Posted February 11, 200520 yr Is it possible to change the kick point of my Purple Ice shaft to give it a faster launch angle i.e. adding lead tape -- any ideas ??
February 13, 200520 yr not really, adding lead tape will soften the flex some but not move the kick point.. the PI is a great shaft for a getting a higher launch -- the only to get more height would be to go to a higher loft... or tee it higher but the ball back in the stance some but to make a noticable difference - a higher loft is the trick..
February 13, 200520 yr Author thanks for the onfo... exactly on the sfaft were should i add the lead tape & how much to soften the flex slightly ? My last XD had a Vista 50 'R' which i still have should i not get on with the Purple Ice but i'll give it a go for a month or two.
February 14, 200520 yr i think i know why you don't hit the purle ice combo further.. the purple ice is 85grams while the vista pro 50 is 50-55grams.. alot of weight difference here and MAYBE the reason it's not performing for you. if oyu add the lead tape -- apply it to the club head--towarda the face or center bottom..
February 14, 200520 yr Author since changing from an R&A to USGA conforming XD i haven't lost any more than 5 yards max, but with the Vista being a 50grm 'R' & the Ice a 'S' 85grm i think this is were i've lost a little launch hight... i will try a lead strip on the sole towards the face now that i have an idea of where to put it... thanks again for your help.
