What swing weight should I choose?

[sillywilly]

I dont' have time to get fit as I need a new set of irons asap. Chief is putting the set together for me and said he would SW match them. He said he could MOI them as well but I don't see the point as I don't have a fav club to match it to and swing all my clubs equally badly. SO, without seeing my swing and knowing that I hit a 6i 170 yards, hit the ball to high... can someone recommend a SW for me? even if its just a best guess i'm ok with that. better than not matching at all in case I want to resell right? should I just go standard?

If there were some irons you hit well in the past perhaps you could see what the SW was for those and use that.

Go with C-4. You'll be bombing them.

Make sure if you use C-4 that it is mostly in the tip and not the butt, that could be disastrous.

hacker told me to make sure I got it in the butt... why would he tell me the complete opposite? Is he trying to screw me over?

[sillywilly]

can someone explain what a C4 is and why it would help me hit it farther?

Dooooode... C4 is dynamite....

Good one Silly!!

Seriously (for a minute), does anybody really care about swing weight anymore?

I am under the (perhaps mistaken) impression that it was a silly ploy that made little or no difference (except in conversation), and had gone the way of the Dodo.

Is it just me?

Cheers!

I only told you that because I know that is your preferred way to roll..............

It was one way of matching feel throughout the set. MOI matching requires the same effort with all clubs. I would not discard sw just yet as good players have scored very well using sw matched clubs. In the end I would recommend practicing within 80 yards more than I would recommend either sw or MOI

[sillywilly]

chief, we'll go with C4 then i'm gonna mail the rest of the stuff to you on monday so you should have everything you need by wed or thur. i won't need any of the stuff until imd june.

B12 is by far superior than any other out there. Ask Roger C

[sillywilly]

Ok kids, Cheif will shortly have all the heads and shafts needed to build my set... so what did we decide on?? C4??? B12???

[spackler]

I think most men's sets are assembled with a target swingweight of d-2.
