Stealth 2 Plus swingweight question

[HappyGilmore22]

I'm going to order a Stealth 2 Plus but trying to figure out if I should order with the 20g weight in front or stick with 15g reg. I want to order a Stealth 2 plus with Ventus Black TR 6x at 45.5" with midsize MCC grip (59g I think). Anyone know approximately what the swingweight would be with this length? Or if I cut it down to 45.25"? Ideally for driver I like D5-6. Just worried the 15g would drop it too much with midsize grip and shorter shaft than their stock.

With 20G weight it should be d3-d4

Is that from a driver that fits well that also has the same heavier fit and the same playing length as the one you're ordering?

 

Typically when changing any of these specs:  playing length, shaft weight, grip weight - then the old values should be thrown out and you should refit yourself for swing weight (really head weight).  The swing weight scale does not really do very well to compensate for those types of changes.

But FWIW, most people can move to a heavier grip without having to adjust the head weight any.

With that shaft & Grip  I think you will end up around D2-D3 with the stock weights at 45.25 and Likely D3-D4 at 45.50.  The problem with adding more weight up front you will be making it a bit more low spin low launch which might be too low with a Black TR.  You may want to simple get some hot melt in it if you want to gain a point or 2.  Most S2P Heads come in around 196 without the adapter if you want a starting point.  I am playing a Ventus Blue Velo at 45.25, Headweight is 197.7 (After Hotmelt), UTX Grip +3 Wraps & I'm at D4-D4.5.

I'm just going to keep it at 45.5" same length I've played for a few years and add the 20g weight to the front. My spin was around 2400-2500 on average with 11-12 deg launch so I think I have some wiggle room with the added weight. Worst case I think I'd be able to move it back from 7.25 deg to 8 deg or find a 15 g weight somewhere.
