Swing Weight

Swingweight is a measurement of the relative distribution of weight in a golf club. Heavier swingweights usually translate into more "feel of the head" which is usually shortened to just "feel". Consequently, heavier swingweights are desirable until they become "too heavy" (golfer logic).

A swingweight scale holds the club at the end of the grip and measures the weight of the shaft and head that extends beyond a fulcrum at 14". The measurement is translated into a clubmakers' code expressed in letters and numbers. The normal range is roughly C-5 to E-0. Values outside of that range should be considered unusual.
