A table displaying the relationship between a golf club’s measured swing weight and how it feels to a golfer provides a crucial tool for club fitting. This table typically lists swing weights (e.g., C9, D0, D2, etc.) alongside corresponding descriptions of how heavy or light the club will feel during the swing. For example, a D2 swing weight might be described as feeling “standard” for many golfers, while a C9 would be considered “very light.” Understanding these relationships allows golfers and club fitters to optimize club performance.
Matching a golfer’s physical characteristics and swing dynamics to the appropriate club weight is fundamental to achieving optimal distance and accuracy. Utilizing this resource can help prevent common issues such as inconsistent ball striking caused by a club that is too heavy or too light. Historically, swing weight has been a key element in club fitting, offering a quantifiable measure to guide the customization process. A well-fitted club improves control, timing, and overall swing efficiency, leading to a more satisfying and successful golfing experience.
