SPEED STABILITY
Wedge Weights increase Speed Stability (linear momentum) by restoring effective collision mass at the clubhead — helping the head resist deceleration and feel like the strike stays heavy through impact.
Speed Stability is the clubhead’s ability to retain velocity as it transfers energy to the ball — often after encountering deceleration forces from turf and sand first.
When effective collision mass is too low, the clubhead experiences rapid deceleration at impact. Instead of driving through the ball, energy is partially absorbed by the head itself. The result is the thin, hollow strike many golfers associate with lightweight builds — causing inconsistent carry distances, elevated vibration, and a loss of inertial authority.
This behavior is governed by linear momentum (p = m · v):
Where:
- p = linear momentum of the clubhead
- m = effective collision mass
- v = clubhead velocity at impact
Lighter builds trade effective mass for speed. This creates a fragile collision system — where even small reductions in mass require large increases in speed just to maintain baseline momentum.
Restoring Collision Authority
Wedge Weights add mass directly on the proper axis— directly behind the clubface — to increase the effective collision mass without materially increasing overall system weight. Even small additions of distal mass significantly improve the club’s ability to preserve velocity through opposing forces.
Rather than relying solely on speed, the system becomes momentum-driven. The head carries more forward authority into the strike, producing more consistent energy transfer.
What You Feel
- Heavier Strike: A more solid, compressed feel at impact
- Momentum Retention: Less velocity loss through the turf, sand, and ball
- Distance Consistency: Tighter carry dispersion - particularly on partial shots
- Impact Authority: A strike that feels driven, not absorbed
