Matt Fisher from MrShortGame demonstrates how placing lead tape on your driver can fix left or right misses and adjust feel without buying a new shaft or head. By placing weight on the toe or heel, golfers can control face rotation, lower spin rates, and optimize launch conditions.
Establish a clear swing baseline on a launch monitor before making any lead tape adjustments.
Applying lead tape to the toe slows down face rotation to reduce hooks and left misses.
Applying lead tape to the heel helps the clubface close faster to compensate for right misses or slices.
Just 1–2 inches (2–3 grams) of lead tape can visibly lower spin rate and enhance swing weight feel at the top of the backswing.
