Swing Weight Golf Clubs - Tip Weighting After Assembly

To do this there is some disassembly involved.  You will need to remove your old grips.  If the grips are brand new, there are ways of removing them without destroying them.  If they are worn I would suggest doing a golf grip replacement.  Regripping golf clubs is really not that hard.

Once you have removed your grips and you have your golf club grip replacement on hand you can now proceed with swingweighting them.

Tip weighting clubs after assembly:

Typically what I do prior to swingweighting my clubs is to measure all of my clubs on my swingweight scale.  This includes the new grip and as many layers of tape as will be needed.

Balancing the grip tape and the grip on top of the shaft can be a bit tricky.  I usually end up wasting a little tape in the process, but it is worth it because I will have a much better idea of what my final swingweight will be. 

Once everything is balanced on your scale go ahead and take your reading.  You should do this for all of your clubs before figuring out any weight that needs to be added. 

Once all of your data is recorded, look at your heaviest swingweight.  Compare this number to the number that you are shooting for.  If the swingweight you want is greater than or equal your largest recorded number then you won't have to butt weight anything. 

When you swing weight golf clubs, butt weighting is something you really want to avoid, because while it will reduce your swingweight it will add to the total weight of your golf club, which will slow down your swing speed.  I would rather change my target swingweight to my greatest recorded weight than butt weight any of my clubs. 

To bring your other clubs up to your target swingweight, find the difference between your recorded swingweight and your target.  Lets say D1 is your target and your club measures C8.  This is a 3 point difference. 

When tip weighting, 2 grams of additional weight equals 1 swingweight point.  So in our example, we will need to add 6 grams of weight to the tip.

You can purchase either lead or tungsten powder some small corks to add to the tip of the golf club.  There are different sized corks for irons and woods. 

You will also need an accurate scale so you can weigh the lead or tungsten powder.  Once you have the 6 grams of powder weighed out, pour it down the shaft.

Now take a cork and insert it into into the shaft.  Using a long ram rod push it down as far as you can. 

You can now regrip your golf clubs.
