Hello everyone,

I just bought a new Taylormade R15 head only, along with a UST Mamiya- Proforce V2 Wood shaft, i took it to PGA superstore and had it assembled.  I didn't realize that I had purchased a 14 degree loft driver head....  I know pay attention to what you buy..  I have read that a higher degree driver would increase backspin and possibly increase the accuracy of my drives, which I am in need of.  

That being said, does anyone know if I would be able to buy a lower lofted version of a R15 and just switch it?  Would I need to have a clubmaker tweak anything?

Thanks for any feed back.

Rocky

The heads on those clubs just switch out with the tool to unscrew the shaft at the hosel. It shouldn't be an issue at all.

Right? I don't think they make any R15 heads that are permanently glued.

No, the R15 head will bolt on/off on that shaft, so you can easily switch out to a lower lofted head from the one you currently have.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
