DaleUK Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 If you was to add weight in the hossel of a Driver , what would the end results be? Would it JUST make the club heavy or would it help to close the club at impact,?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 depending on how much the head weight is and where cg is in that head and how much weight you are going to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 depending on weight you will also soften the shaft a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffer19 Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I think putting weight at the hosel would increase the swing weight besides increasing the static weight of the club. However, the cpm would go down correspondingly due to heavier head now. I believe the extra weight at the 'hosel' would not help closing the club face at impact.

+TourSpecGolfer Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Wood tip weights will help with swing weight issues but may effect how the shaft tip reacts. Hot melt would be ideal if done with a clubmaker who is familiar with it. It depends on how much weight you need to add as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodo Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I have 1 Ryoma 200gr head with a Crazy CB-46 shaft and a Ryoma 198gr head and want to put also a (just received from you) Crazy CB-46 shaft in.I was thinking to put a 2gr wood tip weight so they will feel the same.Will this work?

Shambles Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 If you was to add weight in the hossel of a Driver , what would the end results be? Would it JUST make the club heavy or would it help to close the club at impact,?? It would do both, but the player will feel or not feel it's effect depending on how tightly or lightly he holds the club. You can probably feel a bit of the effect by wrapping 2 or 3 grams or so of lead to the hosel. That should be about all the space would allow inside the shaft tip, and is plenty, probably too much.

Duffer19 Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Warping lead tape inside the hosel or around the shaft tip? I thought the OP was talking about using shaft weight pin inserted into the tip of the shaft. Some driver heads do have weight port inside the hosel just before the inserted shaft.

Shambles So I'm guessing something like a 5 gram weight would be over kill?? I was trying to make the club head feel slightly Heavier , but was hoping it may aid the head close at impact too.. I am well out of my Depth on club building BUT wanted to try and understand the effects if doing the above!! Again thanks for all your comments/ input D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundowner Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 (edited) Something I learned from golfwrx and tried it later .. +2 gr. tip weight = +1 swingweight = - 1cpm (for tip active shafts -2 cpm). If you want to get a more draw bias: 1. Try tip weights or look at http://www.golfsamur...e-on-driver.htm for different positions 2. I had succes with the normal fade position, where I personal can better feel the position of the head trough impact 3. Shaft/butt prolongation: + 1 inch = -8-10 cpm, so + 1/2 inch = - 4-5 cpm 4. If you have a good clubfitter, let him find the spine and rotate to a new position. Spine at 6 - easy to release, Spine at 12 - straight CB46 with spine at 12 I found hard to release. Spine at 9 - easiest to draw, but maybe not stable 5. Thinner grips Hope that helps! Edited May 11, 2012 by sundowner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am well out of my Depth on club building BUT wanted to try and understand the effects if doing the above!! Again thanks for all your comments/ input D My earlier suggestion was to simply wrap or tape 2 or 3 grams to the outside of the hosel so you can personally feel the effect of the added weight and how much weight is involved, but still remove the weight easily without damaging the club. It's close to the intended position so the feel will be as close as possible without the actual and adjusting the amount of weight will be reasonably quick and convenient. When satisfied and determined to proceed, you can put the right amount of weight inside the shaft tip in any of a number of ways and have a better chance at getting what you want. Shambles. .
