greengrassninja Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 heat the screw area to break the bond, use counter screws to unscrew the weights, best place to practice, guandong in china, can get taylor heads for mad cheap, then sell 'em as tour :finger: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengrassninja Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 then u could buy an ETCH-O-MATIC for under $100 USD, and put 'T' or Tour or a 'B' = usually meant for spine aligned shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03trdblack Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 I did this a while back to my R5 draw model the front weight port is much shallower than the back port. Is this true for the nuetral model???TIA The ports in the N model are the same depth. You're right about the D model and the different depths. I did it to my D model and it was easy. I just used a micro torch and heated the screws for about 15 seconds and twisted them out with a set of needle nose pliers. On the D model, you have to take a screw extractor and remove the "sleeve" from the toe side weight to get a normal screw weight in there, but again it was very easy. On my D the toe screw sticks out a little bit, but nothing really bad looking. Playability is still perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

03trdblack Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Here is a link I found on how to do it. That's exactly what I did, except you don't need to drill out the sleeve. All you have to do is get a #4 screw extractor and tap it into the hole. Then just take some pliers or a drill and turn the extractor. The sleeve will pop right out. That way you don't have to drill and possibly get shavings in the head at all. I mainly did the mod to custom swingweight the head without using lead tape or shaft tip weights.
