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 521 - 2026-03-06 Got some good work in for 15 minutes or so with someone overseeing. Downswing work.
    • Day 201 3-6 Wider backswing trying to blend it all together for a full swing. Not looking good yet. 
    • Day 74 - 2026-03-06 Backswing work out back at the net. Slow.
    • Day 101: did a stack session. Worked on hands down in the mirror during breaks. 
    • Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
