    Hey everyone! Just curious if anyone knows if Titleist fitters look at MOI matching for irons (or any club) over using swing weight. I have a fitting coming up for the new irons and just wanted some insight if that gets taken into consideration. At the end of the day, we ideally want to have the lightest club we can control that can sustain our swing.

    Typing this I realize I might be going down one of the many rabbit wholes in golf but any thoughts or insight would be appreciated!

    In mine, and most fitters’ experience, MOI is not a reliable metric for improving a player’s results. Try the recommended options and select the best one for your swing that produces results. If the ball is going generally where you expect it to, I couldn’t care less what the specs are.

    Say hello to Bugs…

    As part of your fitting, you can expect or ask for multiple shafts during the fitting. The standard static swing weight is D2-D3. During the fitting, you can try various weight shafts. For example, 90-120 g metal shafts. Or 60-95 g graphite. Different flexes of the same shaft will vary in weight, as well. More importantly is settling on a shaft whose kick points, etc, match your swing.

    Technical measures don’t outweigh feel. If it takes the full hour, that’s why they allocate that much time.
