emansinwi Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Hey everyone! I use lead tape on my driver only. I wanted to try a shorter shaft, and was told I needed to add some weight to the clubhead. Do any of you use it in other clubs? I was surprised to see how much some pros use on like their wedges for example. Anyway, truly love the groups and the chats! Enjoy the Masters!

Shapotomous Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I have it on my irons and hybrids to get swing weight to exactly match. None on my driver since i can get various weights for the G410 to put in heel or toe locations. None on my current set of wedges....yet!

Do any of you use it in other clubs? This is a general recommendation. I shortened my driver and did not add any weight to the head. This recommendation for additional weight is to get the swing weight back to where it was prior to shortening the shaft. I am not that sensitive to swing weight and my driver works fine. i use lead tape on putters or I have swapped weights if the putter has removable weights.

Depends on how sensitive you are to weight change and how things go with the shorter shaft. After you cut the shaft hit balls with the setup and check contact point on the face, ball flight, etc. if you don’t like the feel or results slowly add tape tll you get to the point you are happy with the feel and ball flight I have used lead tape on irons when I switched to graphite shafts to get them to match the feel I had with the steel shafts. It was only needed on a couple irons Edited April 11 by RickyBobby_PR emansinwi 1 Quote Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
