Hi Bob, I have always checked and adjusted head weights before frequency matching. This works well for me. I can get a fair approximation by taking a head/shaft SW, then measuring it at 1/2" longer, and if appropriate, by adding a few grams to the head.

If I add lead powder to match s/w, that changes the frequency.(catch 22) I thought of drilling a hole in my swing weight fixture, which would allow me to check s/w at different points on the shaft, but then it would change the counter balance, by removing some weight from the shaft cradle. I have a Kenneth Smith fixture and the cradle is very thick, and drilling a hole would remove quite a bit of weight.Then a formula would be needed to determine the plus or minus effect on s/w, based on the amount of shaft protruding through the fixture. Does anyone out there have an easier solution to this problem? If so, would you share it. Thanks to all, Bob _____ Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
