The clubhead is what strikes the ball. You're trying to make the clubhead go
faster. Putting the charge on the front of the clubhead will slow the clubhead
down.

Think of it like a shotgun. The powder detonation pushes the shot cup
forward and the gun backwards. Better yet, please try firing a shotgun
by detonating a large charge of powder between your shoulder and the
gunstock. This will demonstrate the principle for you.
