Center of Gravity (CG)

CG location is arguably the most important aspect of golf club design. Its precise placement will promote drastically different performance characteristics: 

Front CG: Lower spin, lower launch, higher ball speed
Back CG: Higher spin, higher launch, higher stability (MOI)

Heelward CG: Promotes draw bias
Toeward CG: Promotes fade bias

Finding the right CG for your swing unlocks your best performance. Because of this, locating a golfer’s preferred CG location is a critical step in the clubfitting process.

At a basic level, CG is a product of weight distribution throughout the clubhead. If weight is added to the heel, the CG moves heelward. This is where metalwood adjustability comes into play.

Beyond an initial fitting, certain metalwood models allow golfers to fine-tune CG placement on their own. With a simple twist of a wrench and slide of a weight, they can modify the club’s performance tendency to accommodate current swing tendencies, course setup, or playing conditions.
