O.B. and NMG,

Read this quote, please:

"The second example refers to the MOI of the clubhead about the shaft axis. Little is spoken about this MOI in equipment marketing, but it is an important head design factor that can affect the accuracy of the shot, not the distance. The bigger the head or the more weight that is placed far out on the toe of the clubhead, the higher the MOI of the head will be about the shaft's axis. The smaller the head or the more weight that is positioned in the heel area of the head, the lower the MOI of the head will be about the shaft's axis. The higher the clubhead MOI around the shaft, the more tendency there is for a golfer to leave the face open at impact. The lower the clubhead MOI around the shaft, the more tendency there is for a golfer to rotate the face more closed at impact."

Now, it seems that the closer is the sweetspot to the hosel, the easier is to rotate the whole clubhead, and viceversa. Going further, it seems that it would be the easiest for a golfer to a center-shafted club. OTOH, it would be more difficult to close the face of a very long-nosed club with a lot of weight on the toe part.
It got me thinking if:
- one could ever play with a center-shafted club and full swings without risking of a premature closure of the clubface;
- depending on a weight distribution it is possible to find a unique solution that would guarantee an automatic closure of the clubface while maintaining neutral torque in the arms the whole swing.
- lastly - it proves the theory that somehow the clubhead does not turn around the hosel, neither around the sweetspot (because the sweetspot depends on where the CoG of the clubhead is located), but rather around an imaginary line coming trough the MOI axis of the total club as NM Golfer suggested (that can come also through the sweetspot of the clubhead in many cases and maybe such clubs are "the best").

I wonder what are your comments on this, Gents.

Cheers
