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 24: did a stack session. Worked a bit on downswing feels during breaks. 
    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.  
    • I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on. 
    • I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.
