Amazing Grace, how sweet the spot that saves wretched putts like
yours. They say nothing is truly idiot-proof, but the MacGregor Bobby
Grace V-FOIL MOI putter busts out all sorts
of engineering trickery in its Quixotic quest to straighten out your
short game. (By the by, you also might want to start laying off the Woot wine by the time you reach the back nine. Fat, drunk, and five-over-par is no way to go through life, son.)
Like
all the greats, MacGregor makes it look so easy. Start with a brilliant
design by golf-club auteur Bobby Grace. Take a solid block of aircraft
aluminum (ask a neighbor to borrow one if you’ve run out). Mill it into
a V-FOIL shape, with an angled bottom for reduced drag. Add a beryllium copper face insert, copper-tungsten
weights to put the center of gravity behind the ball, and whatever
other stray members of the Periodic Table you can wrangle. Top it off
with a center shaft for high MOI, and -
What’s that? You don’t know what “high MOI”
is? The letters stand for “moment of inertia,” which helpfully reveals
nothing about what it actually means. It’s the way a golf-tech geek
(they do exist) would say that the head putter head won’t spin on its
axis (i.e., the shaft), so it’ll meet the ball straight-on and your
putts will start dropping and you’ll start winning and you’ll keep
winning and a kingdom of peace, brotherhood, and low scores shall reign
evermore.
Or maybe it won’t. There’s only so much even Bobby
Grace can do, after all. Bobby Grace putters may be the most popular
line on the PGA tour that doesn’t pay
players to use them, but that doesn’t mean it can take your baloney
game and turn it into sirloin steak. Take heart, though: even if the
MacGregor Bobby Grace V-FOIL MOI putter doesn’t win you a green jacket on the links, you can probably re-sell it and use the money to buy one.
