01 / Why it matters
Weight affects tempo, control and where the golfer senses the head through the swing.
Shaft Weight
Shaft weight is the mass of the shaft in grams and is one of the strongest influences on how a club feels and sequences.
02 / Performance impact
Lighter shafts can add speed but may reduce control for aggressive tempos. Heavier shafts often steady delivery at some cost in speed.
03 / Common misconception
Shaft weight is not determined by swing speed alone; tempo and transition matter at least as much.
04 / How TruePath considers it
Weight is selected from tempo, control preference and speed together, then reconciled with swing weight and length.
