One thing is for sure, far too many DIY and experienced club builders worry way too much about swingweight. SW was invented OH so long ago to try and make clubs MOI matched, but with the limited technologies using the 14" fulcrum and a balance was the best they could do. It is why some people like certain irons more than others, it's not because the SW's don't match it's because the MOI is different. Let's say someone's favorite club is their 8 iron, and it is D3 and 36.5" long with a DG S300. Many assume making a 6 iron 37.5 long with a DGS300 that is D3 will swing the same. It will measure the same on a SW scale, that's about it. A MOI scale is expensive, even today, and since SW in ingrained in people's minds as the end all be all manufacturers still use it. There are ways to MOI match and get very close without buying a MOI scale.What do you think? Accurate or far fetched?
6 mistakes that DIY club builders make when building golf clubs
In this article, we look at 6 of the biggest mistakes that home club builders make when building and repairing golf clubs by themselves.golf.com
I think some is accurate, but I find it hard to believe that they're serious about some of that... or that they even know what they're talking about at some points.
If those Muira bothered you then my wedges will drive you insane. I play my 7 iron a bit long and do 1/4 increments and my irons are MOI matched. These are previous years wedges I have had, and yes I removed weight from down in the hosel as well. Some as you can see the weight was removed with only a drill and not the drill press. Some of these were also where I was playing around with CoG locations and removed a ton of weight and had added back in other places with lead tape. Removing and then adding weight in other places is the best way to move CoG in an iron head, just adding weight ends up putting the headweight too high most of the time and not moving the CoG much.As someone who is trying to learn about the "mechanics" of club building and I'm still very very green with it, The picture of the Miura at the begin of the article made me even cringe.
Diamond Tour and Monarch as well.hahahaha awesome!
Where do you guys buy blank shafts? Never seen them on sale
Truth right here, I was thinking the same thing.The ferrule thing is so true. I hate turning ferrules because one little mistake is so obvious and the only right way to fix is pull the shaft and redo.
