What do the movable weights of the taylormade r9 driver do?

I am trying to get a new driver that may help with my slice.|||cuz, let me simplify this for you. The golf ball tends to follow the weight of the club face. Therefore, if you slice the ball, and want to lessen that slice, you want the heaviest weights on the inside (toward the heel) of the club. Conversely, if you hook the ball, and want to lessen that hook, you want the heaviest weights on the outside (toward the toe) of the club. Just remember, the ball tends to follow the weight. You can accomplish the same thing with lead tape if you want to experiment with one of your older drivers that doesn't have movable weights.|||The adjustable weights on the Taylormade driver are there to overcome a players poor swing or to set the weight so that it is advantageous to hitting the shot.|||There are three ports on the back of the club.


Essentially you can insert different weight cartridges into the back of the club in different combinations which moves the center of gravity of the club.


What this means is that, for example, if the heavier weight is in the heel, the COG of the club is shifted toward the heel. Promoting a draw shape to the shot. If the COG is in the toe, it promotes a fade.
