World's Best Golfers Use 20 Year Old Golf Clubs

@@AntonVanDerSar Idk man, kinda agree with the above comment. If the golf club is easier to use, has a longer shaft with more flexibility, a bigger hit box with tons more forgiveness from a slice or draw. Then I'm gonna say yea, the club does most of the work for the mass majority. If you can NOT hit the same yardage with the same control on old clubs it's cuz the tech is doing major work. Sucks you suck that bad for playing so much but kudos mate. Enjoy.

[@anothercomputerguy]

Adam Scott has already come out and said that driver heads should be the focal point of the rollback instead of the ball. Not saying this video proves his point but it's an interesting demonstration.

[@back2back379]

Yeah, completely agree. I think the mini driver for example seems to go plenty far for these guys. It’s just the length that players are able to get with driver that’s causing issues, so why not just change the rules for the driver instead of punishing every club by changing the ball.

[@anothercomputerguy]

@@back2back379 He said something to the affect of "Driver used to be the hardest club to hit straight and far. Now it's the easiest with modern heads". It does seem that driver distance is the real outlier in terms of modern golf compared to prior decades.

If they gave all the players the same club w similar shafts as their normal clubs theyd hit them better for sure

[@jazzyjay4595]

It should be noted that 270 was not a normal distance on tour when some of these clubs were out there. Some of your longer guys, like Hogan, Nicklaus, Palmer, Snead, they could hit this equipment that far. But the average tour player was nowhere near that

[@plusfour1]

@@jazzyjay4595 270 was normal in the 80's (even short for the tour) but that was 40 years ago when they were using persimmon. These clubs are only 20 years old; from the early 2000's. They called them metal woods when they came out. Swings have adapted to the changes in clubs and balls over the years. If Rory had a month to figure out the equipment, he'd be hitting the ball 300 for sure. 20 years ago, Tiger and Daly were the big hitters and they were hitting it over 300.

Tiger, Nicklaus, Hogan, Knudson, Trevino, the list goes on.

[@aidangriffiths5075]

A lot of these bad shots are down to rubbish soft shafts and lofts too high for them

[@fuzzluvver69]

And even more are due to several of the players teeing up the ball too high, as was pointed out to one of them in the video (can't remember who without going back through it). I immediately noticed that loads of them didn't know the optimal tee height for these older clubs.

Exactly! But then the problem becomes Taylormade and Callaway couldn’t charge $700 for a driver which we all know is the real issue with golf.

For those saying to roll back the ball just watch this video.

Just make them all play muscleback blades and smaller drivers. Heck in this video some of these guys were hitting it off the map and would be punished for that in tournament play.

The reason you're seeing 160 to 170 mph ball speed it's because all of these drivers have 42-in shafts which correspond to a modern three wood.

So the balls have nothing to do with today distance, if so they will get the same distance. Distance come from club technologie........
