Lead tape is metal strip made of lead for golfers making quick adjustments to their club, changing not only the club’s actual weight, but also how it feels.
Adding lead tape in precise spot of your club will definitely make a difference in a club’s total weight and swing weight.
Most golfers apply lead tape to the clubhead to make it feel heavier. It only takes a couple grams of lead tape to alter a clubhead’s swing weight and change how it feels, ultimately it could change the way you swing it.
Some other golfers may use lead tape under the grip to reduce the clubhead’s swing weight. This makes the club feel lighter and theoretically, can help a golfer gain some extra swing speed. This is also known as “counter-balancing”.
