It is like everything else in the world, marketing is trying to cater to the "masses". Duffers want to play like the pros, and if some they do one thing wrong the clubs go flying through the air. I only played a few times when young (I think it is boring). I also noticed the cost of golf balls seem very expensive these days. I guess it is for all the research to make things easy.
It is like Tennis, when I was young we used regular size rackets. I stopped for a few years and I noticed people were playing with rackets that the string area was larger. At first I said they were using "cheating" rackets only to find out these were the new regulation.
So I agree, time to tone some things down. Pros should be challenged. Now I wonder if this happens if the tournament will supply the balls. (do they already do that?).
- dmurray 4y agoThe regulations didn't change. Tennis racquets were always allowed be that size, but wooden racquets as big as modern day ones would either be too heavy to swing or too frail to withstand the forces.
