Legality?  Don't really know, but a lot of pros use lead tape e.t.c.  also not to forget Sarazen and the use of lead to create the Sand Wedge.

just a follow up on the 16 cent backweight. Taping the coins seems to hold up so far. The club seems a little more balanced to me, but perhaps only imaginary. Realizing also there is a little more to "The Secret" than 17 grams of counter weight, the grip itself is heavier and would have a direct effect on swing weight. In any event, it "seems" to help. I have been on the course several times and no problems with tape coming off. Also it is noteworthy to say my grips are Golfpride Tour Wraps and not corded and therefore the feel of the tape is not much different than the grip itself. I do not even notice it is there.  I do like the extra inch or so of shaft length. but have not noticed much difference in gained yardage. As for increased control, the jury is still out. But I can say there is no feeling of "less" control. .

Boccieri said in an interview the grips are heavier plus the weight is closer to adding30 to 40 grams to the butt end of the club. (1.05 - 1.41 ozs.)

It's not just the 17 gram tungsten weight at the butt of the grip. These grips are made of heavier material (about 40%) than average grips. Therefore, the nickels and pennies won't be enough. :-D

Do you have a postal scale or something that you could use to weigh the grip to share the total weight?

According to the Boccieri website, they spec the grips as follows:

The Secret Grip for swing clubs is available in two sizes (Standard and Midsize).

(I read on the Dick's Sporting Goods site that the swing club weight is 92g for the Standard size.)

The Secret Grip for putters is available in three sizes (Classic, Midsize and Jumbo) and three weights (100g, 155g and 165g).

I did not independently verify these weights. I hope this information is useful.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home).  Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections.  Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars).  Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green.  Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
