I M restoring some hickory clubs and building a play set. I am measuring lofts and weights to ensure I am building and restoring the clubs I need.

I picked up a golf works Ralph maltby 14 inch swingweight direct read fulcrum scale on eBay. I know… should just bought a new one.

i an somewhat perplexed on using it.

To explain better what I purchased it is the scale that has the slanted v under the grams side of fulcrum. I slide club in and was able to read grams by sliding the weight.

i am perplexed on how to get the A-G rating weight. I guess I would but the weight on the grams to zero and move another weight on The a-g side but I only have 1 weight. Am I correct I was shorted 1 weight or am I am idiot on how to use it. Anyone know where I can buy a weight for this if I need 2?!

If you have the Swingweight Scale where the shaft slid into the tube for measuring swingweight the sliding weight sits on top and slides along the scale to read the swingweight and total weight measurements. With the club in the tube slide the weight until the scale balances and read the swingweight from the arrow. For reading swingweight this swingweight scale reads the same as the NESC swingweight scale we currently sell but with the NESC the club does not go inside the tube.

To read the clubs total weight you hang crosswise in the V that hangs down from the bottom of the scale. Then slide the weight until the club balances and read the total weight from the arrow. Again it works the same as the NESC scale we currently sell but with the NESC the club goes crosswise across the top of the scale.

The instructions for the NESC scale should be helpful for this scale.

Thanks Jim but i do not have that scale. This is the scale I have.

I have what is picture plus 1 weight for the top.

Here is what i have done. I slide the club in the V under the arm and slide my 1 weight to get ounces. I want to get the A, B, C rating/weighing. How do i do that? I only have one slide top weight. Am i missing a weight or other parts? If i am where can i buy it?
