Fantastic explanation- I have switched from AP1 and Xp95 to T100s and AMT shafts and very recently found that club speed is down 5 mph and strike isnt so easy to find. Of course some of that is down to the different club head but am gonna go get some lead tape and see what happens. I also switched to midsize grips so my ears pricked up at the end !!!!!
Just added mid sized grips. They took my swing weights from factory D1/D2 on my Ping i230s down to between C7-C9 depending on the club. Don’t want to lead tape new clubs so probably going to have to add tip weights.
Always take your new OEM brand irons to a competent club builder, as experiences show some of these specs are so far out. Hence why golfers suddenly no longer hit their new 7 iron better than old one.
how does total weight affect the performance of a golfclub? And whats the difference in performance of a 280 gram abd a 320 gram club with the same swingweight?
@franzose1967 I'm 45, I still play X100 with a midsize grip and lead tape to play at d4. It's about as heavy as a club can get. I've thought about going lighter. The trade-off is usually accuracy for distance. At some point, I'll look to go from 130 grams to 120. A good club fitter could lighten your club with minimal accuracy loss.

The more static weight a club has, the further it will hit the ball with the added mass, IF you can swing it the same speed.
@@adambarnes4191 thank you. I think I have to try out . But now I think I will do better with a lighter one as I'm getting older
