Why Adjusting Club Weights Matters
Adjusting the weights on your golf clubs can significantly impact your game. For drivers, it can influence the trajectory, spin rate, and forgiveness, while adjusting the putter weights can improve balance, feel, and control. Whether you’re a weekend warrior or a competitive player, understanding how to customize your clubs can give you that extra confidence on the course.

- AeroPro Adjustable Golf Weights Ping G410 Driver
- High-Density Lead Tape Roll
- TorqueMaster Blue Golf Wrench
Step-by-Step Guide:

Identify Your Desired Ball Flight:

Fine-Tune with Lead Tape:
- For additional adjustments, apply high-density lead tape to specific areas of the clubhead. This is a great way to add minor weight adjustments without completely changing the club's balance.

-
Install New Weights:
