What is a weight in golf?

1. Weight of the golf club. 2. Weight distribution of the golfer at setup and during the swing.

Definition

1. The distribution of mass in a golf club head that affects swing characteristics, ball flight, and feel at impact. Proper weight distribution in modern clubs enhances forgiveness and optimizes performance for different swing types. 2. The positioning and balance of a golfer's body during setup and throughout the swing motion, crucial for maintaining stability and generating consistent contact. Weight transfer from back foot to front foot during the swing is fundamental to powerful, accurate shot-making and is a key element taught by golf instructors.
