Difference between D3.5 and D5 swingweight on my driver?

I was just curious what the real differences between my old Tour Burner TP and my new Burner TP 09′ are going to be. My old driver was stock with a 75g X-Stiff Fujikura Rombax. My new driver is 45 inches with a 73g X-Stiff Mitsubishi Fubuki. I’m afraid that my new driver is going to feel too light compared to what I’m used to. What should I expect?
I am a scratch collegiate golfer and I feel everything when it comes to clubs. I prefer a heavier feeling head otherwise I lose it at the top and get too quick. What I should’ve asked was considering the way my old club was setup, how will or should my new one compare? I don’t want to have to resort to lead tape to compensate for lack of head weight.

Robert,

The difference between swingweight points is 4 grams. Without knowing the head weights, as well as the weight of the grips, you can’t even estimate what your swingweight is. However, with what you have listed and supposing that the head weights are the same as well as the grip weight then I would say that your new club is between 1/2 and 3/4 a swingweight point lighter.

The difference between a D3.5 and a D5 is 6 grams. And that is only if the 2 clubs are the same length. You can lower the swingweight of a club by at least 1 to 3 points for every inch it is shorter then the other club. In order to do this you have to also consider the total weight of the club.

In order to get the new one feeling like the old one (if they are the same length, same head weight, same grip weight) is to remove the head and insert a head or shaft weight. With the way you have said this is set up that would be a 6 gram weight. They are made to slip into the end of the shaft. Some clubheads also have weight ports cut into the bottom of the hosels. Epoxy one of these weights into either the shaft or clubhead and then epoxy the shaft back into the clubhead. At this point the swingweights of both old and new clubs should be the same.

Hope this helped
