Wow... I'm old enough to have seen it and old
enough to have forgotten :-( Guess I've always worked with, and been
associated with folks who worked with, Maltby's Golf Club Scale. Now that
you've reminded me about the Ping my memory is begining to clear.

question
I have an old Golfsmith SW scale that has the
hole for shaft protruding and allows measurement before cutting the shaft to
length. Its probably about 20 years old but still works just
fine.

I heard that the older Ping SW machine allowed you
to protude the shaft beyond the end of the scale I rember hearing somewhere
(PCS perhaps )that this technique was used for simulating SW before cutting
the shaft' Jeremy

David, I can't answer your question because I can't
picture your situation. What kind of swing weight machine do you
have that allows the shaft butt to protrude beyond the end of the
beam? Cub ----- Original Message -----

question Hi
Jent's, I came across
something I don't understand. When mocking up a set of irons and determining how much weight I
was going to need to add to get my desired swing weight I would get one
# say d-1 before butt cutting, this would leave a few inches of butt
protruding past the seat or stop which should if anything give me a SW #
that is slightly less than the # I would get after the final butt
trim due to several inches of shaft hanging past the edge at the butt
end or so you would think. Low and behold after butt trimming and rechecking I found that
the SW actually went down a couple of points. How could this be? David
