Go up or down three swingweights, about the weight of a quarter, and just about anyone can feel the difference. A club's swingweight can be fixed by either adding or removing lead powder in the bottom of the shaft. If your club rattles, there is a good chance that some of this powder has become loose. If you're not sure how to check all of these items yourself, call your favorite shop. If they don't have the ability to help you, they will be glad to tell you who can.
Most shops charge little if anything to check the swingweight, loft and lie on each club.
If you need to have your clubs adjusted, the fee is usually quite small for a loft or lie adjustment. So this weekend take some time to check your clubs and get ready for the season. Who knows, maybe your swing isn't what needs to be fixed. In a recent test using actual golfers instead of robots, Wilson's new Deep Red Driver was the weapon of choice. Players were asked to rate the drivers in distance, forgiveness, cosmetics, confidence and overall performance.
