    (1) Yes it will make a difference

    (2) Try tape on the sole as Tiger does

    You sure that's Tiger's putter L.O.F.T? There are a lot of replicas out there and I'm pretty sure Tiger wouldn't put lead tape on his putter.

    Was thinking of doing something similar to my putter just to see if additional weight will help particularly on the shorter putts.
    So where would you buy lead tape from?

    Try American Golf.......they don't have tape but they do have self-adhesive weights.

    Or try a pro-shop. They may give you a small strip.

    Try a glaziers shop or builders merchants for the lead tape, they use it for fake panneled windows. I bought a 5 yard roll of it a few years ago for 8 euro.
