Thanks to Golfworks and others I’m doing all repairs and builds for my local club!

I have a player who wanted a lighter build. I started him with a Nippon 950 regular steel, and the TS2 model. Initially I made a 6 and 7 iron with no weights at all. SW was around D-0. He played in warmer, then cooler weather. Lie adjustment was 2 degrees upright.
Now the player can’t feel the club head in his swing. Would best practice be to gradually weight with lead tape, then weigh the tape; or I could go with 2 gram weights, then check the impact ? Thanks all.

You’re right on track with your thinking.

How about shaft weight? What weight shaft was he playing prior to this?

Using lead tape in small increments to find out when he can start feeling the head is a good way to do it. Once that point is found, you can asses the ball flight and face impact to determine if the head shaft combination and new head weight are dialed in. Remember, every two grams you add to the head weight makes the shaft play approx. 1/10th of a flex weaker.
