MOI Matched Follow-up

It seems quite repelling to many purist to accept the concept of progressive swing weighting or MOI matching. Ironically, the concept of MOI matching is to achieve the goal that all clubs require to swing with the same force, it is SW matching that requires progressive higher force to swing clubs.

from lower numbered Iron to higher numbered Iron:

• MOI Matching = progressive higher Swing Weight = same force
• SW Matching = progressive lower force = same Swing Weight

Brought the MOI matched iron set to the golf course last weekend. Sometime ago, I started to believe that the first hit on course will determine if the newly adjusted golf club is a good fit or just a legendary theory. After a good drive on the 1^st tee, left me with approximately 185 yards to the green, I chose a 5 iron. Currently at D0.5, 419g and 37.75 inch long, it is one of the MOI matched club at around 423. I swung, and caught the ball clean, the response was good and I was delighted for a second, not to realize later that I was 1 club short in distance and also pushed to the right by 20 feet in direction. This was alarmingly disapproving according to my superstition. Considering the air temperature at 40F and wearing 3 layers of clothing, I suspected I was blocking myself, sending the ball right. It was not until later, that I found out I was pushing the balls all day long.

Here is what is interesting: I pushed every iron from 3 to 8 irons, my distance was 1 club shorter. There was no fat or thin shot, there was no skull and shrank shot. Consistency wise, it was really rewarding, performance wise, it was not proportional to the consistency

I returned to the driving range two days later and determined that my swing path was what cause to the push. I regained the distance and direction again. So far, MOI matched set is still amazingly rewarding, only at the driving range where it is the birthplace of all swing flaws.
