I honestly hadn’t thought about lead tape for years, but I was struggling to produce even a slight draw with my Cobra F9 Speedback driver (9 deg). Long story short, I settled on the most upright setting (10Draw), heavy weight forward and added 6 grams of weight towards the heel. This came after testing several different configurations. Result was really surprising. I’ve gained 15-20 yards distance. More importantly, I’m not worried about OB right anymore. Sad part is that I’ve played this driver for 4 years and have just now unlocked its potential for me. Low single digit handicapper old dog learning new tricks! Thank you!

Great stuff! During the COVID lock-downs I started experimenting with my clubs. I once tried The Heavy Putter some years ago and loved it so I figured... hmmmm why not do something like that?. To give everyone a good laugh... I removed my putter grip, used some left-over rebar of small diameter I had kicking around and fit it inside the putter shaft. I epoxied it so that it doesn't rattle. My putter is now incredible!! People ask me to try it and can't believe the results! It's an old Ping putter (copper-beryllium I think) and love the look of it. Funny stuff but hey, I putt much better.

Lead tape has hugely transformed the performance of my driver. With all the weights and expensive cartridges. It turns out that lead tape was what I needed. Few driving range session and few bit of lead tape. Incredible difference. I like my driver head to weigh around 204g. New drivers are often wayyyy too light and although I can swing them faster , I don’t feel where the head is at all.

Interesting stuff, I just started out on my new driver. My old driver was (although not explicitly advertised) way more draw biased, this one wants to fade a little more, but I am also doing some swing changes that have made me straighten my path but open the face to path for reasons yet unclear. put 4g on the heel, not seeing significant change yet after hitting 16 shots on the range, but the head feels heavier, which is not unpleasant. Luckily my launch monitor is not reporting any clubhead speed drop.
@davidkimpton89292 жыл бұрын
Hey AJ, Noted lead tape location has negligible impact on COG location (for irons). It also has some impact on MOI properties, and this might effect how the individual swings the club. I'm not convinced that it doesn't matter where you put the tape on irons... I'm sure you have seen the Edel wedge system - the premise there is that moving weight around has a substantial impact. Interested to know your thoughts on this.
@EFGMC2 жыл бұрын
Don't disagree with any of that. Many wedge designs have a moving cg that gets closer to the high toe side as loft goes up, but that requires moving a good bit of weight around in the head. At a certain weight, you no doubt will see a difference, but most people aren't going to be using enough tape for that to really happen. It's also difficult to pinpoint enough tape in one spot unless you use very small strips and build them up 10 deep or more.

Very useful and informative vid. Use of lead tape is a game changer for us finicky golfers. One thing I don’t believe you alluded to when placing lead tape on a driver is if you place the lead tape on the back of the head toward the heel it will promote a draw and conversely if you place it on the toe it promotes a fade. I even place lead tape out toward the toe of my putter because my right hand tends to flip the putter head closed on I pull outs as a consequence. Lead tape on the toe of my putter prevents the flipping action and my putts go straighter.

Really depends on what parts of your game are good and which need help. I think if you are consistent enough to break 100, a fitting can help. Don't know that you need an overly elaborate fitting, but a solid standard fitting looking at length, lie, loft, shaft weight, flex, grip size.

@EFGMC2 жыл бұрын
So all the weight you are adding is on the butt end of the club so you are lightening the swing weight. Usually a jumbo grip will weigh more than midsize unless you are switching brands and construction type. Your swing weight will be lighter, but the static club weight will be heavier. This may or may not influence your swing. If you are having problems feeling where the club head is during your swing, you might want to try some lead tape on the head to see if that helps.

Depending on the grip you probably loose 3 SWPs going into midsize. 6g of tape will balance that back out. However I wouldn't just assume you need the same SW as you had before. Even though the scale will tell you the same SW as before, you've added about 20g to the static club weight. That's a significant amount. I would start with a couple grams of tape on the head and see how your consistency is, then keep adding or taking away tape until you find the best result.

@EFGMC2 жыл бұрын
The Mr. Shortgame colab was about using a different shaft setup to change ball flight characteristics. Wedges will be much the same as irons. You have a limited amount of space to add tape to and the wedge heads are very heavy so the change in weight is going to be quite small unless you add well over 10g of tape for instance. Just add the tape to the middle portion of the head for weight. If you want to change the trajectory, bend the loft.

It’s not going to make a huge difference, but adding weight to the CENTER of the back of an iron head is going to make it less forgiving. Think of it this way: the more weight you add to the center of a cavity back, the more you are turning your cavity back into a blade). For this reason, I add my lead tape around the perimeter of my iron heads (and try to keep it as evenly distributed as possible). This can be a little tricky, but it’s worth it to preserve forgiveness I think.

For that I would locate the tape right up near the face on the sole. Can be a little tricky with some head designs and swings so it doesn't get peeled off. I would also make sure you know where you are making contact on the face. Anything lower on the face is going to ramp up the spin, which it sounds like might be your issue. However it could also be too little spin if it starts out high and then just falls out of the sky. Really would recommend getting on a LM to see what the spin is doing. Otherwise you might make the problem worse instead of better.

I would have imagined if you put the tape vertical and not horzintal it might change the COG more for the irons.. also you can have a heavy shaft and it fill like air because the balance point is high.. and a light shaft that feels real heavy because the balance point is super low

@EFGMC2 жыл бұрын
Can totally impact those things, however it's going to be golfer dependent. Each golfer "feels" weight differently in their swing so the same SW change could have opposite effect for two different golfers.

@EFGMC Жыл бұрын
Are you using tape or the little precut pieces. If you have a clean dry surface, it should stay on without issue. Make sure you really press and mold the tape to whatever contours you are covering.

What about putting the lead tape on the front/back of the driver?
@EFGMC Жыл бұрын
More towards the back will provide more stability but can increase spin. Forward will do the opposite.

I’ve put it on the back of my driver and 3 wood. Will go to the driving range and play around with the position. Thank you for the advice.@@EFGMC

Less than 1g in most cases though not all lead tape is the same. My tape is about 1g for a 2 inch strip.

My Wilson D100 iron head is a little larger than normal, so a little heavier weighted in the bottom. Game improvement irons, I love these irons, I don't need the lead tape but may help my driver. Interesting.

The one thing i've noticed over the years is that on the wedges I've played the COG has been closer to the heel than the center of the face. Not sure why it's been that way. Or maybe it's just me..
@EFGMC2 жыл бұрын
Yes, most irons, especially blade styles seem to lean towards the heel side with the CG. With the higher lofted wedges (58, 60) over the last few years you see more brands build up that toe section to move the CG out and up that direction.

Grip question if i may - i brought some 2nd hand Katana irons from Japan and the grips were knackered, so i went to change them, butt end of the graphite shafts are too big/wide to get any grips on, i did try to stretch the opening of the grip to slide it on but it ended in swearing! Any clues/tips/tricks to get the grips on? Sorry i didn't measure the end of the shaft (doh)
@EFGMC2 жыл бұрын
Look for grips with the largest inside diameter. Not sure how thick these shafts are but you might try and look for the old Taylormade Bubble shaft grips. They are 30 years old now, but they were designed for extremely wide shaft butts.

The issue in your review is that it doesn't take into account the dynamic effect of adding weight, how it affects the club head angle at impact of an actual swing: does it de loft, change the side angle at impact, gives more distance, etc.

Lead tape is primarily for feel and improving contact consistency. That's what I focus on. Keep it simple.
