My wife's friend who recently went through a divorce asked me to help clean out her X's workshop. He was a good golfer and had loads of stuff for tinkering. One prize I received was a set of Taylormade R11 irons. They are almost new. I hit them for a few rounds and they are nice. The only problem is they have Stiff Rifle shafts and I like Regular shafts.

My question:  I purchased a wrench/tip from a hardware store and was able to remove the red weight in the back of each iron head. Can these weights be interchanged for different weights? How much are the factory red weights supposed to weigh? I cannot find where to buy them if so.

Your help is appreciated

He hit the lottery for a few million then divorced his wife. I don't think he needs anything.

That's fair enough then, r11 are great set of irons not sure the idea of removing the weights but u will probably need to change shafts

His X wife gave me a couple of Taylor Made wedges with a replaceable face XFT 52-09 and a 54-12. I don't know much about these wedges. Anybody have any info on them? Internet searches don't provide very much information. I wrote to TM and they haven't responded.

Any help is appreciated :-)

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
