Grip Weighted Golf ClubsGrip or butt weighting golf clubs are not the ideal way to go. All that you really do is "fool" the swingweight scale into a lower reading.The problem is that while the club will measure lower on the swingweight scale, it will also have a higher total weight. Generally speaking, this will slow down your swing speed, which in turn will result in shorter distances. Also, the club to club total weight increment will not be consistant. Remember, consistency from club to club is really what we are shooting for. There are, however, occasions when you might want to butt weight your golf clubs. For instance, maybe you have a very high swing speed but very little control. Adding to your total weight on the grip end of the club might slow down your swing enough to regain some control.
To add weight to the grip end, you will need some butt weight ports. You will need to epoxy these into the grip end of the shaft. Next, you can fill the ports with either tungsten or lead powder. On the grip end of the club, it takes 4 grams of weight to lower the swingweight of the club by 1 point. You may also want to add some epoxy to the powder to keep it from rattling around. Don't forget to take into consideration the weight of the grips and grip tape when estimating how much powder to add.
