It's amazing how significant a difference 8 grams came make in golf and our swings.If you decide to change the weights later on, this info may be of some help: The heaviest of my (2) Retail 430 heads, with the stock 16-gram silver weight beneath the blue slider, a loose shaft adapter attached, and (2) of the 2-gram rubber tungsten weights installed was weighed on a calibrated gram scale and the weight was a very hefty 212 grams. (According to the online calculator that's a E-3 swingweight with the stock 430 TP shaft and grip). That is the reason why I chose to go with the lighter 8-gram silver replacement weight rather than either the 10-gram or 12-gram replacement weights. Bringing the clubhead weight down to 204 grams made it a D-8 swingweight which is more manageable for my swing.
If you don't have a gram scale handy to weigh your own 430 clubhead, just use 212 grams in the swingweight calculator since yours must be very close to that.
As mentioned earlier, swingweight is often a matter of personal preference, so whatever "feels" best to you, will likely perform best too. You'll know soon enough if its too heavy.
As you have proved to me anyway. 2 grams strategically placed can be night and day. I'm I'm awe.
Thanks
