It's easy for the weekend golfer to get lost in all of the latest technology being hyped as the equipment that can change your game.
Whether it's C.O.R. for drivers or M.O.I. for putters, it can become overwhelming trying to decipher exactly what the equipment manufacturers are selling.

First things first. "Moment of inertia," or M.O.I., is a property of physics that indicates the relative difference in how easy or difficult it will be to set any object in motion about a defined axis of rotation. The higher the M.O.I. of an object, the more force will have to be applied to set that object in a rotational motion. Conversely, the lower the M.O.I., the less force needed to make the object rotate about an axis.
So how does this benefit you when standing over a 20-foot birdie putt? The size and weighting properties of a clubhead can be manipulated to add a greater M.O.I. High-M.O.I. is an important component in clubs that are described as "forgiving." When using a putter with most of its weight placed toward the back, the less of a chance of you mishitting a putt.
TaylorMade Golf has designed an innovative putter called the "Monza Spider," built with steel wire-frame head construction with a light aluminum core that pushes increased weight to the perimeter, boosting M.O.I. to promote remarkably consistent distance on off-center hits. Its Movable Weight Technology (MWT) allows substantial weight to be concentrated in areas far from the face, shifting the center of gravity far rearward for increased M.O.I. and stability.
So the next time you "mishit" a putt, just imagine what would have happened had you owned a high-M.O.I. flatstick, like the Monza Spider series from TaylorMade Golf.
