It's legal, but I wouldn't use it as a permanent solution. (I'd use lead tape as a permanent solution). The weights on my putter use a pair of set screws to hold the weight in. If a weight comes out during a round, I'm allowed to replace it penalty free. I'm not allowed to change it's placement (or put a different weighted weight in, however).

Well, I had an Odyssey 2 ball blade. It's total weight wsa 316g. The Triad 2 with the screws in, but EEE weighting (empty) is 316g.
I use EST weighting in my T2 - for a total mass of 480g. (This also doubles the MOI value). The putter feels much, much more solid, easier to track on line, and I find it promotes a real shoulder rock stroke rather than something that can be manipulated by the hands. Yes, I'll admit that for short putts I'll grip down to make the putter feel lighter (with the metric ton of MOI at a full-length gripping, I need to choke down to make a proper stroke. Otherwise I either leave it short, or crank it long. It's akin to choking down for a half-swing shot with the other
clubs - it offers much more control over both distance and accuracy).
The bottom line is, it can't hurt to try it. It's like trying to counsel a person with multiple addictions - you can't mess them up any more than they are right now, so you might as well try.
