695 CB, How much does 1/2 off affect swingweight?

[Dminn23]

I have been playing a set of Titleist 695cbs that are shortened a 1/2 inch because I have pretty long arms. I was just wondering, how does this affect the swing weight since they were originally D2?

They might be a bit heavier, but im not a clubfitting guru

Dminn23,

Reducing the overall length of a club by a half inch will cause a six point loss in swing weight. This is more than enough for the average golfer to feel. This could have a drastic effect on your tempo and timing, or it could have none. Give them a try and see. If you're not hitting the ball as consistently as you would like, I would use cork and tungsten powder to get some weight into the hosels of the irons (2g equals one swing weight point).
