Driver Center Of Gravity
Driver Center Of Gravity
Description
Modern driver head design is an exact science with powerful CAD software being used by every manufacturer these days. With these powerful software applications, the center of gravity (COG) can be moved up and down, forward and back to dramatically alter the performance of a golf club. This video focuses on the COG because it impacts where the ball should be struck on the face for maximum performance.
Video Practice Points
- Center of gravity (COG) imparts maximum energy transfer, minimum twisting, and less spin than below COG
- Find and mark COG (not the center of the face) by balancing the driver head on a point
- Use a loft/lie gauge to determine loft at the COG (generally greater than loft stamped on the club)
- The point of max COR is the true center of the face - this point imparts greater spin than the COG
- The higher your swing speed, the more detrimental spin is to your overall distance
- Reduced spin at the COG more than compensates for the slight loss of ball speed from hitting above the point of max COR
