I have been thinking of changing my driver (Wilson Dd6+)for possibly a Nike sumo or a Cobra F speed. The all claim to have a higher moi rating,I am having difficulty finding out what the actual rating is.Any suggestions i have tried the makers websites,or is it something i should not worry about..

Why? Most drivers have an MOI more than sufficient for the task.

Do you hit a lot of mishits?

High MOI drivers go further and straighter on off center hits, but don't necessarily go as far when middled (my experience of them anyway). I don't go with this 'need to be able to work' a driver, so straight is good, but if you are a consitent ball striker you may not see any difference.

At risk of starting the old arguement again (sorry guys), you will see the most benefit from custom fitting to get the right shaft for your swing.

Stevo, talking from experience and still having treatment for tinitus STAY WELL AWAY FROM THE F-SPEED.


It is a noisey bat that doesn't fly as far as it sounds. Its all talk and no trousers. I opted for the Ping G10 but in all honesty I can't see past the Ben Sayers Benny driver (new £99) cos it has the same shaft as the G10 (Grafalloy red) which is worth £75 alone and it hits the ball a mile.
