That's the point ! Hell knows why aren't there face balanced clubs, but IMO not because someone wanted to make golfer's life harder.
I would risk to say that because of tradition. Backing to the middleages when golfers played with wooden stick bent at one end (looking similarily to a walking stick for elderly people)...and it was much easier to manyfacture it instead manufacturing a center shafted club.
Sir Winston Ch. could be right - we are playing with tools that are wrongly designed to this goal...

I agree... Its because golf clubs are "supposed to look that way". So many sub optimal things we get stuck with because of decision made long before. Someone mentioned the standard keyboard which was deliberately "de-tuned" to slow typists down to avoid jamming in ancient mechanical devices.

I'd like to see someone risk it ... at least for the driver which bends every which way due to inertial forces.
