Always heard the sweet spot was about the size of a dime so I thought I would see. Makes total sense why I can't hit sweet spot every time. Either its too small or that sucker keeps moving. This is my first attempt a posting pic from smart phone so I apologize if it doesn't work.

The sweet spot is actually the balance point of a golf club. So as you can probably understand, the sweet spot is only the size of a pinhead.

The goal of companies Is to make more of the face act like the center of the face. That has been deemed the modern day sweet spot.

Some people think toe weighting is for slice golfers and such, but in reality, the hosel brings the balance point closer to it. Toe weighting allows the sweet spot to be brought out back to the centre of the face. I would say most "real" sweet spots are much closer to the hosel than many people think. Especially on forged blades.

Edit: we did an experiment where we found the balance point, marked it with a golf club, shafted the club then hit the golf ball on that spot and compared it to the shot struck in the center of the face. The feel was much more "pure" if I remember correctly.

Nice info Thainer, I did not know any of that. Thx

[Fvmfrctt]

Great info Thainer. Thanks!

TapAhoy!

I agree, good stuff Thainer, I certainly did not know that most sweet spots are closer to the hosel, maybe that is why I can "pure" so many hosel rockets.

lmao. tapatalk hates me...


It is a pretty interesting concept and makes a ton of sense once you truly take it in. This is how it was explained to me in clubmaking. Id love to see someone with a shaft puller and some spare time try this experiment to see if they see similar results.

Hit with the hosel...who'd a thunk it. Another golf myth debuked.

Well they do say that the good players tend to miss nearer the heel....(that's my excuse anyway).

Really? I wonder what the reason is. I tend to miss on the heel side so I guess I'm the exception!

DUDE! You guys have sweet spots on your clubs? Where do I get those? hahaha. Honestly, I can understand what Thainer is saying. I feel like when I draw my irons and miss left they do feel better than when I fade them too much and miss right. Makes sense.
