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.

    • Is there a list of “takes that can just go away” somewhere on the site so I can avoid getting on your lawn going forward?  And if bolding and capitalizing a word isn’t yelling, try sending an email with a topic you don’t agree on to your boss, or his/her boss with a key word bolded and capitalized and see how that plays.  Have a good one buddy.  
    • Depends on the focus of your training. Feedback is a huge part of learning. If you do not know what you did wrong, then change is slow to non-existent. There is something to be said for repetitions, and bulk for reps. You want to be making reasonably good swings to ingrain decent habits. Let's say you want to turn more, then turning more is good practice. Doing a lot of that will help. Let's say you want to change your swing path from being across the line at A4 to flatter at A4. Then that still takes reps, but you will need feedback to know if you are even making the movement. Maybe you set up a rig that makes it so your club will bump into something if it crosses the line at A4. From rep to rep, you know what is good and bad.   Notice, none of these meant hitting the ball.     
    • To be fair, one of his points was that the field in the U.S. Open has a lot of qualifiers. The PGA has a pretty strong field, as did the Memorial. He did himself no favors by calling out a single bold uppercased word as "yelling."
    • You can get a lot out of mirror work. Just making swings? Nearly pointless for most people. If you record a slow-mo video, the face is often wide open or something else is wildly off because there's no ball to hit. If you know what you're doing, you can get a lot out of "practice swings," but they're often more like exaggerated "rehearsals."
    • is there any value to hitting plastic balls or just swinging? Can you improve your game from your backyard or must you go to the range and course often..what say you
