What, in the golfswing is longitudinal COG? or is there a better way of explaining that aspect of the machine.
Look up Sweetspot in the Glossary of the Golfing Machine. Essentially the lengthwise center of mass of the golf club. If you let a golf club hang from the grip end and also have a weighted string hanging from the grip end - the string would show you the longitudinal center of gravity of the golf club and the point in which it passes through the clubface is the sweetspot. If you tap on the face to the left or right of the sweetspot - everything will rotate around that longitudinal center of gravity.

P.S. The only reason Drew is posting is to stay ahead of me in total posts - just an FYI for those interested.
