Let me emphasize the word attempt! Swingweight Swingweight is an attempt to quantify the heft of a golf club, as itĪffects both the feel and the physics. Exactly! But how much lighter? That is the subject of this section. Oh! Well then, how about making the head lighter as the club gets longer.Ī. As you make the club longer, it will feel more head-heavy and will release differently. The real problem is that there is a length progression across the set. Well, it would if all clubs were the same length. The same shaft weight, and the same grip weight. Make all the clubs with the same head weight, and Total weight alone doesn't reflect what the golfer feels Well, you can do that and still have major differences in theīalance point. Why not just make all the clubs the same weight?Ī. Together, these constitute the 'heft' of the club. Performance: specifically, how does the placement of mass affect the timing of the release?
Swingweight is an attempt to reflect a couple of important propertiesįeel: specifically, how head-heavy is the club?
