Swing Weight is commonly interpreted as the relative measurement of the balance of the golf club from the tip of the grip to the bottom of the sole, at a point (fulcrum) which is 12-14 inches from the grip end of the club depending on the scale being used. Swing Weight affects the feel and playability of a club.

 If the swing weight is too light a golfer might:

             1.  Take club back quickly

            2.  Have little sense of rhythm and balance

            3.  Hit fat and thin shots, and have no discernible pattern

 If the swing weight is too heavy a golfer might:

             1.  Have steep backswing with a tendency to collapse at top

            2.  Loose club control

            3.  Have a predisposition to hit the ball fat
