15 years of fitting I've seen many that it makes a huge difference and
many that it makes no difference at all. Of course everything in
between. With some I've seen 2 grams make a significant difference.
Based on my experience it depends on the golfer. That is why I test
everyone for changes in weight by wrapping lead tape around the hosel.

Here’s a snippet from Golf Digest’s article about Ron Pampling’s clubs
this past weekend.
"Interestingly, according to Srixon, they almost never use hosel plugs
in builds as it can throw off the center of gravity location and the
balance of the clubface. If clubs need additional weight they will
normally use a heavier weight clubhead and lead tape to achieve it.”
I find it hard to believe that 4g in the tip of the shaft would throw
off balance and gravity to the extent that it would be worrisome.
What do you all think?
