What is Moment of Inertia (MOI)?
When the term "Moment of Intertia" (MOI) is used in golf, it refers to a club head's resistance to twisting at impact.
All of us wish we could hit the ball exactly perfect, right on the sweet spot, every time we swing a golf club but, let's be honest with ourselves, that is not going to happen. When your shot is hit a little off-center you will either hit it more towards the toe or heel of the club head. A golf club with a higher MOI will twist less, with the result that it will go in the direction you were hoping for without losing distance.
This term is being used more and more in golf. Golf drivers these days are being designed in all sorts of ways to maximize MOI. The two most recent designs by Pinemeadow that increase the MOI are:
