What is swing weight in golf?

Swing weight is a measurement of how the weight of a golf club feels when you swing it. It is not the total weight, but rather a measure of the club's balance point, primarily influenced by the weight of the club head.

How is swing weight measured?

It is measured on a special scale with a fulcrum point 14 inches from the butt end of the grip. The measurement is expressed in an alphanumeric code, such as C9, D2, or E1.

Why is swing weight important?

A consistent swing weight across all clubs in a set helps promote a consistent feel and swing. Matching a club's swing weight to a player's preference can improve timing, rhythm, and confidence.

What do the swing weight values (e.g., D2) mean?

The scale runs from A0 (lightest feel) to G9 (heaviest feel). The letter (A-G) represents a range, and the number (0-9) is a fine-tuning step within that range. D2 is a very common swing weight for men's standard drivers and irons.
