Ok so this is gonna sound stupid, but the Taylormade Torque Wrench that they claim is "universal", is not; unless I am truly challenged.

I was playing around with my R1 yesterday and adjusting some stuff then I wanted to do the same on my RBZ 3 rescue. Didn't work at all. The shape of the keyhole is the same but just looks a touch smaller on the RBZ.

Again, I feel dumb needing to post about this, but I have searched around the internet and haven't found any complaints about it. In fact, I have found tons of post selling the "universal TM torque wrench" perfect for R11, R11s, R1, RBZ clubs.

Does anybody know anything about this? Would my wrench work on a RBZ driver, just not the rescue club? I feel dumb.

Odd... I have an old R7 with torque wrench, an R11s Driver and fairway wood with their respective wrenches. They seem to work across all of them. Is it possible that the slot is just filled with schmaltz or something?

I thought that was the case but its really not. Legitimately the RBZ has a smaller keyhole; very slight. The wrench just sits atop it. Its cleaned out and perfect condition not like warped or bent or stripped

Any chance that the hybrid is a counterfeit?

China ran out of the big star bolts, but they had others they could use....Had this problem with a used club off Ebay... so you will need to purchase the 110-piece Craftsman Handy-man Tool-kit ($199 but then you have tools!) which comes with the 3.5 millimeter star bit to wrench your club, or go to a NAPA  store and they can sell you the correct bit for like 4 bucks. Yes it is frustrating especially if you strip the star pattern. The money spent to extract that screw... pays for the tool kit.....Hurray for China!

Funny, I bought 2 wrenches, 1 for my Titleist 3 wood F2, and my Callaway driver. The titleist wrench was 25.00, and the Callaway was 10.00, and these aren't torque wrenches, they just have stupid looking plastic handles on them. Just another way for them to make even more $$$ off us..

    • Ok thanks for trying to help me out,I'm leaning toward videoing myself,I will have my sister cam me,I gotta tell you that my swing is not a pretty thing..lol.
    • In general, don't see what is so harsh. If you don't like, it's not the law.. just make your own rules. I love vanity cappers Two additional points: 1) Most golfers are not that good: Yes, and most of them think they are better than they are. So a softer penalty would suit their vanity. No, thanks. The 'right' kind would not mind S&D. 2) Houses pinching fairways: If not OB, people would go in and try to hit out of people's yards. Trespassing galore. No, thanks.   
    • I hate articles like these. If you are playing just to have fun, it doesn't matter what rules you are following. Nobody will care if you hit one OB, drop, and then mark down a 5 instead of a 6. If it doesn't impact anyone else or hurt the course, then go wild. For competitive golf, I think stroke and distance or the MLR on OB/lost balls is fine. I don't see any reason to change it. The penalty being too harsh just doesn't register with me.
    • @Christoby - We really can't help you out more at this point. You haven't posted a swing (here or in the member swing subforum), and you haven't provided any concrete data that shows how high you hit it. Generally, you want to be able to hit it pretty high. PGA Tour average is around 100 feet, but also the best players tend to be a bit above that. The conventional wisdom is that it's best to be high with longer clubs and be able to flight it lower with wedges and short irons.  I would guess that you are not hitting it too high. But it's just a guess because you don't have videos or concrete data.  That said, don't do this: It's a band aid that will lead to bad habits.
    • This article makes the claim that stroke and distance is overly harsh. The Worst Rule In Golf | MyGolfSpy There should be a change here. Their claims as to why it is overly harsh.  1) Most golfers are not very good.  Yes, but the rules of golf have been around way before pro golfer existed, and most were not very good.  2) There are too much OB on many modern golf courses.  Maybe were the author lives there are tons of courses with housing developments and tons of OB everywhere, but I don't see it. When I played on courses with a lot of housing, it isn't crazy tight that OB really comes into play that often. So, I think this claim is not valid. 3) PGA Tour players have the benefit of galleries and ball spotters to find lost balls.  Yes, but I do not think it is consistent the further down you go the pro tour hierarchy. Also, this is just a claim to validate more bifurcation of the rules, and it's not really a good one.  4) A lot of golf courses are not properly marked with hazards or maintained.  This is true, but also the rules of golf cover this. A water hazard doesn't need to be marked for it to be a water hazard.   5) It slows down play because you have to go back to the previous spot to re hit the shot.  I get losing a golf ball in tall grass, or sometimes in normal rough sucks. If you hit one close to OB, or into the woods, hit a provisional. It speeds up play for a good portion of times you will have to take stroke and distance.  Then the articles go into a few not really well backed reasons to further bifurcate the rules to make OB less penalizing for amateurs. Basically, they want the modified local rule of placing the ball in the fairway with two stroke penalty to be a one stroke penalty. This means that OB is now less penal than a lateral hazard. Imagine if the water hazard is at the base of a steep-ish slope. If you drop there, you will have a horrible lie/stance. I think right off the bat this stance is not valid. They go into where PGA Tour players get benefits over amateurs. Things like temporary immovable objects allow them to get free relief. Courses normally do not have the stands or other equipment needed to run a tournament. The argument is very weak.  I might be willing to say that OB marked with a white stake and/or white line should be played like a lateral hazard. The scenario in my head is, what if there is a golf hole where there is a lake on the left, and OB on the right that goes down the entire hole. If you hit the ball into the lake, it is not playable. So, to me there is little difference between hitting it left in the water versus right OB. Though, you may be able to play it from the water. A lot of times a lateral hazard is not marked on the water's edge exactly. A lost ball is a lost ball. There is nothing staked, so it is hard to judge where it should be. So, stroke and distance make more sense.  Yea, I think the rules make sense with stroke and distance penalty. I would say not overly harsh.
