On the sole plate, next to the 'speed slot' the shiny, threaded (?) screw-in button flew off during practice. So what? Should i fill the hole coz the interior seems empty so maybe could fill with sand or dirt. What to do? I'll try the pro shop, maybe buy a new button. If not, maybe use a hunk of lead.

That "button" as you call it is actually a weight. CALL Taylormade and they should take care of you.

How much could such a weight weigh? One, 5, 10 grams?  Will TM tell us the weight?  I can't get another button, not in USA, so thought to plug hole with homemade weight but may not be able to make the weight removable. Am thinking of a solid lead plug, even an old fishing weight carved to fit and screwed in then epoxy over the top. Good idea but how heavy to go? I suppose i could fill the entire cavity with, hmm, what? Squirty foam, tiny glass beads, sand, etc then epoxy the hole.

Try ebay, they had them perviously ... from China.

Update, for what it's worth. I see on Ebay these  buttons for sale, said to be genuine TM for the RBZ and weighing in at 10 grams. Frankly too expensive for me, mostly due to shipping costs. I'll go for the homemade 10g button. If ever i'm back in USA i might call TM but till then i need those extra 40 yds the 10 gms will give me.

    • I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
