Golf club swing weights of women golf drivers, woods, irons and wedges explained. It is good to know that studying this feature of ladies golf clubs is not an absolute must for recreational women. Although I like to describe it here, because a lot of merchants talk about it. And this specification shows how the club is balanced in relation to the head. To say it simple in other words: swing weight is how your lady golf clubs feel on your downswing.



Now some technical and educational bits to bite in: the golf club swing weights are expressed according to a letter and number combination scale invented by the famous club maker Robert Adams in the roaring twenties of the previous century.

The letters are A, B, C, D, E, F and G. The numbers are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. This special feature is measured by the overall feel of the basic swing components: the shaft, and the head.

The lower the swing weight measurement, for example C5 for a woman, the lighter the club feels to you at the Moment of Intertia - the moment of impact when you make your downswing. And another simple rule to remember when you look at discount offers: the heavier the head, the shorter the clubs.

Most lady golf clubs are in the lightweighted C and D-range. Low handicappers and pros tend to have heavier clubs due to their higher swing speeds. They often choose for steel shafts, because steel weights more than graphite.

My advice is: be sure all your golf equipment - that is to say, especially the driver, woods and irons - do match as much as possible in your natural swing. If they feel the same, the it's okay. In general, these two rules could guide you:

I recommend for fast swing speed golfers a heavier swing weight.

And for average players with a slow speed who are just playing for recreational purposes: choose lighter golf club swing weights.
