Has anyone on here weighted their drivers with extra weight? I have mine set to nuetral with two 14 gram weights in the center and 1 gram head/toe. Was wondering what was the popular choice head/toe for a little more weight and did it make any notable differences in drive distance?

I have mine set to a draw with the 2 12's in the heel. However the swing weight should be the same in yours. It just might launch it even higher now with all the weight in the back.

That's what i'm hoping for and thinking about with some extra weight. I dont seem to carry the ball as far with my 8.5* Superquad as I did with my old lead taped 8.5* 983k driver. Figured I might as well get some heavier tlc weights then to lead tape it.

That's a lot of weight. Maybe you should have gone with a higher lofted club. Also you could reshaft it if you haven't done so already.

I meant tlc weights>lead tape. I wouldn't lead tape a superquad, just thinking about adding a few grams at the head and toe. I've had to re-learn where to tee the ball up and everything. It has a mid/boring trajectory now when hit good. I just seem to hit it different from one round to another it seems like.

Been wanting to see what it looks like on a launch monitor but havent had the chance to. It still has the stock stiff reax in it.

If you move the ball forward in your stance about a 1" it might help you hit it higher without adding the weight. Worth a try!

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
