Default Getting Up To 4.0 With Lead Tape

Another method to get up to 4.0 really quickly and easily is lead tape. You can find this in most any golf shop, tennis shops have it too. It's simple to use, cuts with scissors, appx. one inch equals 1/2 gram in weight.

Apply it to the bottom of the players platform, you can trim off the extra if you are a little heavy with an exacto knife. You can also add the weight where ever you feel it will perform the best, left side, right side, back or front, etc...

We are playing 4.0 total weight, the player and base are not weighed apart and this is a quick and easy way to get up to weight.

I have to thank Eric Robinson and Dave Campbell for turning me onto this. I used to use the putty method, but I personally find this to be easier, that's just me, no offense to anyone using the putty method.

Here are some pics as I experimented with some RB and WR weights tonight.

If you play in different leagus the stuff peels right off and you are back where you started.

There should be no reason to cry foul about getting a team up to weight, between the blue putty and the lead tape, they are painless and removable.

Jimbo and I have mentioned this to each other in a previous post, I like linemen at 4.0 but other positions between 3.5 and 3.8, of course there are a lot of variables, but you get the picture.

Going 4.0 is a breeze, so you will have to come up with other reasons for not liking it now.
