Wow... I'm old enough to have seen it and old enough to have forgotten :-(  Guess I've always worked with, and been associated with folks who worked with, Maltby's Golf Club Scale.  Now that you've reminded me about the Ping my memory is begining to clear.   Cub - Original Message

I have an old Golfsmith SW scale that has the hole for shaft protruding and allows measurement before cutting the shaft to length.  Its probably about 20 years old but still works just fine.  Jamieson's Custom Clubswww.jamiesonscustomclubs.tk - Original Message - From: Jeremy

I heard that the older Ping SW machine allowed you to protude the shaft beyond the end of the scale I rember hearing somewhere (PCS perhaps )that this technique was used for simulating SW before cutting the shaft' Jeremy Steve \"Cub\" Culbreth wrote: David, I can't answer your question because

David, Of the answers I've seen so far, only Cub seems to share my understanding of what you're doing. Let's see if we're right. You are trying to weight a club to swingweight before you cut it to length at the butt. You have a swingweight scale that allows you to let the bare shaft protrude be

David, Just to cover the basics, you cut it at the "stop" mark?  Eg.  the measured club length remained the same?  You didn't tip while freq'ing it?  The insertion depth was the same?  The head was the same? Al At 01:36 AM 3/18/2004, you wrote: Hi Jent's, I came across something I don't understan

David,   I can't answer your question because I can't picture your situation.  What kind of swing weight machine do you have that allows the shaft butt to protrude beyond the end of the beam?    Cub   - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sen

David, The longer the club, the higher the swingweight. For every 1/2 inch you trim from the butt of the club, you lose 3 SW points. If you were thinking that you'd gain swing weight by shortening the club, I think you had it backwards. Hope I understood your question and I hope this helps. Greg
