"In the last 25 years, designers have developed clubs that have approximately the same weight as the older clubs but have it distributed around the perimeter of the club, so that the head is far more resistant to off-center twisting and therefore far more forgiving of golf swings that are off line by a few millimeters."

I am trying to explain why perimeter weighted golf clubs are more resistant to off centre twisting than homogenous density clubheads using a physical model.I am having trouble figuring out what the club head's axis of rotation should be. Since it is fixed at the heel by the shaft, one might expect that to be the axis of rotation but then a collision in the centre of the clubhead would cause twisting.
Can anyone explain how perimeter weighted golf clubs lead to a straighter shot when balls are misgarbage (when the ball is hit with parts of the clubhead other than the centre)?
