About the Offset of Golf Clubs

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chicago, Illinois, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) September 7, 2011 --

Some of Callaway golf clubs are designed without hosel, to pursue better feel and kick back effect, especially old Callaway drivers. The hosel design is directly related to the torsion of golf clubs. Offset hosel is helpful to increase the hitting distance, but may correspondingly lost accuracy. Callaway golf claims that it’s offset hosel hybrids-Callaway Diablo edge hybrid keeps the face closed at impact, which enhance the ball flight pattern from the right to left. Callaway golf clubs Co. once tried to position the tungsten screw, making the gravity angle of the driver was biased toward the draw side.

Then what is the definition of offset? Offset refers to the hosel is set in front of the leading edge of the clubface. Early golf clubs didn’t have offset until 1970s when Ping golf created the precedent. From then on, offset design was widely use. This design is used almost in golf irons, golf drivers, fairways and golf hybrids designs. Callaway golf clubs begin to join this the distance between the gravity center of club head and the axis of shaft is fundamentally determined by the hosel. As to the inset, the inset hosel is to make the distance between shaft axis and CG shorter and therefore effectively minimize the toe-down and shut-face phenomena.

What is the importance of offset? Firstly, offset design makes the distance between the gravity center of clubs head and shaft is far, which is able to bring high trajectory of the ball. That is to say, more offset makes the ball fly higher in the air. Secondly, offset adds time that golf players spend on the downswing to rotate the face of the club head back around, fully prepare to arrive at impact closer and be square to the target line. So another advantage is offset is able to reduce the rate of slice or fade the ball. To sum up, through positioning the leading edge behind the hosel offset encourages players to lead the hands through impact, which helping the club head to hit down on the ball and get the ball effectively into the air. Offset will close the face slightly bringing pull to slice a straighter shot.
