Does adding weight to a golf club help?

Had an opportunity to measure the performance of an iron when adding weight.

Considering doing a club fitters course soon so this is very interesting. Love your work!!👍

Everytime I've messed around with adding Lead tape to a club the Roof Comes Crashing Down on me, but recently I've added a strip of tape behind my Cleveland 52 degree wedge and I love it's higher ball flight.

Tried lead tape on various clubs in the bag. More weight equals so much more height for me. Since I want a more piercing ball flight I haven’t found adding weight helping me. Great fun testing this though. Will be playing with length soon. Your channel certainly inspires me to play around with settings!!!

I need to add some tape to some cavity back irons. Probably 3 swing weight points, so 6 g of led. Most websites say to fill the cavity at the center. I like your install for more smash. Nice job. I wonder what #'s you would get with a 50/ 50 combo: your install with center cavity install.

Where should you place the lead tape? For a slice or draw?

[GRIFF]

Can you recommend a good quality lead tape, with good adhesive. I've used so many and yet to find something perfect?

[lonnielondon]

Can hollow irons be swing weighted internally? If so what do you recommend to use to keep the weight secure. I'm swinging Ping I500's, I needed them slightly short and they are at about C8.5 SW. Great video! Thanks

I have an old set of irons Burner 2.0 that I am putting graphite shafts in to experiment, for fun mainly. Watched a ton of your vids and feel comfortable with prep and assembly. Just not really certain what I should be looking for from a weight perspective. I have a scale and can add/takeaway if needed. Is there a chart to reference or something major I should be concerned with. Again. just an experiment, but want to try and get things close to normal setup. Great channel.

I noticed you put the tape pretty much even across the back. Would it matter if you went more toe/heel depending on your swing? Thanks for sharing! 🍻

Hi Jim Can you advise me on the positioning of the tape, is there a recognised method? Great video as usual.

2 related questions: I briefly tried a friend's iron set (same head as mine) with KBS C-taper lite shafts. Contemplating getting KBS shafts in my set. Could you please differentiate the launch and spin characteristics between these 2 shafts (C taper lite and $ taper lite) Which is higher/lower launching and higher/lower spinning in a similar stiffness shaft?

2. My Callaway Steelhead Pro irons (2017) have Project X LZ 95 0.370 Parallel tip shafts. If I'm looking to make a change in shaft, can I use tapered tip steel shafts or am I committed to use Parallel tip?

What about the idea of back weighting? Does the principal still hold.

D2 is good for me as i get older. Heads that are too light spray the ball for me. Too heavy and distance and ball height is too low. I like your tape job. I need to do that with some MP-54s The backs of those are not conducive to a smooth looking job. Great Video btw.

What is the reason for callaway making these so light. I assume they were designed that way for a reason. Thanks Mike

[lkeith]

I definitely want to try this with my 4i and see what happens for dispersion/distance since i 90+% of the time am using it off the tee for position plays.

Would epoxy and high density led powder accomplish the same thing?

[Stewwwwww]

Hi do you have any videos or advice on how to extract a shaft out of a TaylorMade sim fairway wood/hybrid as these shafts are want to switch the shafts from my 2 sim hybrids around but not sure how it’s done

[Ready_Golf]

Thoughts on tungsten powder and epoxy in the shaft tip help?

[howlingwolfy]

I really love the way the B21 irons look.. Reviews have been very good. but hate the HUGE amount of offset.. Which is a deal breaker for me. I do have a (stupid) question for you.. since you are a highly skilled club fitter/maker. I know it is possible for you to bend an iron many ways (i.e. lie angle, loft, etc) to suite a golfers swing. Is there a way for you to bend this (B21) iron to have MUCH less offset - without damaging the iron??

[mikereed]

Are there any ways to add weight to irons beside lead tape? Can lead tape be permanently attached? What about lead rope down the shaft? I have a set of Cleveland Tour Action irons that are too light. They swing weight at C-4-1/2 and I would l like them at D-0/1. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
