I just did this with a Mashie I replaced in my playset because it felt too light and was very difficult to get air born. It came out to "Too high to calculate! Are you sure there is a head at the end of the shaft?" Haha! Weighs 373 grams 26" balance point.
Is there another way to find loft on a hickory shafted golf club.
Nice practical approaches to determine loft and swing weight. Much appreciated while I wait for the delivery of my back-ordered swing weight! Thanks for the videos, they're really well executed and fun to watch. 🙂
