RE: ShopTalk: Lob Wedge swingweighting

[Dave Tutelman]

Pat,
I think we have a problem here. I've never seen a heavier shaft result in a lower swingweight (assuming no change in length, grip weight, or head weight). And, from the physical definition of swingweight, it can't happen unless the shaft's CG is so high that it is less than 14" from the butt.

Do I misunderstand what you're saying?

Pat,
I'm not sure I understand. I think you are suggesting something that will
result in a heavier shaft, and therefore a higher swingweight. What am I
missing here?

Thanks,
