I'm highly interested in MOI matching and building the perfect set of clubs. I have a few questions about this.
As far as your driver goes is it better to get fit for a head/shaft combo, get the launch and spin correct, and then do the MOI matching?
As far as the irons go, same question. Find a set of heads that you like, get fit for the correct shaft?
I want to get the Ping G30. I hit this club the straightest I've ever hit a driver and I was recently fit for a Project X Black 7.0 in this head and the numbers were ideal and I could hit it straight.
Would MOI matching change the launch/spin of this combo or would it just make the "heft" of the club feel better after the you get the right combo?
I'm going to a fitter to do all of this for me because I don't have any experience doing this and I want it done by and expert.
How would you go about doing this?
Any help is appreciated. |

Yes.
You do the MOI fitting and matching last.
The only caveat I will add is with irons...you can tweak the lie angles last if you're doing MOI matching.
Once the MOI matching and fitting is completed, the impact dispersion will become much tighter. If the lie angle is not properly fitted, the impact dispersion will STILL be tight...it just may be a tight dispersion around the toe or a tight dispersion around the heel.
I think the concept of using 0.5 degree or 1 degree lie angle increments and assuming they will fit your swing perfectly is a bit optimistic. The shafts can droop a different amount and with the improved impact dispersion with MOI matching...one can go thru each iron and see where the impact is being made and alter each club accordingly.
I think the 0.5 or 1 degree lie angle increments gives a pretty good estimate, but there is bound to be some clubs that react a little differently to influence where on the club you're making contact.
Anyway...
MOI matching may change the spin and launch a little because you're *likely* adding weight to the head. Although if I were hitting that club that well...I wouldn't change anything about it.
Usually what happens is golfers try out a club and they love it and when they purchase a new one it doesn't quite feel the same. Sometimes the MOI for the club they tried is different from the new club they bought. For me, I can tell the difference when there is only about 10-15 MOI points difference. That translates to roughly 1-gram. When it starts getting to 20-25 points, then it is really noticeable.
I think there are many golfers like this...but there are also many golfers that are not nearly as sensitive in their feel of the club. Doesn't mean one is better than the other, it's just how golfers function.

So you have a driver that you hit long and straight? The Launch is correct and the spin also? Why would you ever consider to change that perfect combo by changing it MOI? Really makes no sense at all to me....

Really makes no sense at all to me.... I agree. Although it usually means to me that they hit it long and straight when they take a good swing and make good contact. When they don't take a good swing, which is probably just as often, they don't hit it long and straight and that's why they start asking questions about tweaking their equipment. It's kinda like the player that tells you that they hit it 300 yards. Yeah, when they hit it as well as they possibly can and the conditions are ideal. But reality is more like they hit it about 270 yards. 3JACK |
