lead tape and a driver

[buykrux]

i want to my my shaft feel a bit heavyer before i make the choice of switching to steel
i was thinking about putting a strip of lead tap on the bottom of the shaft
how far up and how much tho? i notice tiger had some one his about 6 inches up
any thoughts?

Depending on what shaft you have right now you'll need to add a lot of tape to get close to steel.

Depending on the tape it's about 1g per inch and if you're going from a 75g graphite to steel at ~110g you'll have a strip of tape pretty much the full length of the shaft.

im not looking to bring it to steel weight but something more close to about a 80g-90g shaft
its a prolaunch red
i find the club seems to come out of plane quite often compared to my steel shaft driver so id like to make it a bit heavyer and see if this fixes it, if not, im plugging in a steel

i threw on 5 layers fo about 5-6 inches of tape 7 inches from the head
is that ok?

I would put one long strip of tape along the back of the shaft. That would simulate the weight distribution of the heavier shaft better.
