A tool used in golf club fitting measures the resistance to rotation felt during a swing. This measurement helps golfers optimize their equipment for better performance by ensuring the club feels balanced and manageable. For instance, two clubs with the same overall weight can have different swing weights, leading to one feeling heavier during the swing.
Matching a golfer’s physical characteristics and swing style to the appropriate balance point in their clubs can significantly improve timing, consistency, and control. Historically, understanding this dynamic has evolved from rudimentary methods to precise measurement instruments and sophisticated fitting techniques. This pursuit of optimal swing weight reflects the ongoing quest for greater accuracy and distance in the game.
