Putter Swing Weight Question | Golf Monthly

Swingweight is a measure of how the weight of the components of a club (the head, shaft, grip, epoxy, grip tape, etc) are distributed across its length. Its measured on a special scale that uses a fixed fulcrum point to balance the club which is usually at 14". The measurement is a letter and a number, e.g. A1, B2, etc. A1 feels very light to swing moving up towards E1 which feels very heavy to swing. Swingweight shouldn't be confused with the actual static weight of a club - what this measures is how heavy or light the overall club feels when you are swinging it above your head. Its a good way of ensuring club sets are built consistently throughout a set and most mens sets are built to a D1 or D2 level. Ladies will typically be C6 to C9.

Although all of the clubs will feel the same when swinging, each club will require slightly more/less swing effort than another in the set. Which is why some people prefer their clubs to be MoI matched, but that's for another essay..........

I can tell your falling asleep! :whoo:
