Swing weight help please

[4jag]

I bought an Adams XTD Ti 13* 3 wood with an upgraded shaft. The stock club was playing to a D2 with the 66 gram Fubuki shaft in it. The new shaft is 79 gram Oban. I like the heavier shaft but I can't feel the club head anymore.

Can someone tell me how much weight I should add to the clubhead to account for the 13 gram increase in shaft weight? I'm assuming the grip weight has not changed.

Club is 43", don't know the club head weight.

Your sw should have increased ( barring any major weight distributtion changes ) with the heavier shaft, all else beeing equal.

If the new shaft is stiffer, the head will feel lighter.

Have you checked the sw on the new 3w ?

You may have to add 2 grams at a time until you find the right combination. See article below.

Balance Point – The Monkey Wrench in the Equation
As mentioned before, the balance point of the shaft is not always located at the center of the shaft. Actually it is rarely there as most shafts for driver have a balance point that is approximately 52% from the tip of the shaft. Shaft balance points in driver shafts range from 48% from the tip to 56% of the length of the shaft. Shafts that have a balance point less than 50% are considered tip heavy and rare in driver shafts. Center balanced is where the shafts balance point is exactly in the middle. Lastly, if the balance is more toward the butt or the percentage is higher than 50%, then those shafts are considered butt heavy or counter-balanced shafts.
An 8% range doesn’t sound like much, but over a 43.19" shaft can be a 3.5" range. Using our example before with the 200g head, 50g grip and 45" length, let’s now look at what happens to the swingweight.

Thanks for the info - I'll experiment with some lead tape until I get the preferred feel.
