Do you know about your Fusion?

[+TourSpecGolfer]

Have any of you noticed on the heads of the Callaway Fusions there are 4 boxes? If the letter is in the first box its rigged for a fade bias, 2nd box Neutral, 3rd semi draw position and 4th box is for full draw position.

There are also Trajectory rating determined by the letters:

L=Low

M=Mid

H=High

I'm a strong believer that the weight plugs in the R7 are gimmick, Ive owned mine since mid march and for the first month really believed in them, but after a little research it takes at least 50g of weight on one side to even create the slightest change for the average player. that means TM needs to make 25-40g weights instead of 10, 12, & 14gs. If you look at the callaway fusion they are using 22 and 24 gram weights which is more than the R7 but still not enough to make a noticeable difference. If your swing is consistent and your close to scratch then these small differences should be enough for you.

Those ports are a gimmick, unless you have a nearly flawless swing, I'd bet.

My guess is that this one is a low trajectory full draw position :cool:

i just spent a couple of minutes looking at my fusion, no boxes. maybe the boxes were only on early production models?

Judging by the shape of the face and its deepness it could be Tour Issues only.??? :-D

The boxes are only on tour issue Callaway fusions. Retail models only have a serial number in that area.

BTW, the TM weights are not overrated. If you have a decent swing, changing 2 - 10g of weight can and does change ballflight.

Second to DM, Those boxed one are Tour issue only.

On TM's behalf I would like to say this club was not desined for the average golfer. I spoke to a TM rep who told me the club was designed for the 5 hndp. or better to whom these changes can make a difference. :-D

My swing must be really bad then because i got lead tape all over my R7. The weight plugs only worked for the first month I owned it. even the guys on the JPGA got lead tape on their R7s with the 14g weights. :-D but ya know them Japanese they love lead tape on everything even their headcovers :surprize:

I don't have boxes or serial numbers......mines a prototype :laugh:

Actually, that fusion in the pic is weighted low on the toe, you're looking at it upside down

they only worked the first month? i daresay it's more likely that your swing changed than suddenly the weights themselves changed ;-) like anything, when you get used to a different feel you can compensate for a surprising amount of stuff. that's why they say when doing a lie angle test only take a couple swings - after that you will start to subconsciously try to compensate for whatever the lie angle to get a better result. or when testing shafts, take a couple swings then take a break or you will start to adapt your natural move to the feel of the shaft.

Callaway Japan in Shimbashi Tokyo is offering a limited edition custom Fusion + with only 500 pieces made for the public.

The fitting is $210.00 and it must be in person at the Callaway headquarters in Tokyo. The loft options are from 8.5 - 13 with 9 different bias and gravity positions.

I just think its something very cool that more brands should be offering.

I'm also hearing that in the Tour TP R7's their is a bias per request option for tour players and that many are taking advantage of this. My question is whats the need for an internal weight bias if they have the plugs?

After what chris just said about the japanese asking for weight bias, r7 this leads me to believe that the weight plugs don't really affect the club's performance. What I would say is that if you have a club which is biased in any way the weight plugs can enhance the bias.

It must work to some extent but cant be all that much, hmmm Internal weight bias + Lead Tape + weight screws and this is on the JPGA not average players. R7 is still longer and better than most clubs despite this.

Also TS girls R7 which lives in the trunk of my car has screws rusting after 4 months :mad:

It must be the fertilizer that you put in the trunk that makes it rust. :laugh: :surprize: :smile2:

This is similar to a question I asked about my tour BBII. On the bottom of the club in the two "II" there is an "f" in the 1st "I" and a "." in the second "I". Does anyone know what this means?????
