Hello - can anyone recommend a good, economical and accurate ($100 or less) swing weight scale.

A link to a good method of discerning swing weight without using a scale might work as well.
Thanks!

Hey and thanks - do I need a postal scale or is this unit self contained?

This is good for swing weight measurements. As a scale it is not that accurate except for overall club weight.  If you want to weigh, let’s say lead tape strips, you need a better scale. Some of the lead tapes on that site are set to weigh a certain about per inch. So you can measure 1 inch of tape and know what the weight you are adding to the head will be.

What I do is place the club on the scale and set it to my desired swing weight, then place the tape on the head lightly to see if it is enough. If so, it then put the tape all the way on.

Why not just take the club to your local golf store and spend nothing other than time and gas? I'm sure they have a swingweight scale and will allow you to use it. Some years ago, I wanted to shorten a Driver. I needed to know the swingweight before I did that, and took it to a local golf shop. I asked if they had a scale, and could I use it I was never turned down. 

I just realized that I don't know how far away your nearest golf shop is. I see you are in the Rocky Mountain west.

Hey guys, thanks for the replies - I bought the scale you linked.

I'm putting together some clubs so I actually need to have a scale. Thanks again

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
