hi guys was just using my new r7 460 at the range and i wanted to change the weights and i found that the wrench wouldn't seem to unscrew cartridges. instead of turning the torque wrench just easily makes that clicking sound like when you over tighten a cartridge. could someone help? im really sweating on this as its actually my fathers and not mine. Edit: i went to the pro shop and the guy used his and he could unscrew it. has anyone got any ideas? the people i played with think that the tread is worn down but i disagree as the torque wrench seems easier to make that cracking noise when you dont put as much pressure on it.

Driver: Taylormade R11 set to 8*
3 Wood: R9 15* Motore Stiff
Hybrid: 19° 909 H Voodoo
Irons: 4-PW AP2 Project X 5.5
52*, 60* Vokey SM Chrome

Putter: Odyssey XG #7

Ball: Titleist Pro V1x

It sounds like the wrench is broken. That "clicking" sound is not from "overtightening" the weights, but from when the clutch is engaged. The wrench will not allow you to overtighten the weights by engaging a "clutch" that slips when it reaches a certain torque, or tightness. When I tighten my weights I turn until it clicks, meaning it's tight enough.

You can pickup another wrench on ebay for cheap: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-TaylorMade-r...QQcmdZViewItem

Hope that helps.

That's exactly why I prefer lead tape to adjustable clubs.

I agree, although I wonder whether whoever put the weight(s) in previously didn't use the TM torque wrench and over-tightened them.

In my TM r7 Stand bag:
Driver- r11 10.5° Reg shaft

Fairway wood - r11 3 wood
Hybrids- r11 3, 4 & 5
Irons- M1 6-AW, xft 50, xft 54.12 , xft 60.08°
Still have / love my r7 CGB Max 6-PW, xft 50, xft 54.12, xft 60.08° which I keep in Myrtle Beach, Tommy Armour 855 Putter

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
