This might sound like a noob question, but I have a buddy who wants me to reshaft his driver with a UST V2 75 *current shaft is NV 65 @ 45 inches). He wants to go up to the 75 gram weight on the shaft, but would also like to play his driver at 44 to 43 3/4 inches. Does anyone know how much lighter or what swing weight his driver will end up being? Driver head is a Nike SQ.

I would think that tipping the driver a quarter inch would offset some of the 10 gram differece. As for the swingweight

the club will actually feel heavier and more solid, the swing wieght should be relatively close to maybe one swing weight more.

Thats what I thought. Appreciate the help guys.

The general rule of thumb is for every 8 grams of shaft, the swingweight changes by 1 pt. For every 1/2" of length, the swingweight changes by about 3 pts. You can do the math from there.

i and probably others only know it at d1,d2 etc., so what does a point mean in relation to d1 swing wieght?

D2 would be 1 pt. more and D0 would be 1 pt. less. I use different approximations for irons vs. woods. For the shorter heavier irons, you need a little more to change the swingweight. Normally general approximations are good enough though.

Speaking of swingweight...should ALL of your clubs be the same or should like the driver be a higher weight? I just got my scale and I want to do this right. Thanks

Thats really a matter of preference. Obviously irons within a set should be swingweight matched (unless you MOI matching -- Moment of Inertia). Commonly sandwedges and lobwedges will have a heavier swingweight which is a good thing. I prefer D3-D4 in my irons and around D1 for my driver. If you have a favorite club or an old driver you like put it on the sw scale. This would be a good starting point, from there you can tinker with different setups to fine tune your preferences. With MOI matching, its common for the swingweight to get lighter as the clubs get longer... MOI is offered as an alternative to s.w. matching
