LA Golf

Why we like it

Moment of inertia sounds wonky, but it’s simple: “Replace heavy with light where you can. Redistribute heavy to make the head deliver consistent speed for every impact.” LA Golf’s mallets get rid of “heavy” in the body, replacing it with “light” (carbon composite, which is five times less dense than steel). This frees up room to redistribute “heavy” (dense tungsten) at the tips of this pronged mallet. The result is ultra-high MOI, or stability on off-centre hits, so that your worst hits still roll close to your best hits.

• The standard shaft is LA Golf P-Series for less twisting.
• Two models (Malibu, Malibu X), three hosel options (slant neck, face-balanced slant, plumber’s neck); head weight: 363 grams; lengths: 33-36 inches; loft: 1-4
