Many Golf Shops and Golf Course shops often neglect quality adjustments because they lack the time, necessary quality machines, or the experience to perform them effectively. Have you ever noticed that when you swing your club, the Golf ball can veer off track by 15 to 30 degrees, even when you feel you hit it perfectly? If you're new to Golf, it might be due to needing more practice. However, it could also indicate that your Golf shaft is misaligned. Some Golf Shops and typically the Pro at the Golf Course understand the importance of aligning golf shafts so they bend correctly during your swing. While they may recognize that the Golf shaft needs to be aligned, they might not have the right machines to properly align each of your Golf Clubs. Just like in pickleball, where having the right paddle can make all the difference, having well-aligned golf shafts can significantly improve your game.
Golf maintenance services or adjustments you need are often partially handled at local Golf Shops in the Valley. While most may not have a Loft & Lie machine, if they do, it often lacks the precision to make a quarter-degree change in the Golf head of your clubs. Additionally, do they have the expertise to shaft align your shafts or MOI balance your clubs? Just like in paddle and pickleball, having the right equipment and adjustments can significantly enhance your game.
The way most Golf Shops balance your Golf Club, if they can do it, is to use a pivot balance machine that has been used for at least a hundred years. Wake up, it is 2024.
The old golf club balance scale measures the swing weight of a golf club, which is the club's balance point displayed on a scale. The swing weight of a club is measured on a 14-inch fulcrum that assesses the balance point of a club. This old system uses the terms balance and swing weight interchangeably. Are you confused yet? A sliding weight is used to find the amount of weight required to balance out the part of the club that hangs over the scale. The swing weight scale indicates what the swing weight of that club is and the range of weight the club needs to be to be "balanced." The swing weight of the club is what this scale also calls the balance point and doesn't tell you the weight of a club.
Sounds good to you? Not to us. Using this scale you can add weight to the grip part of a shaft and according to the scale the club is now lighter. No, it isn't. The club is heavier and the scale says it is lighter. Adding weight to the head will make it heavier on the scale and also the actual club weight. Don't you want all your Golf Clubs to swing the same? Just like in paddle sports, where balance is key, ensuring your golf clubs are accurately balanced is essential for optimal performance. Whether you're playing golf or enjoying a game of pickleball, understanding the balance of your equipment can significantly affect your game.
The best way to balance your golf club is to use a MOI machine. MOI stands for Moment of Inertia, a term in physics that refers to the energy required to move or stop something. In golf, that something is your golf club. It takes a specific amount of energy to swing your golf club, and this energy can be accurately measured using a golf MOI machine, similar to how a paddle is balanced in pickleball for optimal performance.
Every golfer has at least one club in their bag that they can swing well almost every time they use it. When we MOI balance your clubs, we take that one club and measure it on our machine to obtain the preferred MOI reading.
With that MOI measurement, we then adjust all your clubs to match that specific MOI reading. This represents the true swing weight every golf club should have, and it’s a standard that every golf club maker and repair shop should utilize. By matching the MOI measurement across all clubs, it ensures that the same amount of energy is required to swing each club, leading to more consistent ball striking.
The traditional scale measurement does not assess the MOI of a club; instead, it measures the weight of the club at the 14-inch fulcrum point. Ask yourself: would you prefer to balance your club at the 14-inch fulcrum point, or balance the entire club? We believe you would want to match the swing weight of the entire club with all your other clubs, rather than just a point on a club.
We could make golf clubs to fit your swing, but as a small golf shop, we cannot afford to purchase a Golf Simulator that can record the measurements needed to customize your clubs. Instead, we recommend visiting a Golf Shop where they can take the measurements for you. They will let you try out different golf shafts and golf heads to find the one you like best. Afterward, they will order the clubs for you and assure you that they will customize them to your swing and ability. However, keep in mind that their customization might not include aligning the shafts or ensuring all your clubs are MOI-balanced. Once you have played with them for a few rounds and know which club or clubs you hit the best, feel free to contact us to make the final customization adjustments for you. And while you're at it, if you're also interested in paddle sports, consider how a pickup game of pickleball can complement your golfing skills!
