JerryB 1,404 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 We picked up some club making parts from a family friend who'd passed away. Owen is using some of it to regrip some clubs but I'm intrigued by this vintage looking swingweight machine from Goldsmith. It looks like it's missing pieces, though. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've taken a few pictures; most of the extra stuff are ferrules and nothing else looks like they'd be my missing pieces. 3 Quote Callaway Rogue ST Max D driver Tour Edge Exotics 3 wood and Bazooka 7 wood Titleist 21° and Grand Hawk XR3 hybrids Adams Idea 6-PW Titleist Vokey SM7 50° 54° and SM8 60° wedges Ray Cook Silver Ray IV putter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbers 238 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 From what I can see from the photo it looks complete. I'm assuming there's some sort of sliding weight under the beam that you move back and forth to get things to "balance out"? You put the gripped club, butt first, into the square opening at the end and slide the movable weight to read the swingweight. The channel that runs across the top of the square beam is where you'd put a shaft, a club, whatever to measure its static weight. But that won't be necessary since you seem to have a gram scale in among the equipment you salvaged.. 1 Quote PXG 0211 12* Paderson Kinetixx A flex PXG 0211 5 and 7 Woods Paderson Kinetixx A Flex PXG 0211 5 and 5 Hybrids MMT A Flex Cobra 7 Hybrid A Flex PXG 8,9,PW,GW Vista Pro A Flex Cleveland CBX 54/12 Cobra Vintage Nova 33" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your machine is one where the butt end goes under the square bracket and the shaft rests on the bracket with the cutout "U" on the other end. Then slide the weight underneath until the scale is "in balance" which should be indicated at the end of the scale and read the swing weight on the bottom scale. 1 Quote PXG 0211 12* Paderson Kinetixx A flex PXG 0211 5 and 7 Woods Paderson Kinetixx A Flex PXG 0211 5 and 5 Hybrids MMT A Flex Cobra 7 Hybrid A Flex PXG 8,9,PW,GW Vista Pro A Flex Cleveland CBX 54/12 Cobra Vintage Nova 33" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B 34,364 Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I have this SW scale. Use it whenever I put a club together to make sure it's in my swingweight range. From the pictures it looks like the shiny, cylindrical piece of steel is the weight that you use to balance the club. My Macgregor PW swingweight is D2 shown below. 2 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryB 1,404 Posted July 5 Author Share Posted July 5 Wow, has this been a rabbit hole!

If you get serious about it I'd recommend trying some of the trickier things on clubs from the local Goodwill store before you go to work on your set...lol...ask me how I know... 2 Quote PXG 0211 12* Paderson Kinetixx A flex PXG 0211 5 and 7 Woods Paderson Kinetixx A Flex PXG 0211 5 and 5 Hybrids MMT A Flex Cobra 7 Hybrid A Flex PXG 8,9,PW,GW Vista Pro A Flex Cleveland CBX 54/12 Cobra Vintage Nova 33" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
