He hopes to one day become a mystery novelist. We have worked with our partners overseas to come up with the best way to hit the ball longer than any other driver we have ever produced. However, I offer a comment I do not believe has been made.
I guess some of you must have forgotten about Mr. Then along comes a new golfer with little experience or skills but gets the same results using a NC driver. Controlling body compression at impact is critical to hitting consistently and improving ball speeds.
Would you ever play an illegal golf driver? - Is it 10 more yards with the driver? So in a way, the rules make the game fun.
It might even be a computer-aided design drawing -- an idea that has yet to come to fruition. But there's a reason this club that has tongues wagging hasn't come to market yet. Talk of nonconforming equipment has gotten louder and more constant. Not since Ely Callaway unveiled his ERC II in October 2000 has there been so much discussion about the possibility of a major equipment manufacturer essentially sticking it to the USGA and its equipment rules. It is a debate with no middle ground. Proponents will argue the game is at a crossroads -- participation is down, interest is waning and if we can just make the game a little easier for everyday players, it will raise all boats. On the other side are those who feel the game is fine as is, and anyone condoning or promoting rogue equipment must have red horns, a pitchfork and golf balls with the number 666 on them. So how close are we to a major company bringing a nonconforming club aimed at the masses to market? It's a touchy topic. Some consider it the third rail of golf. Others, however, had plenty to say. I think the street signs for the game aren't positive enough for someone not to try it. John Spitzer, managing director of equipment standards for the USGA, points to the fact that participation was flat from 2000 to 2008 -- a period in which golf enjoyed one of its most significant bursts in equipment technology. It's not 1,000cc drivers or a ball that goes 30 yards farther that's going to grow the game. Sometimes weakening the challenge can make a game or sport less appealing. Bowling, for example, saw a drop in participation when the number of 300 games rose precipitously thanks to synthetic lanes. And anyone who has ever played the Super Mario Bros. Golf, however, isn't really a game that can be mastered. And because of that, there does seem to be an appeal to making it easier. But to do so outside the rules is a stumbling block, despite industry leaders such as PGA of America president Ted Bishop being OK with the idea. Then again, nonconforming equipment from smaller companies already exists and is rarely used. A question recently posted on Golf Digest's Facebook page brought the issue to the fore. Many said using nonconforming clubs would be cheating. Then again, roughly one-quarter of the respondents said they were all in. Bring on the wacky, the weird and the wonderful. If it works, they'll buy it. Toulon says TaylorMade's internal research shows that number to be even higher. How big a role does peer pressure factor into the equation? Tom Wishon, founder and designer for Wishon Golf, which produced nonconforming clubs for many years until recently discontinuing the practice for lack of interest, says it is a huge consideration. It's brazen -- comparable to the golfer who whiffs under a tree branch and insists it was a practice swing. The failure of the ERC II also taught some lessons worth remembering. Club pros were forced into the role of equipment police at their facilities in terms of checking equipment used in tournaments and for posting scores. We also learned those steadfast in their position that golf should be played by the rules can have a powerful voice, as Arnold Palmer found out. And the King's crown was temporarily tarnished. Solheim believes there is still plenty that can be done within the rules. He also is a little tired of the negativity about the game that has stirred the nonconforming discussion. But the best way for that to happen is within the USGA rules, not outside them. But we're not looking at it. As far as the industry, I don't think we're too far away. Someone is going to give it a try. If we keep protecting all these things, we'll end up protecting nothing at all.

You might be right. If you cannot find your driver on the list, contact one of the governing bodies to inquire.

New technology has allowed us to create a golf driver that is nearly as long as something illegal but still be legal, so who needs to play something that breaks the rules. There is no need for the USGA to bifurcate their rules, that would be like the NFL bifurcating their rules so High School football could be played under the jurisdiction of the NFL. USGA approved for all competition and handicap matrix s Level 2. I went from my usual 220 to 255 on each of the first 3 holes. It just means that such a driver doesn't conform to the Rules of Golf and, therefore, is not allowed for use in any rounds of golf played under the illegal golf drivers tournament rounds and handicap rounds, for example. BTW, my bag is fully custom fit to eke out every last yard. Sean Delaney - Yep John Sabourin - Of course i would.
