Butt weighting... Makes me think about a couple of other "weight centers" that has nothing to do with golf either. If I hit a snap hook on hole #1 coming friday because I was thinking about Marilyn Monroe instead of "straight down the middle" I'll know who to blame

I think it is easier to release a club with a light shaft and a heavy head. But also easier to flip. And harder to hit a low ball.

Having said that, it would have been interesting to experiment with super light shaft and then add weight to the clubhead until the club was as heavy to swing as before. I believe you get more ball speed from moving mass in the clubhead than you get from putting a similar effort into the other end of the club.

The only thing I KNOW is that my ball striking with irons improved when I moved to S300 shafts from something that was much lighter. But that could have been due to stiffer shaft and higher COG in the clubheads as well.
