    I think that's a pretty normal position for them. The heads are all upside down in the photo.

      I noticed that in their pictures too. Odd to me, but figured that it essentially turns them into hybrid-sized clubs. Not sure if it helps, hurts, or is negligent for accuracy.

        Not a good spot. If a ball hits a dot they stop working. For me anyway.

          I'm glad this is being brought up. I have noticed the same thing - and have been intrigued by it - from Ian Fraser @TXG. I was going to ask him how he decides where to place the dots. I'd guess they try to triangulate where the true CG is in each club.

            If I could keep the ball between those dots, I wouldn't need club head data!

              That’s crazy. Have you ever seen demo clubs, those dots would be destroyed instantly. Maybe those are clubs for just the pros.

                Not exactly where Foresight suggests to put them. Close. But not what Foresight wants to see.

                I'm also curious if it makes the club appears "smaller" to the machine. And if it does, will it even matter?

                  That is the same pattern as recommended, but they are just much closer together. I'd bet they are doing that for better comparison between clubheads and I'd also bet that they are MUCH better at hitting the center of the club than we all are...
