Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 I'm interested in increasing the swingweight of my fairway woods by adding additional weight to the club head since I'm not willing to change the installed shaft or grip. I'm not really familiar with clubmaking but have heard of using epoxy in the head or tungsten weights in the shaft. Any clubmakers out there that can offer me the positives or negatives of these methods and recommend the best way to go? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have to buy the tools to be able to drop a pliable lead epoxy from the butt and hammer it w a long 48" rod and plug it w/ a cork. I only recommend you do do this technique only up to 2 swing weight. If you need to add more then Lead tape is the way to go, or you can combine to get more weight addition.

hornyjuan Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Tungsten down the shaft is visually cleanest way to go without added a bunch of lead tape to the sole. Like Joey said...don't go with too much or the cog on your club will shift. With more weight near the heel your COG will shift ever so slightly towards the heel.

Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Looks like I'll be going with the lead tape since I need to go 3-5 swingweights up. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TourGolfJeff Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 RSU, Lead tape is always a good choice since it's easy to add/remove. If the shafts are graphite, they will need tip pins, not epoxy and powder. Plus, they will have to be removed for the pins to be installed. You didn't mention if theshafts were steel or graphite.
