Is it necessary to keep the total weight of the cartridges at 16g? I would like to keep the 14g cartridge & add an 8g or even 10g to the toe. This would only create more MOI & change the swing weight, right? Has anyone tried adding more weight then the 16g' s? Any input would be sweet.

Thanks

Agreed. I think I have something like 36 or 38g of weight in my 425 instead of the stock 28g because I like a bit of a heavier club to keep my tempo from getting too fast. It also helps because I can generate more force with a good swing speed (F=ma). I tried a lot of different combinations and found a good compromise between swing speed (light weight) and good tempo (heavy weight).

I did what you are thinking...I went ahead and ordered two (2) 14 gram weights and placed them in the stock 1gm ports. I left the 12gm weights in the stock locations. Personally, I am not sure what these changes do to the swing weight or trajectory...the physics behind the changes would be nice to know.

As a total feel player, I find the changes complimentary to my type of swing. I like the increased "head" weight because it forces me to swing smoother and in more control, which translates to a longer drive for me with less effort.

The only other change I make is that I have to tee the ball up pretty low...but the ball still flies pretty high...go figure. Yo...techies! Throw me some knowledge on what the heck I'm doing.

Overall, go fo it..the weights are relatively inexpensive and you can play with them in so many configurations that the inner golf range rat will be busy for weeks tweaking.

PS The only other changes I made to the club is a switch to Winn grips (52 gram - medium/blue size) and I have stiff Stulz (65g-33/040 BP/Mid) shaft that replaces the stock. So based on these changes the, I am only adding 2 gm in the grip and 26gm in the head from stock.

    • Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out. 
    • Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though. 
    • Day 22: Hit balls with 7-iron using mevo+ to track dispersion. Was out for a long time after work; 86 balls but the first 50+ were 50% swings focusing on top of backswing feel and then just hitting the ball as a psychic reward. Finished with 20 balls close to full speed. Pretty happy with dispersion and also no horrendous misses. I’m chunking my priority piece out into two separate feels, first and more important is the position/balance at top of backswing which is what I was working on. Once I have that engrained I’ll move to transition part. 
    • FWIW I never really had issues with the previous generation of Snells. But… I'm not sure I played them a ton, either.
    • I know Dean Snell designed the original Pro V along with a couple of other brands tour balls.  How exactly does the Snell ball have problems.  Did he change something in the design or is a manufacturing error since he cannot afford the unlimited R&D budgets of the big manufacturers to iron out flaws
