For the past year I have owned and played fairly well with my R9 Supertri Driver 10.5 loft.

I started with the standard 16-1-1  weighting and moved weights around and adjusted club open & closed.

Then decided to buy an additional weight kit of 10-2-2 weights. More toys = more joy?

This year I started with settings of 1 click closed and weights of 2 heel  10 mid    2 toe...

After a month I started tinkering again...

Right now I have club set to upright standard...2 heel   1 mid   and 2 toe  !

If my Math is correct I have taken 13 grams of weight out of the club... came standard 16-1-1

I do seem to hit the club a bit straighter BUT am I costing myself distance?

By removing 13 grams what have I done?  To swingweight?  shaft flex? Less head weight might mean less flex???

Any idea what new club this weight would be equal to?

BTW The R9 Supertri is such a classic looking head it really doesn't show its age!

Driver :T Edge CB-1 or Cally Mini Driver 14* or GBB 11*
Tour Edge CB2 15* 3 wood (Best Club Ever!)

Callaway XR 5Wood (New BCE!)

Hybrids: Nike SQ 23*  Tour Edge 28*

Irons: TMade RAC  7-PW   T Flight 56 SWedge
Putter: Odyssey 2 Ball Blade, SStroke flatside to hole

I have the same club 9.5 degree. I replaced the 16 gm with a 1 gm and put a 25 gm counterweight in the grip. The head feels weightless and I definitely get more carry than the standard setup. i like it alot.

Glad to see someone else went "light" with the head weights. When I first got the extra weight kit I loaded the head... 16 heel   2mid  and 10toe. I thought the extra weight would make it a distance beast... Wrong!  The head felt like it was being dragged thru water. Extra weight made the club uncontrollable... at least for my swing speed. My next tweak maybe to set up a backup shaft... either ultra light or senior. Not  planning to take apart the current shaft... just put together a second shaft complete with adapter (China?). I had even considered going with inch longer shaft but I think that might be pressing my luck. For now I will settle for fairways hit vs length off the tee.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
