I have some lead powder and swing weight corks in transit as I’m going to cut my 7 iron 1/2” at the butt. This reduces the SW by 3 points and I’ll add the sufficient amount of powder to correct the SW back to D2.

 

Going into .355” tapered shafts, should I sand down the overall height of the corks to reduce the top diameter or just take a 5/16” rod and push like crazy? Thanks.

@Adam C and @boogielicious can probably answer this for you.

The appropriate corks are pretty soft so assuming they are the correct size to start with should only require ramming them down.

I’ve done this with a putter. It’s pretty easy. If you do it carefully enough, you can check swing weight before ramming the cork down.

      Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…

      Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.

      Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!

      I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
