I don't own one either, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to leave the hole empty. Taylormade has screws is several different weight categories, just put the lighter ones where you intended on leaving it empty, and the heavier once opposite to them...

the MWT that Taylor Mades r7 series uses is there to change the ball flight. You never want to play without weights in the slots.. if you tell me what model you have I can help you set your club up to suit your game..

I sell TM equipment and play all of it check my sig.

To keep the standard swingweight, you are supposed to replace the weights in pairs. I believe the default (on the TP model, for example) is 2-14-14-2 or 32 total. So whatever combination you want, it should add up to 32.

Also, an r7 with an "empty hole" is a non-conforming club.

    • You need to stick with one instructor as long as they’re not terrible. There’s no blueprint to improving a golf swing and different instructors may see different things as being more important and try to fix them. The end result is you get a hodge podge of things to work in that may not be cohesive or necessarily help you. If you stick to one instructor and communicate to them as such, they’ll also be able to work out a roadmap to your improvement which is more beneficial in the long run. If a guy assumes you’re just coming in for one lesson you might end up with a band aid.

    • Many thanks.  I read a lot of those posts.   Man, that is really deep.  As an old beginner, during a lesson or on the driving range, I have hit a good shot, you know pretty straight and it goes say 130 yards (7 iron).  The very next swing, I dig a ditch behind the ball.  I know I didn't do the same things on both swings.  Even this last lesson I had, I would hit a pretty good shot, not so on the next shot.  The instructor would quickly point out, "Hey you stayed on your back foot" or "Guess what happened there.  You got all armsy or handsy".  Sort of feels like I need a checklist when I prepare to swing each time.  I can see it now before every swing, "Hey can you guys give me 10 minutes while I run through my checklist".  In all seriousness, I see what you all are saying.  I wouldn't be overthinking it so much if just I could make decent contact most of the time.  Next lesson is about two weeks away.  Can't wait.

    • I was going to link in the same think @snapfade did.  Your swing is already consistent, repeatable, except for nearly "microscopic" differences.  The more mechanically-sound your swing becomes, the smaller and less frequent those "microscopic" deviations become.
