I’m in the process of building a set of TS-1 irons. I’ve completed 3 irons and have ordered the remaining ones that I require. I will be swing weighting them to a D2. My ball striking was not great this year with the irons and I have read that getting more weight in the handle can help in getting more feel for the club and result in better/consistant hits. So I’m going to give these counter weights a try. But, where to start as far as weights are concerned? I ordered a 20, 40 and 50 gram weight as well as the grip modifier. Is it just trial and error or can you give some advice where I should begin? If it’s trial and error, then I’m assuming you just take all the weights out to the range and change them out until you find one that suits you??? Unfortunately, up here in Ontario the golfing season is over so I won’t be able try this out until next spring or until I head to Myrtle Beach in March. Also, I noticed when I was ordering the weights yesterday there were a number of weights that were “no longer available”. Are they just out of stock or are they not being made anymore? Your comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Experimenting is going to be your best method to determine which weight might work best for you. I see that we sell quite a few more of the 20 gram than the 40 and 50 gram weights. That kind of give you an idea of which ones are being used most often. To be honest if I had the 20, 40 and 50 gram weights I would have to try them all to see. I couldn’t just try one. Being that you are in Canada I would suggest contacting GolfWorks Canada directly to see about their availability of these weights. I am not aware that any of these weights are being discontinued.

I suggest using lead tape wrapped around the grip to get you in the ball park.
