How good does it feel when you strike the ball right out of the sweet spot? Pretty special, right? As much as we'd all love to, striking the centre of the clubface on every shot isn't realistic, which is why opting for some irons with added MOI could make all the difference. |
What is MOI? An iron’s actual sweet spot is no bigger than a pinhead, with anything struck outside resulting in the clubhead beginning to twist at impact – this is what is commonly referred to as MOI. The higher a club's MOI, the more stable it is through impact and therefore more resistant to twisting. So... Higher MOI = More forgiving |
The secret to better strikes So, here's the secret to getting that special feeling more often with your irons: - Coaching – Yep, let’s take some time to assess your swing to ensure you're giving yourself the best chance of success
- Try out PING’s G410 irons – These great looking game improvement irons feature toe and hosel weighting to increase MOI for more forgiveness
Let’s start getting a little extra forgiveness back in your game with a fun-filled custom fitting session with your local PGA professional – that’s us!
