I just don't think this is right.If you're really wanting to add weight to close the face during the swing, my intuition would be to put it in the toe. However, I point you to my previous post
The weight in the heel is for gear effect - the face is supposed to turn open at impact, which in turn puts draw spin on the ball.

This might be correct and makes sense to me. The impact causes the face to twist and promotes a draw strike.I dont think the weight affect the heel/toe movement in flight, but its only on the contact that weights, and weight position, has an influence by affecting the twisting motion of the head for strikes not in line with the centre of mass of the head.
Yes. I'm starting to think that the reason I don't notice a difference is that two effects are cancelling each other out.I think for most golfers thats the case - it makes no difference. For those with consistent face impact location though, where and how much weight will affect the twisting and gear affect correction, when they do miss the sweetspot.
I think its one of these cases where the fundamental science of it is truly correct, but the transfer of that effect to most golfers is too small to make any practical difference. But the manufacturers arent going to point out that their tech only has relevance to 1% of us (and Im not in the 1%).
1. More weight in the heel does create more draw-bias.
2. But more weight in the head generally makes it harder to square the face potentially.
