I find this almost laughable. What happened to good old-fashioned lead tape on the back of the heal or toe of the club. I’ve got it on my 3 wood and it cost next to nothing.

You can do this to affect the flight, but you can't change the lie angle. To me, if it points left at address, it will go left when I hit it. This is why my R7 had to go. I could get a weak fade to bring it back through moving the weights, but why not get a driver that sits square in the first place, and hit it long(ish) and straight?
I do have lead tape on my lob wedge though, to change the swing weight.

Agree. Why do manufacturers make clubs that don’t sit right. TM Burner is a good example, the standard model has a draw bias, I don’t want that and to get it right I’ve got to pay extra for the TP model. In my opinion TM lost out on my custom and why should I pay extra to get the club the way it should be in the first place.

All the TP versions sit open at least 1 degree (check TM's web site). TM don't make a driver that sits square.
For the TP, the better player is supposed to want to manipulate the face from open to closed, to facilitate a draw, and so the face starts open at address.
They don't do a driver for me, who is neither a good player, or a serial fader who wants a closed face.
If you want a driver that sits square, Titleist is one of the few that make one (all Titleist drivers sit square).
I can't see what is wrong with: align square, take it back square, hit it square, ball goes straight. How hard can it be.
