EVEN IF he shaft is bent like a "7" and hung on the edge of a table with the grip pointed NORTH- ( that would be southern cross for that part of the world where the blood rushes to your head). So the sweer spot is aimed by the computer??? Unless OTHER phisics can be added??? This is a valuable discussion due to HK emphasis on Sweet Spot I believe. Yes?, No?, Maybe?

Seriously:
We must add/change our vocabulary.
COG is a very specific and limited term- relates to weight- a mass within a uniform force, gravity. I would like to hear the physics discussed using MASS, ACCELERATION and FORCE, CENTROID com and MOMENT. (basic F=MA) because therein lies the physics of the golf club/swing.
