How Much Does Shaft Weight Affect Swing Speed at Suzanne White blog

How Much Does Shaft Weight Affect Swing Speed. Our panel of leading shaft makers and club fitters will explain. Today we’re discussing weight, which is at once a simpler and more complex topic.  — in our first two editions of shafts 101, we discussed shaft flex and torque. These characteristics are pretty much the easiest to measure since all that is required is a scale and a knife edge (or 2 scales). 5 of our 6 testers saw their median club speed drop when moving from a swing weight of d0 (light) to d9 (heavy).  — mucklow’s research shows finding the proper weight shaft can boost swing speed by 1 to 1.5 miles per hour—that equates to a gain of two to four yards on a tee shot. a key factor in maximizing swing speed is maximizing muscle activation, which is why certain golfers can swing heavier shafts faster than lighter shafts. See if you have a strong preference for the way one feels versus the others, or, if you, like some of our testers, can find a marked performance benefit by going lighter or heavier with your shaft selection.  — the swing weight affects the club’s feel during the swing, as a lighter swing weight allows for faster clubhead speed, while a heavier swing weight provides more control and stability. Everyone knows what weight is, but how does shaft weight affect the swing?  — in the case of swing weight, however, there is a clearer relationship between weight and speed. Slightly heavier shafts can activate additional muscle groups, effectively “turning on” more speed in a golfer’s swing. Both metal wood and iron shafts can come in a range of weights and balance points.
