Swing Weight

Swing weight expresses how heavy the head feels relative to the rest of the club, on a scale such as C9 or D3.

01 / Why it matters

It affects tempo, sequencing and the golfer's sense of where the head is during the swing.

02 / Performance impact

Changing length, grip weight or head weight all shift swing weight, so one specification change usually requires another.

03 / Common misconception

Swing weight is not the same as total weight; two clubs of identical total weight can feel very different.

04 / How TruePath considers it

Swing weight is balanced across the recommended set so that clubs feel related to one another.

Should swing weight be identical through the bag?
Usually consistent, with deliberate variation in wedges and long clubs.
