It's all about MOI

MOI is the latest buzzword in the golf club industry. MOI stands for Moment of Inertia and all of the leading manufacturers are scrambling to get our products that have large MOI. I won't try to explain the scientifics of MOI (even if I could), but lets just say that when it relates to golf clubs it's supposed to mean straighter and further drives.

Just like the pro-line manufacturers, the component industry is hopping on the MOI bandwagon. One of the way all the manufacturers are increasing MOI is by using larger and different geometry club heads.

The new Snake Eyes Mamba uses a square head to increase MOI, as does the new Killer Bee B-Long driver. Both of these drivers are 460cc, titanium club heads.







Another example of increasing MOI is by expanding the overall dimensions of the club head. The new Snake Eyes Python XL driver head has been expanded to 5 inches, the maximum allowed by the USGA. This driver is a 460cc all titanium construction.








No matter which geometry you choose the end result is longer, straighter drives.
