Here is the deal - When I first started thinking about getting into golf a few months ago I purchased a driver for about $35 on Rock Bottom Golf through ebay. I bought a driver cause I was going to use old clubs of my dads and he didnt have a driver. The driver is a Ben Hogan CS-3 and it is in the fade setting. I hit my irons straight for the most part, and a fade on my 3 wood. This drive is can get to go about 75-100 yards and then it makes a right turn! I recently investigated this driver online and realized that there is a weighting system and that my driver is set up with the 18 gram weight on the toe with two, 1-2 gram weights on the middle/back and heel. It appears this weights are fixed.

Does anyone know how to change these weights? And if thats not possible, how can I add weight to the heel (lead tape)?

if the weights can not come out the best choice is to use lead tape and put one peice on and then try it and just add tape till you fell comfortable with the driver

i guess you could add a bunch of lead tape to the heel if you wanted to. i dont know anything about that driver, but since it was so cheap, have you ever thought about just reselling it back on ebay and getting another driver with a draw biased head? might be a whole heck of a lot easier to go that route. wouldnt the swingweight get all screwed up with adding a bunch more lead tape?

Yeah Im cheap and was hoping there was a way of fixing it. It looks like after shipping I might be able to get $20 for it off ebay, so I will try to jerry rig it, if it doesn't work I will get something that will

i would see if there is a wrench that you can buy to remove the weights and place them as your please. if that isnt available then just go the lead tape route, using enough tape to correct your slice while keeping a good swing weight and not affecting the flex of the shaft too much.
