Is there a trick to removing the weight screws????
My club is a Nicklaus Q4 with 4 weight ports.
Tool to remove weights is an Allen wrench with handle.
I can get the center screw to release
but always have trouble popping the weight cartridge out.
Is there a trick here I am missing...
(yes, I admit I am tool challenged )
Sometimes a get the feeling the cartridge fits too tight...
kind of like pulling foot and boot out of mud.
Should I grind it smaller??? Soap it???
Separate Question...
Where can i get additional heavier weight screws????

I have the same club and have experienced the same problem. It mostly occured with the outer, lighter weights. I had to carefully keep the tool on the screw after it had released from the threads, and slightly tilt the tool and pull up on the screw at the same time. I also felt like some of the weight or slot had some shavings come off when I removed the screw.

One more thing, the light weight did have some form adhesive on the thread when I took it out. I removed rather easily.

I don't know where you can get heavier weights, but I bought the iron set as well so I was given additional weights.

What flex and loft did you get?

I went with 10.5* and regular, I might have went with stiff if they had in stock.

I have the 9* stiff.
I too did notice the glue like substance on lighter screws...
I now loosen the weights with allen wrench...
but use needle nose pliers to remove the weights!
Sometimes I put the nose of the pliers in Allen hole and open.
MUCH EASIER!
So far I have mixed results...
definitely straighter but I'm not sure it is longer than my Cleveland 330
minimal effect from weight adjustments.
Biggest disappointment is SOUND...
I wanted LOUDER!!!!
So far I like the zip headcover... sharp looking
I'll be playing more shortly so opinions could change.

    • Day 2 (20 Jan 26) - Similar work as yesterday - started with lead hand solo drills with the 50°, followed by series of pitches and chips utilizing full setup. 
    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
