A pressure-sensitive hot melt is the best for weighting clubs because it has some flex to it, meaning when someone hits the golf ball, the hot melt won't crack and rattle around.

NEW: Infinity Bond Advanced Hot Melt Golf Club Weighting Kit

The Glue Gun

This cartridge-based hot melt gun heats the pressure-sensitive hot melt adhesive cartridge while attached to a corded stand. The gun can then be removed and used cordlessly to apply the adhesive. We strongly recommend a full 15 minutes of preheating before applying adhesive and reheating the cartridge if it’s off the stand for more than 3 minutes.

The Adhesive

The adhesive for this system is a pressure-sensitive hot melt. That means that it remains tacky and flexible even after being heated and dispensed. This type of adhesive is the industry standard in golf club weighting because it will not get brittle and become detached inside the club head.

The cartridge is a 50-gram tube designed specifically for this glue gun and it has a 3" copper nozzle. For best results, you may want to heat the nozzle separately with a flame or torch while the cartridge is being heated in the gun. This is not necessary, but will give the longest working time and smoothest dispensing. Learn about Advanced Replacement Cartridges.

Features

  • Use: Golf Club Weighting
  • Includes: 50-Gram Cartridge with 3" Nozzle

Kit includes

  • New, durable hot melt glue gun
  • Single 50-gram pressure-sensitive adhesive cartridge with 3” nozzle
