HOW IT'S MADE: The 1999 Hogan Apex Blades
A third of the way down this link - it states that "the underslung hosel shifts the shaft axis closer to the COG for easier workability"
Seems that the heelwards displacement of the COG which comes from the blade-on-blade muscleback design and the long hosel made this even more exaggerated....but brings the hosel into play for anyone with a variable strike pattern.
My diagram for simplicity (underslung top, normal bottom):
Which when taken to the max and offset gives:

Does this mean that there is less tendency for the shaft to rotate around the sweetspot plane?? Clubface stays squarer to plane for longer? Is there risk of some loss of distance?
Thanks for thoughts or physics.
