I used to be very meticulous about grip weight when building a set but have since decided that grip weight isn't that big of a factor because the weight is in your hands. For example, does wearing a ring or watch affect your swing speed or sequence? I tried using a strip of lead tape (approx 8 grams = 2 swing weight points) and held it in my hands against the grip and made a bunch of shots. For me, it didn't make a difference. Since then I just build my clubs without grips to E-1 (ends up being D-2 with a 50g grip) and I just get whatever grip I want.

Thank You. Maybe you are the the first ClubFitter who accepts its possible for someone (me) to swing faster with a heavier swing weight. Too many Club Fitters quickly dismiss Heavier swing weights will automatically produce a slower swing/ballspeed. No it doesn't not for for everyone. Some feel more confident they can swing faster and also get a more accurate dispersion pattern.

Thanks! I've got the TM Mini BRNR (~D3 S. weight). I cut shafts for the AI Smoke, SW's C6.6 (S65 shaft), C4.5 (S55 Shaft)...I'd like to bring them into D. I'll check grips (I think I can go lighter) & lead tape. Recommendations? As I already epoxied the cogs on. I did buy tip weights. Should've used them, I guess.

Fantastic

Is it weird to be used to lighter swing weights? I came from older ping irons and newer clubs feels so weird.

RB, you didn't explicitly go there, but I would assume that 5 grams at the grip end is much less critical than 5 grams at the head end, since it is further from the balance point. Is that the case?

@cubuffs4life275 4 ай бұрын

Yes. 2 grams at the head end affect SW by 1 point while it takes about 4 grams at the butt end to change SW 1 point.

if I may ask how do you know what the right swing weight is for a set of clubs? is it dettermined by the set itself or the golfer? Lts say you were building a set for a customer where do you personally begin when it comes to swing weight?

It is a process started with some experience swinging. SW is not a perfect number but more of a refinement. Extremes on either ends should be avoided at random. Normally, D0 is a good starting point.
