So, swing weight - is the method described here correct for approximating it? https://www.tutelman.com/golf/design/swingwt4.php
And if so, would a driver swing weight of ~C6 and a 3 wood swing weight of ~D1 be considered unusual/too far apart? Total weight of 3w is ~20 grams more than driver, almost all of that from the head weight.
If you want to kill a week, nod off to sleep, get Daves started on MOI matching...
Long story short though, I have taken a lot of his experiments on board, and have found that "lazy MOI matching" is the go. Basically, as clubs get longer, you make their swingweight a bit lighter. In irons I target 0.3pts per club. In woods about 1-1.3pts.
For me, I play driver at D1-D1.5 4w at D2-D3. Feels good to me, but you've seen me play so take it all with a grain of salt.
I'd leave the one you like the most alone, then modify the other to be 1-1.5pts away from it as an experiment to start with.

Clubmakers tip of the day. When your mate buys a 5L can of grip glue, and offers you 1L for $20, dont put it into a plastic container.
Now i know the reason it is sold in a steel can.
anyone want to buy a nice circle of hardened resin thats 5mm thick. make a great ornament.
My tip, don't use grip glue

I had a little bit of a read through the forum and the interwebs around spining or pureing. From what I can tell, paying for SST Pure at $75 per iron doesn't seem worth it. Any updated thoughts on this?
Russ Ryden runs www.golfshaftreviews.info and he posted this review of the radial properties of shafts in 2011.

With current manufacturing practices golf shaft spine no longer exists in premium shafts. The only benefit to alignment is the profit made by those selling the service.
This is my understanding too. Current shaft manufacturing is significantly more sophisticated that in years gone by. The bias and indeed identification of the spine is less relevant.
Couple this with the debate around if the spine is found, where would it be oriented relative to the head of the club.
Puring is different to spinning and requires a specific device is my understanding.
I can spine shafts, but I can't PURE a shaft

I guess my comment was more around pureing then.

Just my 2c here…
When I was at GolfSmith HQ in Texas year ago, I had my driver with me which I’d FLO’d (flat line oscillation). During some spare time, I had a chance to mark the shaft when I had FLO’d it, remove the head/grip and test the shaft using their PURE machine. The build manager was surprised to see the two marks (FLO and PURE) were within a couple of degree of each other.
Working with exceptional ball strikers and doing blind (well, as close as possible) testing, some noticed a more repeatable feel with FLO, other had a more repeatable face contact, some didn’t notice anything.
Would I pay $55/club or whatever the Pure fee is with modern shafts? No. I FLO clubs without an extra charge for my customers. It not going to hurt and if you’re getting a new build done, why not?

Since I've already bumped the thread, I'll ask another question.
My fitting recommended 0.5" over standard length. If I buy 4-SW shafts "off the shelf", do they already have extra length? Or would I have to get 3-PW instead?
