Shrek74 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I plan on picking up a swing weight scale once I get my work bench all built up. I was just going to grab the $100 Golfworks scale, but ran across another option that I'm curious about. Does anyone have any experience with the SwingW.com scale - Simple Swingweight System XL V3 (https://swingw.com/shop/p/simple-swingweight-xl-tpcek-zblbs)? It's half the price and has a holder for a loose grip. I have the scale that's required, but I'm just curious if this is worth the price knowing you have to do some "work" to set it up compared to the GW scale that's just ready to go. I wasn't going to grab one right away, but after finding out the SW I calculated using the fulcrum/weight method came out very different than my local pro found after he adjusted loft/lie on my irons using his GW scale, I think I'd rather err on the side of getting it right from the start versus potentially guessing and it not being correct. Let me know your experience and thoughts.

ChitownM2 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 From my experience, second guessing what the SW scale was telling me was the driving factor in me upgrading from an old golfsmith SW scale. I would say you should get the best scale your budget allows or you might end up in a similar boat where you don't trust the numbers you are seeing Shrek74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel going that route just takes away all the variables. Ensure it's level and go.
