Center of Gravity

Center of Gravity

Center of Gravity

The point at which the golf club is perfectly balanced vertically, horizontally, and in all other dimensions. At the center of gravity, the club will be balanced, no matter which way you measure it. Where the center of gravity of a club lies affects how the ball will react when hit (Wishon, About.com). The height and the weight distribution of the club head determine where its center of gravity lies. Club makers manipulate the location of the center of gravity to affect the performance of the club. Hitting the ball right at the club’s center of gravity can improve a golfer’s accuracy and trajectory and can send the ball farther than a swing that misses the mark (Lopez, GolfArticles.net). The center of gravity is also called the CG and COG.
