At the PCS seminars we were told by Jeff Jackson that all things being equal that for every 9 grams of shaft weight removed equates to about 1 swing weight point. Although this discussion was on graphite shafts in woods I would assume it holds true in irons as well, I know from experience that using lightweight steel shafts result in a lower swing weight than regular steel by about 1 point, the weight differential is about 10 grams.Yup!

When you look at the formulas for swingweight (it's really basic physics, by definition), you see that swingweight increases with shaft weight by about 7 grams per swingweight point for a driver, increasing to about 13 for a 9-iron.
