OK, Tom, here's some theory stuff nobody's discussed here yet (to my
knowledge).
What makes these driver heads with adjustable weights work as advertised? Is
it all hype? And, it is conceivable that they don't work as well as a well
designed driver head without the weights?
Seems to me they work by moving the center of gravity one way or the other
off the center of the face. Move the weight back and toward the heel and the
bulge is off center. Hitting the ball square in the middle of the face would
actually be a miss-hit outside the cg, so the ball would start out straight
and gear effect would give it a draw. Assuming most golfers slice the ball,
a slight slice spin might result in a straight ball flight. But any
miss-hit loses some distance...so doesn't make much sense to me. Is that how
the adjustable weight stuff works and if not, how does it work? Can't really
see any benefit for a player that isn't achieved better with an offset face.

Lots of us here but there's nothing to discuss. Every conceivable factor
regarding golf wear, golf ability, golf shafts, heads, fitting etc., has
been solved on this forum. All we can do now is sulk if we don't get any
emails, and hope that some company comes up with a radical idea. I'm
thinking the re-invention of the tee would be a great place to start. MOI,
flex, how a tee helps a golfer to hit it farther and straighter, or - what
device is available to the average clubmaker that will show us precisely
how to determine where to set a shaft tip in a hosel. I'd begin with
something that would divide a .335" diameter tip into 360 degrees - the
possibilities are endless.
