I and a few others on this site love the Nickent 4Dx Evolver; fun adjustability options now that i've collected several shafts/heads. Dirt cheap too as Nickent is out of business. Here's the link to the thread:

Fairway Woods: Adams Speedline LP (3 & 5)

To be honest this adjustable stuff is all a gimmick.

You should buy a driver that fits your specs lie, loft, kick, torque, grip size, flex, and so on. Mold your swing and you really should not worry about adjusting the head weighting. Honestly, how many times do you think you will need to adjust your club head weighting? And shouldn't you find a club with weighting you like before purchasing it?

I have a lot of friends that have the adjustable weighting clubs like the R7 and what not. They messed around with the weighting when they first got it and now they never touch the weighting even when there shots continually miss the fairway. If you want to have an adjustable weighting system for cheap by some lead tape!!!

If you are producing bad shots adjust your swing not the clubhead.

I am obviously not a big fan of the adjustable weighting system. I don't see the reasoning for introducing it to the golf market except for another thing for the big golf companies to push their products. Think about about pros of the past firing great scores without this "high level technology." If you think you need every edge you can get, remember that golfers are just as bad before as they are today with advancements in driver design!

Invest your money in a custom fitted club.

In my Ping stand bag:
Irons: 3-PW Titleist T blades, 2-iron King Cobra Oversize cavity back
Wedges: Cleveland Tour Action 56 and 60 deg 8 and 6 bounce respectively
Putter: Mizuno Brass Bulls Eye Flange
Woods: King Cobra Pro S9-1 8.5 deg X-stiff, and 15 deg X-stiffShoes: Asics Tour Gels

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
