imagine some of your shots already have a slight unnoticable draw to them. Very few people hit dead straight.

Anyway, I wouldnt recommend that you put the same weight in both the heel and the toe, as I don't think this would fix the problem, and would possibly make the club unstable. You could try a heavier weight in the toe, I believe you can get 18 gram weights.

If the 2 gram weight is in the heel and the 14 gram in the toe, then it definitely is on neutral/fade. What r7 wood is it? The r7 Steel, r7 Ti, or r7 TP? I know that my r7 ti has only two configurations, draw and neutral (not fade). So if you have that one, it is naturally draw biased.

[Dent]

It is the r7 Steel.

[elchene]

Since it isn't a Tp, then the club is currently set on neutral, not fade. That's what iacas said before. The draw may just be natural if it's small.

There's only so much weighting a club can do. How about you learn to keep the clubface open a little more than you are now (or change your swing path - I don't know if you're hitting it straight and drawing left or if you're hitting right and drawing back to target).

And again, for the non-TP stuff, heavier weight in the toe gets you to neutral weighting. They may also have a slightly closed face. You can't truly create a fade bias on a non-TP TM club with MWT.

Is this true for a non TP Super Quad driver also?

My instructions don't mention that.

Iacas is mentioning the r7 fairway wood line specifically. the superquad has 2 different fade settings (fade,more fade).

[Dent]

Jeez! Im a numbnut

I mentioned in my first post that the 2 Gram is on the heel, but Infact the 2 Gram is on the toe while the 14 Gram is on the heel.My Apologies guys.

[iacas]

Is this true for a non TP Super Quad driver also?

I believe so, yes. If your instructions don't mention that, that's because they're relying on the fact that almost every golfer has a natural fade, so a neutral face = fade.

As I said, I believe that's true across all TM clubs with MWT that aren't the "TP" models. Drivers, fairway woods, hybrids... I guess not so for putters.

[B.K. golfer]

The club is set for a draw, the 14 gram closer to the shaft is weighted for a draw. I got a r-7 425 driver and the r-7 steel 3 wood thinking they would eliminate my slice, they weren't magic clubs like I thought. I still had to work on my swing and get my path inside and release my club. I love the clubs and will mess with the waits now that I have worked out some of the swing flaws!

Ha. Well at least you can fix the draw now with the wrench.

Just wondering if anybody could answer my question? Thanks.

I'll try and help. I had a real bad slice, ball would start straight and then start curving do to spin (club face open) at about 75 yards. I did a demo with a bunch of drivers and the R7 Super Quad with both heavy weights near the shaft helped reduce this slice. It did not eliminate it, but it helped.

Since purchasing one I have been working on different setups, ball placement, weight shifts etc. and I am getting close to hitting it straight or a small fade consistently.

Just wondering if anybody could answer my question? Thanks.

Well i went to the golf store to get the wrench, I drove 45 mins to get there, and they Are out of stock on the wrench!
