I have some questions about the setup of the MWT in these two different drivers. Can I add the 6g and 10g setup to the regular 460 driver (not the TP) and get the same results shown for the 460 TP?

My guess is that I cannot, the regular 460 only has two trajectories listed, neutral or draw using a 2g & 14g cartridges. The TP model has four trajectories, More Draw, Slight Draw, Slight Fade, More Fade but it doesnt have a neutral trajectory. (even though both drivers only have two MWT ports)

Do you think I can get a slight draw using the 6g & 10g weights in the correct positions that the 2g and 14g should be in for Draw on the regular 460?

I don't have the instruction booklet for the R7 460 MWT, if you happen to know of a place online to see this please help me out.

Also, can ANY wrench (ones that say for R5, Quad or TP & R7) be used on the cartridges for the R7 460? I need a wrench and keep seeing so many different descriptions that make it seem they are for a specific type of TaylorMade club i.e. R5, R7, Quad or TP.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

Raistlin, You can use any weight combination in the R7 460 wether it is the TP model or not. Just make sure the total weight remains the same to keep swing weight constant. For example, 14+2, 12+4, 8+8, etc. You can also use any wrench from any year or model to tighten the weights.

Raistlin,

To add to that, TM's non-TP stuff requires the largest weight in the toe and the lightest in the heel to get back to neutral weighting (so, 2-14 heel-toe). But the face will still be a little closed.

You can't make a non-TP driver toe-heavy. The furthest you can move the CG towards the toe is the center of the face.

    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
