Today I have Orlimar HTi 440 with an ALDELIA NVS 35r.
Tomorrow it may be something else.
Could be a KRANK RHCP or an ADAMS RPM or an...............?

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.

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
