1d Except for putters, all of the heel portion of the club must lie within 0.625 inches (15.88 mm) of the plane containing the axis of the straight part of the shaft and the intended (horizontal) line of play (see Fig. IV).
There is a picture as well, but I'm not sure how to upload.

What they could figure 600 years ago could be that it was the easiest to make the club look like it looks now, i.e. that is not center-shafted...and not because it was mechanically the best tool to play golf.
For those just happening upon this thread, it was actually moved here from another thread and so some previous posts are missing.
It was originally about whether there are forces other than the rotation of the left forearm at play in the closing of the clubface through the ball. I argued the yes position, CF for instance.
The question of center shafted irons and their characteristics became a point of contention and so here we are.
Homer is on record is stating that the longer nosed clubs of the 1930's were a delight to hit as CF had more of an effect and therefor disruption was less likely.
I personally think that longer the clubface the slower the rate of closing. Cant imagine center shafted, face balanced irons as being easier to hit.
