Shaft Weight

Shaft weight refers to how much the shaft itself weighs, usually measured in grams.

It plays a major role in how the club feels and how the golfer swings it. Lighter shafts can help some players generate more speed, but they may feel less stable. Heavier shafts offer more control and can improve consistency, especially for golfers with stronger tempos or faster transitions. The key is matching weight to the player’s strength, rhythm, and preferred feel.

Fitters use shaft weight to fine-tune both performance and comfort. If a golfer struggles with timing or feels the club is too heavy, a lighter shaft may help. If the swing feels quick or inconsistent, a heavier shaft can add stability. Weight also influences swing weight and overall balance of the club, so it’s chosen carefully. When the shaft weight is matched properly, the golfer gains better control, more consistent ball contact, and a swing that feels natural and repeatable.
