Weight driver

A heavier or higher swing weight typically offers better feel and fits faster swing speed players. The swingweight measurements can be used as a point of reference to determine how heavy or light a golf driver feels to the golfer swinging them.

Swingweight or "feel" is why we use golf shafts with varying weights. Our golf shaft weights, for example: Regular flex 60 grams, Stiff flex 62 grams. Using variable shaft weights creates a swingweight that feels good for each golfers swing speed. The smaller driver head allows for better workability off the tee.

While the larger head offers the average golfer a more forgiving option in your long game. The faster swinging players among us may opt for a stiffer flex shaft, while moderate swingers are better suited to a regular flex option.

Ladies and senior flex shafts were designed for the slow swinging golfers among us, to help them generate more clubhead and ball speed. If you decide on a driver with a head around the g mark, it is advisable to fit it with a heavier shaft. Otherwise, the club may be too light overall and could see you sky drives, and gain an excessive spin on tee shots. Heavier driver heads are better suited to lighter shafts, so as not to overweight the club.

The CG is also known as the balance point of the club, and can be placed low, high, or on the heel or toe of the driver. Drivers that have the CG placed low and at the back of the head, are crafted to launch higher and accelerate spin. Clubs with a forward CG, offer accelerated ball speeds, lower spin, and less forgiveness. Golfers that have no problem in getting the ball in the air, may not want a weakened loft, to minimize the chance of skying drives and losing distance.

Slower swinging golfers that struggle with consistent carry and total distance, may prefer a weaker loft to help them with launch.

On average, the lofts of drivers range from 8 degrees to 11 degrees. Swing weight determines the heaviness of your club when you swing it. While head weight determines the load of the driver head. The swing weight scale ranges from A0 to G A0 is the lightest swing weight, while G10 is the heaviest on the scale. To put it into context, a swing weight of D0 on average translates to 4 grams less of clubhead weight than D2. You will realize that your swing weight is too light if you are unable to achieve a consistent swing tempo, or gain any control of the club.

As a result, you are likely to find yourself topping the ball or hitting it in the teeth more often than not. Finally, a light swing weight can cause players to over-exert themselves on the downswing, due to a lack of feel, causing the ball to fly in all directions. Your swing weight may be too heavy for your game if you find yourself consistently pushing shots off the tee.

The additional swing weight prevents you from being able to swing through the ball, resulting in an open clubface at impact. Those of you playing with heavy shafts will notice a reduction in your clubhead speed, which may prevent you from generating accelerated ball speeds.
