further back the center of gravity can lie within the head, this too help increase the launch angle. By moving the weight further back also causes the ball to come off the face with reduced spin. Hireko, along with many major OEMs, try to move as much weight low and rearward as possible in their modern driver designs. This is the reason you see carbon crowns (Prophet) or screws located in the rear of the head (Genesis) or internal weighting positioned strategically within the head (Avatar).

The golf ball is another component to trajectory and overall distance. If you don’t agree, pick a brand new ball verses a range ball or one you dug out of your shag bag. This in itself can be a whole new article just devoted to the golf ball. This is one reason why operators of launch monitors might charge simply for a ball fitting.
