Title says it all. I see what looks like the adjustment screw. I guess I am supposed to purchase some sort of tool that I don't have. Is this true?

r7 wrench

to save money you can use a TORX bit that fits into any standard screwdriver handle, I bought mine for a few bucks after picking up my r7 off of ebay without a wrench

The r7 460 (I am sure on this model, not sure what you have) yes, those are adjustable. IT is a typical star wrench. They come with the wrench, but any cheap star wrench set will do fine I believe. Many cheaper drill bit screw bit sets included a few star bits.

Mine is a 460 R7 Draw.

Right. As he said you cannot.

Interesting. Probably better that way anyways. I might have screwed it up.

Why is the screw there? Looks I suppose?

essentially... makes the club look high tech (they could have just positioned the weight low and inside the club but that wouldnt be as cool)

Not just that, but it also allows them to use the same clubheads for multiple shaft weights to maintain (or adjust) swingweight.

The Titleist 909s have a weight screw for the same reason. It'll even be included in the fitting cart, the three different weight screws (2, 7, and 12 gram, IIRC).

Everything affects the sound of a club. No doubt the weight - on either of the clubs discussed - is a factor in sound.

But in neither case can you buy a plug that sounds differently for the purpose of sounding differently. The sound is engineered into all the parts of the clubs...

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
