Large and easy-to-read scale for swingweight and total club weight measurements. Cradle allows quick weighing of components in both grams and ounces. Great for the hobbyist or occasional user. Measures: . Total weight . Swingweight at 14” fulcrum point . Individual component weights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is swingweight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwingweight 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom a players perspective this translates to how the weight of the club \"feels\" during a players swing. If the club is too heavy the player will find it hard to swing and will tire during the round. Conversely a club that is too light will be harder to control and keep on the correct path throughout the swing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn both cases an incorrect swingweight for an individuals swing and tempo will lead to increased off centre strikes and inconsistent results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat factors impact swingweight?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factors that impact the swingweight of a club are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe weight of the clubhead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe weight of the grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe length of the club\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe weight of the shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to remember that changing any of the factors listed above will change the swingweight and therefore the feel of the club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn accepted rule of thumb is that increasing or decreasing the weight of the clubhead by 2 grams will increase or decrease the swingweight by 1 and the same impact would be achieved by adding or subtracting 5 grams to or from the grip and 9 grams to or from the shaft. Altering the length of the shaft by 1\/2 an inch will move the swingweight +\/- 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it measured?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwingweight is measured using a specially designed swingweight scale invented by clubmaker Robert Adams in the early 1930's, which contains a fulcrum and a sliding weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe golf club is placed on top of the scale and the sliding counter weight adjusted until the club is in balance. The position of this sliding weight against the swingweight scale indicates the swingweight of the club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe most popularly used swingweight scale is known as the 14 inch scale which indicates the distance of the fulcrum from the butt end of the club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat do the values mean\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe swingweight scale goes from A-F with ten increments marked 0 to 9 within each letter category hence swingweights such as C9 or D3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe greater the letter and the number the heavier the swingweight. Therefore a swingweight of D2 is heavier than a swingweight of C8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn average off the shelf men's golf club would have a swingweight of around D0 whilst the standard manufactured swingweight for ladies club is approximately C6.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GolfWorks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40799251398842,"sku":"NESC","price":310.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0515\/9013\/5994\/products\/nesc.jpg?v=1638148739","url":"https:\/\/www.augolf.com.au\/products\/golfworks-v-line-pro-swing-weight-scale-aussie-stock-fast-dispatch-1","provider":"AUGolf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
