But the club face sweet spot is connected to the hands via the hossel and shaft not some imaginary line connecting it. If it were not constrained by hands gripping the shaft connected to the hossel, the face would want to open (not close) on the downswing as the inertia caused it to want to line up with hossel on the plane. Since I'm the only alcohol virgin on this website, I may be the only one that remembers this trick. They don't call me the lifetime designated driver for nothing. I remember things that happen in bars. The COG of the fork and spoon is not inside the fork or spoon. But, we can identify that the Z axis of the COG runs through the edge of the glass, where the toothpick rests. I'm sure that this is the point that you're making. But, it's a nice trick to leave the waitress. It's a real head scratcher. There can be a rotational center that runs through the COG, and this is what we're seeking. We're looking on the Z axis, as a center of rotation could be found on other axes. The Clubshaft cannot be a center of rotation, since there is nothing on the underside of the hosel to counterbalance the Clubhead.
