Swingweight is also known as the “feel” weight of the club. To determine the feel, simply hold the club waist high and note how heavy the head feels. Some golf clubs will have a heavier swingweight than others by design. Variables in swingweight can result from length of the club, shaft material used, head weight, and grip weight.

 

Players with slower swing speeds will generally benefit from lighter clubs and those with faster speeds will require a heavier swingweight. You want to play a club that is as light as possible without giving up feel. This will help you optimize club speed without sacrificing too much control.
