You can use weight plugs to bring the heads into spec For example, club weight spec Weight Added Final Weight 3 246 246 2 248 4 251 253 4 255 5 262 260 0 262 6 267 266 2 269 7 270 272 6 276 8 279 279 4 283 9 288 287 2 290 P 297 294 0 297
If you don't have weight plugs, you could also use lead tape. Not as pretty, but still an acceptable method.

Here's another practical question. From my reading, I take it that iron head weights generally increase about 7g for each lower numbered club. What is considered acceptable for deviations from this or from the sets specifications when constructing a set of irons. I purchased a set of club heads on sale for a fairly low price. When I weighed the components they came up like this: club weight spec 3 246 246 4 251 253 5 262 260 6 267 266 7 270 272 8 279 279 9 288 287 P 297 294 Is this deviation from the specs typical or is this indicative of a low quality component? None of them are more than 3 grams off of spec, but the 4 and 5 iron are now 11 grams apart. How far off from spec should a quality component set be? Also, how far apart should identical uncut shafts be as far as weight? Thanks. Steve
