What is Swingweight?
Swingweight tells you how heavy a golf club feels when you swing it. It’s not the same as the club’s overall weight. Instead, swingweight focuses on how the weight is distributed from the grip to the clubhead.
Why is swingweight important? Because it affects how well you can control the club and how much power you can generate. A perfectly dialed-in swingweight can lead to improved accuracy, better distance, and more consistent shots. It’s a vital element in getting your clubs properly fitted and customized to your swing.
