I’ve been struggling with a slice for a while now, and I’ve heard that adding weight to the driver head might help counteract it. I’ve done some reading, but there’s so much information out there that I could really use some advice from others who have been in the same boat.
Here’s what I know so far:
Weight distribution: Adding weight can shift the center of gravity, which might help with the slice.
Adjustable drivers: Some drivers come with adjustable weights or the possibility to add or remove them.
Effects on swing: I’m curious how adding weight might affect my swing speed or overall balance.
Questions I have:
Has anyone here made this adjustment? What changes did you notice immediately?
Was it easy to execute, or did you need professional help? I’m not handy when it comes to club adjustments.
Are there specific driver models that handle this modification nicely?
It would also be great if you could share any additional tips on improving my driver performance overall. I’m open to trying different things!
I’ve struggled with a slice for years! From my experience, it often comes down to swing path and facing at impact. Adding weight to the driver head could help with control. Has anyone seen noticeable improvements?
Totally agree! The swing path is critical. If you’re coming over the top, adding weight might not be enough. You also need to work on that smooth swing!
It’s fascinating how nuanced the causes of a slice can be! The clubface angle at impact really matters too. A closed face can help, but I wonder if too much weight can throw off balance.
Look, if you can’t fix the slice, just embrace it! Ha! Seriously though, adding weight sounds good if you’re also adjusting your swing. It’s a complete package.
Weight distribution can really influence trajectory. I’ve found that heavier drivers feel different, and that might play a part. Anyone tested this on a launch monitor?
I’ve been exploring different methods to add weight to my driver. You can use lead tape, which is easy to apply and can be placed on the clubhead to help with stability. It’s a great starting point!
Great tip! Lead tape is super effective. I also consider shifting the existing weights if your driver has adjustable ones—it can make a huge difference in ball flight!
Another option is to add weight directly inside the driver head. There are these small tungsten weights that you can install, but you’d need to be cautious about the balance.
For installation, make sure to clean the area you plan to add the weight to, and if you’re unsure, a professional fitting service can help. They’ll ensure it’s done right so it won’t impact swing dynamics negatively.
I tried adding weight to my driver, and I felt a difference in my slice! It kept my shots more stable. Just be careful not to go overboard with the weight.
Totally agree with you, Danielle! Weighting can help with the slice, but it also changes the feel of the club. Just find what works best for your swing.
