do those weights on the taylormade COMPLETELY eliminate slices and fades?

Sure they do, but only if you get the club from the tooth fairy and you have the same exact swing every time.

I just started using Titleist 905R. Before that I've been using the Taylor Made R5 Draw w/ stiff flex but it had the flex tip, but I didn't like the flex tip.

Me too. That's why I bought the R5 with Draw. I still sliced it. If you have a repeatable swing, then you can adjust it to help you do what you want.

haha. i use 905s, i think im the only one who uses the S

Is that because you hit it too high and need less spin?

I love this driver, it's the middle or nothing. I didnt get it because i cant hit the middle of any other driver i got it because i could hit it a long way & hit 12/18 fairways a round which is a hell of alot more than i could with my old driver.
My driver was the last peice of equipment that i upgraded i was of 16 and hitting a Dunlop 10.5* driver.

I have a King Cobra F Speed 460cc. I think it is last years model. Dad is always buy and trying out clubs off of ebay. He bout this driver with 12 degrees of loft for some reason he thought he need more loft but he couldn't keep it in the fairway so he gave it to me. I can bomb this thing down the middle most of the time. I started hitting it to far for my own good. I can't hit a decent pitch to save my life.

TM R7 460cc Stiff, loveee it.

... My friend is obsessed with the R7 Draw and claims it makes him hit a pure straight drive, I tried it, and didn't really like it, then again I don't need to draw with it since I have a natural draw.

I play a Nike forged 350, 9.5*, stiff. It's old, but I've learned to hit it well. I fear change.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
