In our forums, our members have been reacting to a user’s 4-iron conundrum. WRXer ‘Rocco.20008.25’ is having issues with his 4-iron slot, telling fellow members:

“I’m back with another 4-iron question. I’m currently playing 4–PW 2023 Titleist T150, bent 1° weak, with Nippon Modus 120X. Overall I love the set, but the 4-iron is the one club that isn’t quite doing what I want.

My main issue is that my launch is a little too flat and I don’t get enough spin. What I’m looking for is a higher-launching, straighter, and slightly more forgiving 4-iron, but without completely losing the ability to flight it or control spin into greens.

I’ve been considering either a T200 or T200U 4i, or bending a 3 utility iron to 4i loft, I would do this to reduce offset and add a touch of bounce which tends to work well for me. I don’t struggle with speed or center contact, I’m just trying to optimize launch window, spin, and still be able to hold greens.”

And our members have been sharing their best thoughts and advice in our forum.

Jeff58: “Consider changing the shaft in your current iron to a heavier (100g-ish) carbon model.”
poor_putting: “Why not just go another degree or 2 weaker and see what happens? Cheapest option to start with.”
stryper: “In addition to all the other suggestions, Mizuno Fli-Hi’s cover this space pretty well too.”

Can I Loctite lead tape to the sole of a driver? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, one user has outlined the trials and tribulations of finicky lead tape placement. They’ve explained why the adhesive won’t stay attached to their driver, and are looking for solutions.

“I have a Ping G430 driver that I keep having to apply lead tape too. Yes, I’ve tried all the tricks (cleaning club with alc., using some heat to apply, applying pressure to embed). The problem is, the sole of the club gets wet and the adhesive starts to fail. Taking the headcover off x10 a round starts to hitch on a bit of leadtape and eventually it falls off. Can I apply a little bit of blue Loctite to keep this more secure?”

Our members in the forum have offered up their thoughts on whether or not applying Loctite to lead tape is a good idea. Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

Mikey_HACKilroy: “Blue Loctite is a thread locker. Useless as a contact adhesive. 3M Super 77 or Loctite spray adhesive. Remember to mask the driver where you don’t want the spray. Also make sure you wait for it to become tacky on both materials or it’ll be a PITA to attach. Clean-up later should it fail or you want to remove it will be harder, but not impossible.But really….. this is WRX; don’t we buy new drivers when things like this are a problem? Surely there’s a driver out there with more customizable weight to negate the lead tape. ? ? ? (I’m kidding of course LOL)”
PJE: “It sounds like you have a bad batch of lead tape? I’ve put lead tape on the front sole of drivers many times and it didn’t come off until I got tired my experiment and peeled it off. The last tape I bought was from Amazon. It worked well. It was $10 for the roll.”
Stuart_G: “FYI – it’s a common misconception but the reality is that unless you’re adding weight on the order 20+ gm – the location really doesn’t matter for most. You’re not having any significant effect on the c.g. location.”
