Swing Weight Chart
Swingweight is not an absolute measurement of weight but rather a representation of the relationship between the amount of weight in the bottom two thirds of a golf club compared to the top third of a golf club.
Swing weight chart. The swing weight of a golf club specifies how heavy the club feels to a player swinging it. Swing weights range fro m a0 at the lightest to g10 at the heaviest with most men s clubs coming in around d0 to d2 and women s clubs weighing c5 to c7. And because the swing weight fitting process has to also include the flex bend profile and weight of the shaft the fitter knows that he will be switching between the different shafts he has evaluated as suitable for the golfer while he is also performing the add a little weight at a time to the club head evaluation to determine the best head weight feel for the golfer. From a players perspective this translates to how the weight of the club feels during a players swing.
5 of our 6 testers saw their median club speed drop when moving from a swing weight of d0 light to d9 heavy. Swing weight is measured on a swing weight scale and is referenced with an alphanumeric code. In the case of swing weight however there is a clearer relationship between weight and speed. The six testers lost an average of 2 75 mph a very significant amount of club head speed especially with an iron.
A club with more of its mass concentrated in the club head has a higher swing weight and requires more energy for the golfer to swing it at a specific speed. Swing weight relates not only to the club s weight but also to the distribution of the weight. Altering the swing weight by changing the shaft s weight is a little trickier but you will increase the swing weight by approximately one unit for each 9 grams of weight you add to the shaft.
