Best channel on KZfaq for us tinkering sickos

Love the simplicity of your videos to show what happens. Keep up the good work

Enjoyed the unconventional experiments. These are stuff we wonder but never got to try. Keep it up!

The lead tape on the bottom center gave you an average of four more yards! And was more online and just a hair more clubhead speed. I'm more interested if you would do a video again in more detail with the weight in the grip!

Re tape: as long as it’s affixed securely and not anywhere on the clubface or putter face. (For a deeper interpretation of Rule 14-3, check out Decisions 4-1/4 and 4-2/0.5 in the Rules of Golf.)

The one man TXG. Respect! Earned a sub!

Great video, I have been experimenting with weights on my driver for the shape of my shot , but alao with my irons but more for the feel of the club head weight. Today's irons are so light I lose feel of the club head and feels lose coming through contact. With the extra weight, I can feel more where the club head is during the downswing and through strike.

Nice video. I have a tsr1 and later on a fitting event which came surprisingly to our course, I figured out that the heavier tsr2 produced higher ball speed and better distance. So I build a sort of speed frame, jailbreak or pwr bridge with a 5mm wide lead tape all around the driver just a bit behind the face and I got a new tsr2. Less vibration. More crunch and a couple of more yards. Would be nice to see that in a video of yours if you get similar results 👍

I'm putting some lead tape on bottom toe of my driver. Should alleviate left misses for me. Great video

Great video , I would be interested in how much lead tape you would use on toe side of sole to tighten up your draw to see if you get more roll out. Thanks , keep up the great videos!!

I just added lead tape to the bottom of my driver to make the driver heavier, and it has helped. I felt I can swing faster without the clubhead lagging behind me, and opening up at impact.

Great video! How about on the shaft?

Great videos

Nice cuz I just commented couple days ago asking this

Good analysis

AJ, if you haven't already, perhaps make a video of lead tape on irons in different locations. Thx!

I have a scratch golfer friend who uses it the entire length of the sole diagonally on his Callaway Driver. He wasn't concerned about looks either as it resembles a very bad welding bead. But he bombs 'em.

Good video

I just tipped my driver shaft and added 5 gram of lead into the shaft this just brought the driver back to D2. Waiting for break in the weather to test.

Thanks! That was informative. I have a rescue club that i like but seems to go way left. Put led tape on the heal and went more left.. ill move it to the toe and see how that works..

Will you be reviewing the new Golf Pride reverse taper putter grips anytime soon?

So where do you put the tape to prevent the toe shank? Asking for a friend.

great video. Would’ve been more interesting if you took swings with no tape to compare to all the other scenarios.

I’m a natural 10yd draw off the tee. I put 8 out on toe and let it go. I would like to do a little hot melt to dampen the sound a bit. How many grams do you think is needed to accomplish that ?

Interesting as I can vouch that heel weight does cause duck hooks😢. I would like to see where you hitting on the face to see if the weight location impacted your flight.

What was the difference in the swing weight? I use lead tape to adjust the swing weight. 5 grams should be about 2 SW points

Lets try weight in the grip to lower swing weight

Wish you had tried the edge of the middle, back (where most manufacturers of high moi drivers place the weight) I have read that this location tends to help close the face, as well as increasing launch and spin. My question is does this location actually promote face closure?

Tape on the face put all your shots center or right. Tape in all other positions put your shots left of center. In my opinion the tape had more effect on direction then distance or flight.

The harder I swing the more I hook the ball will putting tape on the toe slow the face from closing straightening my shot? The faster I swing I feel I can hit it farther??

What were the settings on the clubhead itself.

Is there a difference between a 10.5 degree driver lofted down to 9, versus a standard 9 degree head?

In order to fix slice or snap hooking you have to have a constant same swing

It appears it may as much psychological as anything else, also detracts from the appearance of the club, interesting tests and easy to follow along

Would have loved to see you do more weight like 15-20gram …. Think that would have more impact

I don't see why it wouldn't be legal. They put alignment aids on drivers already. Some bigger than others. But they are still there.

Weight on toe?

This is why I like PXG drivers. I can place the weights where I need them and then adjust the hosel for lie and loft. It does make a big difference when you get it dialed in.

The calibration on that machine is some 30 -35 yards off.

five grams isn't going to do anything for performance that would be noticeable.

“5 grams is not a ton of weight”

Unfortunately there's nothing about the data in this video that is statistically significant. Moving 5g of lead tape around really isn't going to cause any sort of change in the dynamics of a driver club head that you'd be able to see with a human test. I'd be willing to bet that if you conducted this test completely blind that you'd not be able to tell which shots were hit with the lead tape in various positions and the results are more based on placebo effect than actual results. Not being confrontational or picking a fight with the internet, just calling out that this "test" isn't really a test that shows any meaningful results that people can benefit from. The standard deviations on the launch monitor results essentially overlap showing no really difference other than the different swings a human puts on a ball from shot to shot. Placebo plays a HUGE impact on golf though so if someone knows there is tape on the toe then they might react to it subconsciously anyway. Enjoy the videos Adam, keep it up.

You were hitting the ball alot more in the middle with the tape on the crown of the club........
