    tour weighted

    What does it mean when it's said that a clubhead is tour weighted?

    Not being a tour player I can't say. My guess is that the swing weight is heavier than average.

    I think it has more to do with how and where the weight is distributed within the head.

    I usually see tour weight shafts, which are typically heavier in the irons.
    Not fat anymore. Need to get better at golf now!

    If it is in respect to metal heads I think they are a bit heavier to keep in proportion to the generally heavier shafts.

    And like downhillslider said, they are usually weighted to be fade biased.

    Where is this info coming from?
    I don't get it. Seems to me that it's an awful lot of effort for a few sets of irons imo.
    Then again I'm not a tour pro.

    I'm reffering to drivers, fwys and hybrids. I didn't see any specific mention of irons, although I didn't specifically mention drivers, fwys and hybrids.
