SMT I see what you are saying there, I do the waggle. For me, Iām seeing if the shaft feels like it will hold up and Iām most definitely seeing how it feels weight wise. If itās super light, Iām out.. I know myself enough to know even if I try to slow down, I canāt and light clubs = me out of control.
I do think thereās something to the balance point, I just got a set of irons because I wanted heads, came with 120g steel shafts, took a couple swings and they āfeel lightā, thereās no weight in my hands and it feels too head light as well. I have yet to dig into it, way too busy to have bought a project.. but itās what I do lol. Funny part is, where do you go when you want a heavier shaft than that? Thereās not much. I wish there were some reasonably priced 130g graphite iron shafts that are weighted like the old s300 line, Iād be a pig in shit. Im sure somebody makes something like that, Iām still allergic to $50+ a shaft for irons.
