Hah plus one inch on a mizuno mp 32 and D 8 for me, but I do like a heavy club. Is that a problem? What would that do theoretically to a swing or ones release? Hogan's clubs were long, heavy and counter balanced to D1.....same with Knudsons (of course).

I stuck a counter balance in the grip end of my 5 iron......not sure about it . I suppose I could get used to it. It brings the swing weight down a few.

Funny you should bring this up Drew, I was just searching the net trying to find out about the implications of a heavy swing weight.

Kev do you have any thoughts on this? If it causes me release earlier Ill counter balance them I guess. Im a smooth swinger, no big quick loading if that makes a difference. Random sweep release. 88 mph 7 iron. S300, married with two kids, anglo saxon, briefs not boxers.

I like heavy, but it's just a number. When you lengthen the club 1", it doesn't make the head any heavier, just changes the balance point. The only thing you have to watch out for is that the extra length and extra weight make the shaft play a little softer.
