Taylor Made TP Weight Cartridge

The saga continues with my 580XD TP. I am playing it 45 1/2 inches at D0 with an NV75 S in it and having some control issues. I know some will say "get a lesson" but that is not the issue here.

Evidently, this TP head has had the weight cartridge altered or lightened because with 76 gram shaft at 45 1/2 inches and only getting D0, something is going on. I called TM and they offered to give me a RA to send it in to them and have it spec'd out like I wanted. They could replace the weight cartridge, but it to 45 where I want it to be and get it to D2.

Does anyone have any experience with this problem? Also, the TM Performance Van is going to be within 100 miles of me next week and TM said if they had the cartridge on the van, they could do the work.

Suggestions?

this is just a rumor, but i have heard TM got rid of so many xd TP's to retailers when they were making room for the R7 to come out that they did not weight the heads properly, off the rack TM drivers are usually d2-d4, when you PM'd me i had no idea that it was that light! i'd say send it back b/c they will not send you the cartridge, but then you'll be out of a driver for a week or so, try & get a cartridge off someone on TSG, someone is bound to have them, i had a ton but got rid of them when i got rid of my r500 series drivers.

Thanks Jon,

TM offered me a return authorization number the other day but I told them I would try the Tour Van first. I will call them on Monday and send it back to the factory so I know it comes back just the way I want it.

Thanks again for your help and suggestions.
