| Has anyone switched them out or messed with them? I have a TM Sim / Max with a stiff shaft and have always wondered if there’s any benefit in switching them out. |

The obvious adjustment is adding or subtracting weight to get the swing weight you need. On heads that have multiple weights or weights you can move… Side to side adjustment affects how the ball wants to curve. Moving weight towards the heel will give the head more draw bias, towards the toe would be fade bias. Front to back adjustment affects launch, spin, and forgiveness. Weight back: higher launch, more spin, more forgiveness Weight forward: lower launch, less spin, less forgiveness |

Weight placement in a driver can help, but if you are slicing it is a swing issue more than a driver issue. Coming over the top In to out swing path Bad stance, Premature hip turn/weight shift Shaft to stiff Take your pick. |

It was meant to be sarcasm but emotions never come through it typed words and that really sucks. :) Its all in my swing. I cant fix it. My shoulders are so screwed up that they just dont work in the direction they are supposed to. That is the biggest reason why I play golf. It is good physical therapy for my shoulders. I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be good. I can keep it fairly straight if I close my club face about 10 degrees and not try to kill the ball. |
