What are MOI Matching, FLO and Spine aligning ???????

The MOI of any object is a measurement of its resistance to being placed in motion around a defined axis of rotation. Related to golf clubs, if each club in a set requires a different amount of force to swing the club (set the club in motion to rotate around our body), it stands to reason that the golfer cannot be as consistent swinging each different club in the set. In most simple form, this is what sets MOI matching apart from matching clubs to the same swingweight.


Swingweight matching does not make each club the same in terms of the amount of force required by the golfer to swing each club and hit the shot. MOI matching does. However, because golfers can be quite different in their strength, tempo and swing mechanics, the right MOI must be identified and fit for each golfer to allow the concept to properly work.


Virtually all golfers who play frequently may have noticed they have a “favorite club” or clubs within their current set, or within a previous set of clubs. A “favorite club” may be defined as a club with which the golfer is most consistent over all others, and which the golfer has the utmost confidence in their ability to hit the ball solid and on-center more often than the other clubs in the set. After research and testing, TWGT believes that a one reason golfers have “favorite clubs” is that the MOI of those clubs happens to match the strength, tempo and swing mechanics of the golfer noticeably better than the MOI of other clubs.


One way to find the right MOI for any golfer is to ask the golfer to bring forth a “favorite club” from any set they may own or have used. The “favorite club” is measured for its MOI using the Auditor MOI Speed Matching System, after which the other clubs are then built to match the MOI of that “favorite club(s)”.


Spine finding and FLO "Flat Line Oscillation" are methods used to find the spine of a shaft, this spine can then be aligned in the correct position in the clubhead so the shaft can work at optimum consistency during every swing. Please watch the video below to see the dramatic effect that incorrectly aligned shafts can create, you can then start to understand inconsistencies in a set of golf clubs, I certainly want to make sure the clubs I play are as good as they can and I'm sure you will want the same.
