Maintaining constant weight or swingweight
I was privy to a little discussion the other day about frequency matching a set of Titleist DCI 762's with True Temper Black Golds at 1" over standard with a midsize 61 gram grip. The one fellow said the best he could do was to maintain 8 grams apart in head weight from the 5 iron to the 55º Vokey Wedge. Although the swingweights were quite skewed. The irons were C9 to D1 but the wedges were; PW D8, 50º D7, 55º E1.
So, my question is what is the priority when it comes down to playability, Maintaining the 8 gram gap between the heads or going for the Swingweight target number, which in this case is D4?
I guess the underlining question I have is really how many CPM's will change when he adjusts for the swingweight and how will that effect the ball flight? Just how many Cycles are in question when it comes to hitting a draw or a fade??? Or can we simply get to anal about it all?[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Play it as it lies...[/COLOR][/FONT]

Are the wedges made to constant length or descending length.
Rule of Thumb > 1 swt. point will change cpm by about 1 cycle.
Are they using 2-iron blanks for the TT Black Gold shafts or a bagged set from TT?
Some bagged set are very inconsistent on weight and frequency and hard to tell
once they are cut by the factory. I bought 1 bagged set and NEVER again.
Your question is probably very dependent on who is hitting the golf ball.Kind regards, Harry

Besides, we are talking here about butt frequency only and not about the overall shaft profile.
Mouse farts, I say.

They are a set. The wedges are all 37". The 3 iron shaft was used in the 5 iron head, and so on down the line.
BC, So, adding 10 grams to get to D4 is no problem?[FONT=Comic Sans MS][COLOR=blue]Play it as it lies...[/COLOR][/FONT]
