The danger with the technology creep is that the sport turns into men's tennis. i.e. the dynamics slowly change until it becomes less varied and fans lose interest on the margin. All around skills fade away and it's more of a power game with fewer upsets. If it wasn't for all the course difficulty inflation, I'd argue that we'd be fully in that realm already. Instead we're just mostly there.
In tennis, one major unintended consequence of the tech (besides the serving dominance) is that passing shots, even when off balance are easy now compared to the past. Going to the net became a fool's errand and a generation of players learned to play almost exclusively from the baseline in response. Winners from the baseline require power. i.e. tech changed the dynamics of the sport itself in a way that nobody anticipated or desired.
Despite technology advances, racquet sales have plummeted by over 50% in the last 15 years. And the fastest growing sport in the US is now pickleball- an artful tennis variant that rewards placement and strategy over power.
I don't dislike playing modern golf with modern equipment, but I have increasingly been finding the pro game to be boring, just like tennis. I grew up playing tennis and loved to watch it. But I'd rather watch a game of curling than men's tennis at this point.
