Centre of Gravity on irons is essentially where the weight is placed. If the sole of the club is wide and thick the COG is low and hits the ball higher with more spin.
Similarly, if the head is smaller and the sole is thinner the COG will be higher and the ball will fly lower with less spin.
With today’s new drivers that have sliding or screw in weights you can affect the COG and move the weight and pull the COG to a position that affects the ball at impact to suit the ball flight you need.
Move the heavy weight into the heel side of the club and make the ball draw more.
Do the opposite and move the weight towards the toe and you will see more of a fade.
On fairway woods especially 3 woods we find that a low centre of gravity works best for most golfers.
We find that the science of a low COG helps to get “under” the ball and get the ball in the air easier off the fairway
