Adjustable Driver Weights Rules/Question

[iammpspeer]

I was watching this video on the TM website about the R9 and how you can adjust the weights and something with the shaft etc.. Well the guy said "If you don't like how it played the first four holes, you can fix it on the fifth teebox."

I though once you adjust your club, you CANNOT mess with it once you start your round, is this not correct?

All the other people in the video just mentioned adjusting it on the range, but this one quote got me questioning the rule, because I was told I was not allowed to adjust after I have started.

Playing characteristics of a club cannot be changed during a stipulated round (Rule 4-2).

Maybe the guy was referring to a practise round fun...
