Pages of drivel
102 pages of summary, and then 15 pages of conclusion... we've all been aware of this for years...
multiple quotes by an inept leader, then this gem..
"we're too early in this"
Anyone who thinks Jack Nicklaus at 23 wouldn't have hit a 45 inch optimized Taylor made twist face and and multilayer ball 360+ yards a la Tony Finau on 18 Sunday simply is not a student of history or technique.
The guy broke 9 inserts in his 42 inch XX steel shafter driver in 1961.
Of course this generation hits it farther-better technique, physical conditioning, more athletes selecting golf, but to barely broach the subject of equipment(the 800 lb elephant in the room) in the blathering article just tells me it's more of the same. And quite frankly, I think it's probably actually too late as the golf world has adapted for better or for worse.
In 2002 with the ball and the increased rebound effect of thin spring-faced drivers by say '05. combined with the dialed in optimization of launch and spin-provided all the evidence these luddites needed, but they dug their heads deeper in the sand(preferring instead to invest their time in rendering Shinnecock green's lifeless)-digging them out of the sand now is quite frankly useless and insulting-especially at this point with many of current the gains coming from the player's training and technique themselves.
But they went after grooves, and anchored putters-then shoulder high drops.
Can't wait till someone wins with the stand alone putter-which is somehow legal in the bubble world these dottering fools live in.
