Customer Reviews
A little sticky, but easy enough to use.The putty is sticky, so I weighed it on out a small piece of plastic wrap and then wrapped the putty around the plastic before inserting it into the butt of my racquet. This should keep it tidy and it will be easier to remove or add to the putty if I want to make a change later.

Great for adding weight to handleMore dense than blue tac and good for 20ish additions. Very tacky and needs to be covered with saran wrap or foil.

10/10, would buy again every timeIt’s so good for tail-weighting. Very little is needed to properly tail weight, and I used it to help spec my racquets and I loved it. You can grab bits of it to add to the overall weight of the putty, and then you wrap it in some material so it doesn’t go everywhere and then stick it onto the staples within the handle.

Good for adding weight to handleI added this behind the trap door in three of my racquets and got my racquets more headlight while also counterbalancing some weight added to the hoop. This product doesn't rub off color on your hands like some tungsten putty sold for other applications like fishing and derby cars. You may lose a small amount of product that is stuck to the plastic wrapping inside the container.

Easy as pieI have no problem using this stuff, used to wrap handles with lead, or stick lead strips vertical on the handles, ball the lead up and stick it in butt cap. I find this to be more accurate because you can just keep adding it to the scale until you reach your desired weight. Give it a shot, but you might want to wrap it in something in the butt cap. I may try saran wrap.
Previous Feedback
Comments: I bought this years ago, but I just noticed the feedback button and figured I'd give you my two cents. I found this putty to be too hard to even use. It just wasn't malleable at all, certainly not enough to tear off a piece, mold it, and put it in the butt of the racquet. By the way, I'm a big fan of your site.

Comments: There is a rib or long staples in the butt cap area. I take the required amount of putty and mold it into a rectangular shape and wrap cotton wool around the putty. I then wedge it into the space against the staples and/or rib. So far, I have not had any issues with the putty leaking (the softer compositions tend to melt and spread) as it is held in by the cotton wool. This means I can also remove the putty easily. Only issue is that no amount of effort removes the cotton wool entirely from the putty.

Comments: You must wrap it in something before putting it in the racquet. Otherwise the centripetal force from repeated swings and impacts will droop/smear the putty along the inside of the handle. Once that happens, the weight will be all over the place, completely throwing off the balance. I added this putty to my 3 Aero Pro Drives and even though they felt the same right after modification, they now all feel different. One APD swings significantly heavier and gave me wrist pain until I figured out this is the issue. What's worse is there is no way to clean up the mess inside the handle to reverse this, and I now have 3 racquets with swingweights all over the place.

Note from TW: Hi Derek, We recommend always using a cotton ball to either sink the putty in or sandwich the putty between so there are no issues with the tungsten traveling through the handle or into the racquet. TW Staff
Comments: Game-changer! I stuffed two boxes of this into the handle of a Gamma Bubba 137. It turned it from a head-heavy grandpa stick into the most potent head-light player's stick I've ever used, bar none!
