How Do I Increase My Swingweight?
The club feels too light in your hands, you cut the club shorter for more control, added a heavier grip, re-shafted with a lighter shaft or the swingweights were not a consistent in your set, these are all reasons why you might need to add weight to a golf club head. Here are some tips for properly adding weight to help balance your clubs and improve performance and confidence.
Experiment at the Range
If the swingweight of all your clubs are all over the place and you hit them well, is there any reason to change? Good question. You really won't know unless you try by adding weight first and hitting balls at the range or on the practice putting green to see if you can notice any improvement. If you don't hit the clubs as well as you think, there is even more of an argument to experiment with a few clubs. The best part is it requires very little equipment or time and if you find increasing head weight doesn't help, it is very easily remedied by simply removing the weight.

What happens to the swing weight with a lighter weight golf shaft?
Some golfers assume if the shaft is lighter, a higher percentage of the weight is concentrated near the head resulting into an increase in swing weight (or spelled swingweight). However, that is not the case and let us show you why. If you look carefully at a golf swing weight scale, there is a fulcrum point or position that club pivots around located 14" from the end of the grip. That is a constant.
