I have a Yes! Natalie putter. I like it very much but i feel that my putts come short all the time, and i met a guy the other day that said he added lead tape or something to his but i wouldn't know how to do it, or where to add it, or where to get it. Will it mess up the way the putter is balanced etc?

thanks for the input

i just recently added lead tape to my putter and it has helped with getting a more rhythmic stroke with the added weight. i have a scotty cameron and i added several pieces of two inches of tape to the sole. i tried other spots but they messed up the feel. you can get it from golfgalaxy.com and just experiment with it!

The high density lead tape I purchased at Golfsmith was $6 or $7, something like that. I got the .5" size and ran two strips side-by-side along the sole of my putter. It fit perfectly; the sole on my studio design is about 1" wide.

I have an Odyssey White Hot # 9 and whenever I visit my local Golfsmith I find myself always gravitating to the putting area and hitting a bunch of putts with the Odyssey Whit Hot Rossie Blade. My question is can I add some lead tape to my #9 putter to get kind of the weight of the Rossie Blade? And if so where do I add the lead tape? I was thinking on the bottom of the head but not sure how that would effect turf contact.

For what it is worth, Phil Mickelson puts the tape across the flange evenly from front to back.  It's not pretty, but it works for him when the greens are slow.  They showed this at the Torrey Pines tournament.

So I decided to add some lead weight strips to my putter. I did not add it like the above photos show. Thank you for posting that pic glock35. For those familiar with the White Hot XG 9 I place 6 cut lead strips over the Odyssey logo on the head. I enjoyed the feel today. Will see how the longevity is in the coming weeks.

      Day 36: back to some mirror work tonight. Need a bit more forearm roll in my feels to help with the shallowing.

      _sigh_ so close to red text.  Went away for three days, but didn't do a practice morning-of-departure (Friday) nor evening-of-return (Sunday), so I had three misses, back to day one. Day 1, May 4 2026.  At home today, spent nearly an hour in my practice room, hitting about three dozen practice balls, primarily with my 6-iron.

      Width at P4 Has Downstream Effects on P6 and P7

      I would think of it in terms of time. The time it takes to get the arm angle into a good position to deliver the club with proper shaft lean. Another component is rotation, but that is also a matter of timing. It relates to how the body stalls to give the golfer time to hit the ball. If you have to get 80+ degrees out of that right elbow in one third of a second versus 50 degrees in the same time then you have to steal time from somewhere. It is usually body rotation. That does not help with shaft lean.  I agree in that amateurs tend to make the swing more complicated than pro golfers.

      I haven't been able to practice like I wanted and won't for the next week.  1. The weather sucks in Ohio this year. I have been mostly inside hitting foam balls. Just kind of my basic stuff.  2. I woke up last Saturday with a left side rib muscle on fire. If I turned or leaned a certain way it would spasm that almost buckled my knees. I have been taking a break to let that settle. I don't want to get a long term injury. I think I pinched a nerve or just aggravated a muscles.   3. I am going on a mini-vacation to Florida (screw you Ohio weather) with a friend, and rolling that into a work conference I have next week. I will be with out my clubs for a week.  I will be back next in two Fridays to hit the ground running with some warmer temps and better weather in Ohio, hopefully. I would really like to get more out on the course and the range.
