Weights of different clubs

[ThumbtackR9]

I have posted that I bought used set of Ping G20 Irons.  So far I am not hitting them very good.  I think my swing plane is way to steep.  I called the golf shop where I got them and the guy said that is probably what my problem is.  The clubs have the standard ping grip.  I like the way they look.  What I was wondering about is the weight of clubs.  I have 4 pitching wedges.  I have a Adams Tech 05 that weighs 430 grams.  A older Adams Idea that weighs 415 grams.  A Cobra Z fly that weighs 400 grams and the Ping G20 weighs 440 grams.  It feels much heavier than the older Adams at 415 grams.  Will that make much difference?  I am going to have to try and learn to take very shallow divots to hit the G20's.  I was just wondering if there was kind of a standard that clubs weigh.  Going to play in the morning and see how it goes.  I went to the course the other day and just hit a few balls but I was getting a huge deep divot and no distance.  The ball was getting height I am not used to but no distance.  Thanks for the comments.

Did you test them on the launch monitor before you bought them?

Uh.. I think it's time for you to get a lesson. Swing plane will affect divot depth as much or more than clubhead weight.

Each model of irons has its own head weights. There's no industry standard. While total club weight can be measured, fitters pay more attention to swingweight. Changing shaft length or regripping with a different weight grip can change swingweight.

Yeah I probably need some lessons.  I took some years back and I wasn't too impressed.  I went probably 10 times.  The guy  would give me a bucket of balls to hit and make a suggestion every now and then.  I was probably playing worse after I got through.  I hit the six iron on the launch monitor and i was carrying it about 140 which for me is  probably about right. That was the only iron I hit.The fitter didn't say anything about how high the ball was going. The clubs felt good on the monitor hitting off the carpet but when I started hitting off the turf I am having problems. I'll just work on my swing some and see what happens.  I know it is me.  Don't think it has anything to do with the clubs.  Thanks for the suggestions Tiger.  I am going to post some swings first chance I get.
