Creative Commons License photo credit: diskychick     MOI means “moment of inertia,” a measure of resistance to angular acceleration.      Bottom line – it means how  quickly a clubhead will twist during impact when a golfer misses the sweet spot.    Every club in your bag is governed by this law of physics.

Amateurs require a high MOI, therefor, they  need a club that has the weight  moved far away from the center of gravity.   This type of weight distribution gives the player a great deal of forgiveness during mishits either high or low or heel  and toe.   Putters with high MOI are balanced better and will remains steady during impact.   Bottom line  - This is all about forgiveness.   For the average golfer it means using a set of clubs that will contribute to keeping your ball “in play,” at all times.
