DQOTD: What's the Downside of High MOI?


Middler

Recommended Posts

Is there a case for too much MOI? I am thinking about an Evnroll ER5B or Outback. Kinda like the looks of both, and I rolled both briefly at a PGA Superstore last Nov - seemed to putt about the same with both. Is high MOI always a good thing in a putter?

I think I have a slight arc stroke, I'm definitely not SBST.

High MOI putters don't necessarily want to rotate so if your stroke requires more of a gated stroke it may not be the best option.  Additonally it may be harder to feel off center hits.

I don't know if this is inherent to higher MOI putters, or if it's something else, but when I've tried them, my distance control turns pretty junky.  

Could just be me.  <shrug>

Head weight would likely be higher in high MOI putters. Could bring issues regarding control in your stroke having to move extra weight. Could be part of NRJyzr's distance control issues.
