Just as the title say's, I need your honest opinion. I have a friend that is a member of this site and said you guys would provide the most honest opinions...

Tom Wishon also wrote a piece about 40g minimal weight having an effect.
I think he was talking about his driver head design that had the internal moveable weight.
Golfsmith head maybe?

Me too.

I am not arguing the math. Head rotation thru impact area and the amount of weight to increase or delay same doesn't take all that much. A slight delay is all that is needed. Same with front to back sliding weights to influence L/A. It's the degree of influence that determines the amount of weight.

And that other guy you mentioned isn't he the advocate of shorter is better and yet now that theory is out the window as it's all about 2" overlength wedges on Sl irons? Just sayin.

Two different subjects.

Theory works ONLY if the hands swing the golf club stays constant . The base for all the numbers changes then, it would be pointless for those numbers.
If I have a choice between a healthy body and the most advanced technology applied to the golf clubs within the conforming rules.
I'd take a healthy body and swing a set of 50 years old golf club any day.

It always comes down to $ in the end. Just because some of us more "mature" individuals think something is a triple bag of horse hooey doesn't mean it won't sell. If the masses believe the latest tweak will help their game, then there is a market. I used to be in that market.

sdandrea1 Yeah, if by "in that market" you mean "bought every damn club ever made." LOL.

I believe what Wishon said was it takes 40 grams to move the center of gravity on a golf club, not club performance.

According to Mikes post it depends on how much you want to move it that would determine the weight. How have you been btw?

Steve:

All is well. To refresh your mind, I retired about 12 years ago from owning a full time shop. I only mess around with my own clubs now. So happy to be out of the business as I do not see how a small operation/shop can make any money at it nowadays. I will not even do work for friends as I see them as friends, not customers and I want to keep them that way.

My health is good for being 74. I play golf 2-4 times a week. My calling card reads:

Sleep Late, Play Golf, Drink, Eat, Repeat.

Then ask yourself this Spuzz. Since the Axis point of the shaft is not in line with the COG how much weight does it take to influence head rotation? IMO not very much. Certainly not the numbers being implied.

I am slipping a bit John. I am very happy to hear you're happy and healthy. Your card says it all. Good for you John.

accufitgolf Did the same thing with my part-time shop. The only thing I will do for friends will be re-grip their clubs when they ask. And, they have to bring me the grips to install and there is no charge. I will do them while they are here so we can visit, have a beer while I'm changing grips.
