How To Build Your Own Weighted Swing Club

Having a weighted club will give you the freedom to practice certain aspects of your swing mechanics any time you have a few extra minutes.

Following are my instructions for making yourself a weighted club for practice.  It will fit in your suitcase so you can even take it on business trips.  I’ve made reference to the Swinger™ in my manual but I’m not sure they’re still being manufactured so I’ll show you how to make your own weighted club.

It is important to make your practice swings purposeful when you use a weighted club.  Beginning with your backswing, pay close attention to each detail of your complete swing, from start to finish.  Then focus on one aspect of your swing, whether it’s the wrist cock or the release or the reasonably straight left arm.  By concentrating on one part of your swing at a time, you’ll fix a bad habit or reinforce a good one.

To make a weighted club, first go to your nearest golf repair or pro shop and ask for an old or broken shaft.  Discarded shafts are common and even golf courses have them from time to time.

Materials Needed:

                        Shaft with grip

Three 2 oz.  and four 1 1/2-oz.  lead sinker fishing weights

                        3 oz.  travel bottle (found at most drug stores)

                        Epoxy or fiberglass resin

                        One stick of 1/8-inch steel round stock

Steps:

1. Cut the shaft to about 25 inches.  Prepare the tip end by sanding the chrome off so that the epoxy or resin will adhere to the shaft.

2. Cut two 1 ¼-inch pieces from the 1/8-inch round stock.

3. Drill two 1/8-inch holes through the shaft, one at 2 inches from tip, the second at 1 inch from tip.  The holes should be 90° from one another.

4. Cut the top off the bottle so it has an opening of about 1 inch.

5. Insert the two 1 ¼-inch pieces of round stock halfway through the shaft.

6. Place three of the 2 oz. lead weights in the bottom of the plastic bottle.

7. Insert the shaft into the plastic bottle by tilting the shaft to get the spurs through the opening.

8. Insert the four 1 ½ -oz. lead weights into the bottle. 

9. Mix about 4 oz. of the resin or epoxy according to the instructions on its container. 

10. Pour the mixture into the bottle and support the shaft so that it stays upright.

11. Let the mixture harden.  You will be ready to start your practice in about an hour.

If you want a fancier weighted club, when you’re at the hardware store pick up a can of PolyShield™ so you can dip the bottle end of your weighted club.  Polyshield^TM is the same material used to coat pliers and other hand tools.

From start to finish, your weighted club will take only half a day to make.

The benefits of using the weighted club are:

1. Purposeful swing practice at any time of day or night.

2. Increased flexibility.

3. Greater strength in hands, wrist, arms, and shoulders.

More distance with all your clubs and more consistent ball flights because you are grooving your swing.
