Golf Clubs with Tungsten Alloy Counterweights Ⅱ

For more than 50 years, makers of golf clubs have referred to clubs with a higher percentage of their overall weight concentrated in their heads as having greater so-called "swingweight". Swingweight is a measure of a club's moment of weight about an arbitrary axis, with the axis being located either 14 inches or 12 inches (Official Scale) from the butt end of the shaft.

To use tungsten alloy counterweights simultaneously as frictionally dissipative, vibration-damping devices (dash pots) in any of the tungsten alloy counterweight devices and systems cited above. Indeed, special care has been taken in all of the patents to affix the tungsten alloy counterweights immovably to the interior of shafts. In U.S. Pat. No. 4,461,479 to Mitchell, for example, counterweights are encased tightly in flexible sleeves that, in turn, are bound tightly within clubs' hollow shafts in an effort to insulate the tungsten alloy golf weight from mechanical stresses, such as vibrations of the shafts.
