Center of Gravity

The point within a golf club head where the weight is perfectly balanced in all directions, significantly affecting club performance, feel, and ball flight characteristics. Center of gravity positioning influences launch angle, spin rates, and forgiveness on off-center hits. Understanding CG concepts helps golfers appreciate club design and make informed equipment choices. Modern club design manipulates center of gravity to optimize performance for different swing types and playing preferences. CG location affects club stability, energy transfer, and overall playing characteristics.
