I touched upon this in the 'bought today' thread, but wanted to get more views on it as my understanding of swingweight and so on is slim to none.
In my desperation to fix my driving this year, I'm experimenting with changing the screw-in weight in my driver. Using the SFT, the draw weight is 22g by default, I've replaced that with a 28g weight now. What effects should I expect to see? Obviously the intention is to add slightly more draw-bias, to help me square the face up by a degree or two. But I have read ideas about 'increasing swingweight' - what effect could that have? Less distance because the head is heavier? Maybe more because the weight distribution is moved to the end and you get more momentum?
I did try it on the driving range last night, but I honestly didn't really feel or notice much difference. On the course tomorrow might give me a better idea. But it still felt like I was swinging the same driver, the extra 6g didn't seem to make a radical difference.
I see swingweight is usually written as 'D2' 'D3' and so on. What do those letters and numbers even mean? I have no idea.
