Total Club weight is an often overlooked factor in club fitting. There are competing advantages/disadvanatges to lowering over-all club weight. A Club that is too light. resulting in a lower Swing-weight, is hard to control because you lose "feel" for just where the club head is during the swing.
A club that is too heavey can create fatigue and and some difficulty is squaring the face at impact. That said, most seniors, most women golfers and all golfers who have slower swing speeds can benefit from lighter clubs because you will most often gain swing speed with a lighter club.
Since most club heads are weighted to a fairily narrow standard, a lighter total club weight is achieved by re-fitting your clubs with lighter shafts and lighter grips. Today's Ultra-light shafts, now under 60 grams, and a variety of lighter grips make it pretty easy to lower total club weight.
