What is Center of Gravity and Why Does it Matter to You?

For a couple of years now, CG (center of gravity) has been a buzz word when talking about the technology in metal woods, but one thing that is not often discussed is how the movement of it benefits the golfer and more importantly, what impact does it have on other characteristics like moment of inertia.
Odds are you have seen charts with CG placements labeled all over the place or watched ads that feature CG location, but what does that all mean? To get to the bottom of all of it, THP TV went to see Mike Yagley, from Cobra PUMA Golf, and ask the questions that people want to know in this fascinating episode of Tech Talk.

Master Yagley talking weight movement and CG and MOI making it so easy to understand, he's fantastic.

[@KMSchriver]

Great conversation! Thanks. Many slight improvements from this one. Thanks.

this type of in depth, complete explanation of the engineering behind drivers and their mass properties straight from the sources differentiates THP from everywhere else. was glued to the phone throughout the discussion. great job by Dean as well leading the convo to get all the answers from Master Yagley.

Great video, always learning something at THP!

It is interesting to learn about he science of it and how the CG moves. My best set-up with my F6 was with the weight forward and loft at 12 degrees.

This is just a fantastic video - detailed technically, without getting too in the weeds for folks without a physics background. Cobra's folks - Yagley and TO - do a really good job of explaining this stuff.

Matthew Peterson they really do, don't they? We are fortunate to have quite a bit coming up with the two of them.

Great timing on this interview. Always trying to learn more about the basics of club dynamics, and this was very foundational.

[@philmichel883]

Very interesting and fascinating interview! The concepts talked about are applicable to any similarly adjustable drivers and just how to "fine tune" them.

[@THPGOLF]

Thanks Phil. We found it incredibly fascinating as well. There is another one with Dean and Mike Yagley on non-conforming clubs and a virtual caddy that is equally as fascinating.

MOI vs Ball Speed...oh boy so many variables....I need to get fit.
