It's going to change your swing weight by 12.5 points which is massive, going from D3 to C0/1. Gonna feel weird AF

What? It is universal basic golf physics that each gram is equivalent to 0.5 points of swing weight and 12 points is huge. If it didn't feel weird to you, maybe it's because as a golfer that can hit the ball 300 yards but can't break 85, you have no feel

I've never played there but on paper 73.2/138 is tough. Improving your ball off the tee there isn't going to be about more distance. Moreso lucky or course management. I don't know this feeling but you you might sail one into the fairway 10 yards too far but have a poor angle.

I've shot +/- 5 strokes on the same course for years. I've skinned that cat every way I can too. Never at 285+ though








Maybe you should try 315?

I don't know what a panochq is, but if I am one, I'm a panochq whose handicap is 15+ strokes lower than yours.

Ricky measuring antics not withstanding, swing weight absolutely will decrease a huge amount by removing the head weight completely. That is unarguable. Will it make a difference in your swing? Yes, in some way it definitely will. Will it be a positive or negative effect? Nobody knows but you.

Hey Enrico, I'm sorry if I came across as a jack***. I was just joshin' with you. You've been very helpful and insightful throughout this thread. Please bear with me as this is my first adjustable golf club of any kind.

My factory tungsten is a 25 gram. Should I look into reducing that?

Ping website has these options: 14gr/17gr/19gr/22gr

Maybe a 17g or 19g set to the neutral setting?
