A 45.5 inch driver, 200 g head weight, 65 g raw weight and 46 inch raw length will swing weight at approximately D4.2. Reducing the playing length by 1/2 inch will reduce the swing weight to D1.8. Adding back 2g to the head will bring the swing weight back to D3.0.

Installing a grip 5 g lighter grip will add 1 swing weight. These numbers can be confirmed by the swing weight calculator available on the
Valuegolf.com website.

Adding 2 grams to the head simply doesn't offset the reduced swing weight - 4 grams will.

The automatic swing weight adjustment when ordering a non standard length is opposite of what was advised several years ago by Cathi at Titleist so this may a change in policy. Times change

So I called Titleist and they said what Dale V posted, that they will automatically adjust the swing weight based on shaft length if no specific weight is requested to be added. They said every half inch is 2 grams either way, adding or taking off in shaft length. It's a little conflicting based on other manufactures but I will trust these guys.

The 6 grams to be added is correct although this can vary somewhat depending on the weight distribution of the shaft - difference not likely to be significant.

On the subject of what Titleist does when a club is ordered in a length other than standard they do not adjust swing weight to compensate as they do not know the intention of the customer who may very well want the swing weight resulting from the length ordered. I have previously confirmed this with Titleist.

I recently had a fitting - 1/2 inch short and 2 grams added

If you ordered it shorter and did not specify swing weight, they will make the appropriate weight change during the build to make it D2. Yes, swing weight can affect speed of the swing but also a personal preference in feel for someone who wants heavier to control face rotation.

I wonder the same thing about my set. I have been playing 150's at half inch increase. I recently cut them down the a quarter ext. Dispersion rate has gone down drastically. This is a very over looked part of the fitting process in most places, but sometimes not needed. I would look further with a experienced club fitter and get off web. Maybe try and couple different sw's and look at data.
