Swing/Club weights.. Do you know yours and does it make a difference.

Swing weights... had to google it first. There is plenty info out there.



I was looking at my current clubs and noticed that the pro had recorded the swing weights for my club. Most of them conform to what I would expect. However,
1) My most consistent club is my 4H .. and it is a C8... Almost technically a woman's club. Thankfully I am in still in touch with my feminine side.
2) My most difficult club is my 3W (as seen at the TM Back2Future session)... and it is the heaviest .. E0!!!

So my manhood has been tested twice in 2 weeks.. At the TM B2F day, I realised I should not use a stiff shaft for my 3W and now I know I have been swinging a woman's club..

.. there is no justice in this game. I need new kit.

I have just got new irons and wedges but all my outgoing clubs were D3. Its what feels right to me. I shall do the same with the new kit at some point.

When I had my Titleist 913 I purchased the weight kit so I can tinker with the weight settings. The club comes with a 9gram red dot weight as standard, after hitting balls at the range I opted for the lighter 4gram White dot weight.

You could feel the difference when swinging the club.

My irons are all D3/4s and they all work for me. At the TM B2F day I preferred the RSi1 to AeroBurner as they felt lighter (though i dont know their weights). As I have never been fitted for a club, I had never considered weights as an option. But this will be on my list along with shaft, lofts & lies..

RSi come with a kbs 105 shaft I think. The aeroburner range is all about lighter heads to create swingspeed so those thought would make sense.

Total weight and swing weight are very different things

I have no idea, I just hit a ball. Would love to think I need tweaking but I'm probably mr generic

This is a good way of measuring your swingweights

In process of adjusting mine just now. My new irons are at d3 and feel a tad heavy. They are quarter inch long though. So by bringing them down to standard length it will reduce the swingweight by 1.5

No idea. I go on what feels right, what shaft I feel I control best and what head suits my eye.
