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.

    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
    • Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.
