Pre-Calculating Swingweight

*The shaft swingweight equivalent is for illustration purposes only. Unlike the other three factors, as shaft weight changes its effect on swingweight changes at a disproportionate rate. For estimation purposes, however, the above shaft weight to swingweight equivalent is acceptable.

Raw Shaft Weight is based on a 45" UDWS (parallel tip True Temper Dynamic S-flex for woods) and a 39" UDIC (parallel tip True Temper Dynamic S-flex for irons). With proper trimming and installation, each shaft's weight will drop slightly through the set. Grip weight is basded onthe average weight of an M58 Golf Pride Men's Green Victory rubber grip. Although both the UDWS and UDIC shafts possess .600" butt diameters, most clubmakers purchase M58 (.580 core) grips. Therefore, the above chart reflects the installation of a .580 core grip. Traditionally the sand wedge and pitching wedge are designed to play at higher swingweights than the 1-9 irons. Shaft balance point is a paramenter that is dependent upon specific shaft trimming. This shaft characteristic may have an impact on swingweight as well, particularly with a tip heavy or butt heavy design. This table appeared in Clubmaker's Digest, Vol 11, Number 4. Issue No. 90
