Center of Gravity (CG) - The point within the head of a golf club at which it would be perfectly balanced. The position of the center of gravity within a clubhead can affect the trajectory of shots. A CG position that is low and toward the back of a clubhead will, for example, encourage a higher trajectory.
Driver Lofts - Can be anywhere from 8 - 13 Degrees.
Gap Wedge (GW) Lofts - Can be anywhere from 50-54 degrees.
Kick Point - Kickpoint, also called flex point or bend point, is the point along a shaft's length at which it exhibits the greatest amount of bend when the tip is pulled down. Ball flight is affected by the location of the kickpoint, although to what extent is a subject of some contention. A general consensus is beginning to emerge that kickpoint has only a very modest effect on ball flight. A high kickpoint may help lower the trajectory of most golfer's shots; a low kickpoint may result in a slightly higher trajectory for most golfers.
Lob Wedge (LW) Lofts - Can be anywhere from 58-62 degrees.
Moment of Inertia (MOI) - "Moment of intertia" is the term applied to a clubhead's resistance to twisting when the ball is struck. For example, your swing is a little off and you hit the ball on the toe of the clubhead. A clubhead with a higher MOI will twist less as a result of the mis-hit, creating a better chance that the ball will still go where you intended and with less loss of distance.
Pitching Wedge (PW) Lofts - Can be anywhere from 47-53 degrees.
Sand Wedge (SW) Lofts - Can be anywhere from 54-58 degrees.
Torque - A shaft's resistance to twisting during a golf swing. A higher torque rating means the shaft twists more, and too much torque can lead to the head turning. Although torque does exist in steel shafts, the term is almost always used in relation to graphite shafts.
