Just purchased a set of AP1 712 irons (4 thru GW) with DGXP R300 shafts, checked the swing weight and was surprised to find out they are C-9. The Titleist spec calls for D-2. My questions is would the lighter swing weight be a result of the shaft?
Appreciate your reply, thanks in advance.

Hi Bill, The standard set of 712 AP1 irons with the XP R300 should be D2 +/-1. Keep in mind that swingweight scales can differ by 2 or even more swingweights. I have a swingweight scale at home and even though we check it regularly, was very surprised to find it off by 2 swingweights so it does happen. That being said, we would be happy to check the swingweight on your set - just take it to any authorized retailer and have them set up an inspection.

Thanks Cathi,
Thanks so much for your reply.
Good point, will follow up with local authorized retailer to check the swing weights. Have a second question for you, have been reading the postings on serial numbers, in some cases only the 6 irons is marked while other postings advised all the irons are marked. Can you please check your records to determine what is noted for my set. The serial number is 28YGN on each iron (4 thru GW).
Again appreciate your reply,

Hi Bill, After I checked your serial number, it seems very likely that this set is lighter because it was ordered at 1" over standard with the grip in the box. That means that it was built with light heads to accomodate the length that was ordered and someone cut them down to standard length. When this order was shipped, it had standard lie and loft.
Cathi thanks so much for your reply. What are the recommendations from Titleist to bring them up to the D 2 swing weight specs at this time.
As always appreciate your reply.

An easy way would be to use lighter grips. Golf pride carrys a 25 gram grip that will bring the swingweight up about 4-5 swingweights, depending on your grip weight,.

Interesting that Golf Pride finally got onboard with light grips. It seemed like only Winn carried lighter weight grips (the Excel RF 42g standard and 43g midsize and the Winn Lite at 25g; the Lite Dri-Tac oversize is 26g).
Hi Cathi, wanted to drop a quick note thanking you and your team for great customer service. Really surprised how quickly the replies came to my questions. Keep up the good work! Have a great day.
