2014 Taylormade MB Irons

First off, thanks for any help people can pass along......

So, im working on building a set of 2014 TaylorMade TP MB irons. Im trying to get the swingweight just right but need to find the standard raw weight of the heads and havent been able to locate it online. The reason im not just weighing my heads is because the swingweight comes out really high with standard specs and X seven shafts in them. Bought these on BST so wondering if they are heavier than standard for this model.

Does anyone know where I can find this info? Should I just call TM?

Thanks

What are the playing lengths with your X7s? It takes 9g of shaft weight to affect swing weight by 1 point, so unless you're moving from something like Modus 105 to X7, the high swing weight is a result of some other factor.

Shafts are standard. I weight those out and they are spot on.

Sorry weighed*

I had X7's in a set and played them at .5" over standard. I believe they came out around d4

TM use "bullet" weights in the bottoms of the hosel bore to weight their heads. I had a set of PSI Toir heads that were almost 8g heavier than I would have expected or needed so I took the bullet weights out and then used normal tip weights to get to the swing weight I wanted.....

How did you take them out?

Heated the hosel with a torch until the epoxy breaks down (usually get a small,puff is whitish smoke when that happens) then hanged them against a tamping plate. If you search in the club making form for bullet weights I think there is a thread on them.

I have a set w/ DGS-300 @ +1/2". I won't have a chance to check the weights on each until Thur night, but I will and edit this post.

They came std with KBS Tours, so you can get in the neighborhood by 'reverse engineering' knowing the shaft length, weight, finished club length, and grip weight.

A 6 iron with a stiff KBS Tour (38" and 120 g) at std length (37.75") with a Stock grip (52 g) is listed at D3. This would put the 6 iron head at +/- 263 grams.

It is an estimate, but it should be in the ball park.

I dont know anything about the weight, but I do know that they are fantastic irons and highly underrated.

Ya, ive started in this direction. Just want to make sure I can trust my math ha

Thats what I like to hear, hoping all this trouble will be worth it.
