hole in the sole??

Picked up a Callaway Legacy Tour V head. There is a very small hole in the sole near the heel. Only about 1/8" in diameter but it puzzled me. I was told it's for adding hotmelt and leaving it open will not affect playbility at all.
Cover it with lead tape? Any thoughts / opinions?

Yeah it's a hotmelt hole. the best looking way to take care of it is to make a little plastic piece just like the one taken out for the hotmelt, glue it over the hotmelt hole and then use steel wool glass cleaner. (has to be the steel wool that cleans glass. anything else will scratch it up) then just dip the steel wool in some acetone and sand the new plastic piece flush with the head. I hit a legacy tour today with a miyazaki blue shaft in it today. the cpm was a little soft for me but i still killed it. great combo!

I've had small access holes bored into older heads to hotmelt, and you can cover them with a small piece of lead tape if the cosmetic aspect doesn't bother you. Another thing you can do that isn't quite as easy but it works just fine is to mix a small amount of the black quickset or 30/60 epoxy and mix it up. Then take a qtip with the tip end trimmed off and dip up a small dab, then "drip" that dab onto a piece of backing from a kids pack of stickers or something similar, and allow the little dot to cure a little until it's slightly firm. Then you can separate it carefully from the sticker backing and dab it on the hole. Press a little to just push it into the hole slightly and allow it to cure fully. You can then trim it down a little with a hobby knife.
