Titleist Black
When players completed last weeks U.S. Open, I kept thinking that golf is like in another 30 years. Personally, I would have liked to see the team stay the same as in the 1960s. Before graphite really started coming into existence. I'm fine losing the corners until the mid 60 degrees. Is the distance golf balls travel now that I think ill be playing more than anything thing.
Arguably golf fans prefer watching a ton of birdies and eagles flew in scores, but a golf purist who want to see Photos on "Done" is not the problem remotely come into play as much as fact. You will always have the long hitters, but we will do the same team who played with Jack Nicklaus. If I am not mistaken, Nicklaus did not use graphite to the axles. Preferring Steel in Macgregor MT Woods. He did very well with them. Jack always thought it was more accurate without graphite.
The golf balls are also much tighter wound and Therefore, fly farther and you can put more impact on the ball. When he began his Titleist Pro V, changed course in reality the ball is at least 30 feet beyond the Maxfli, Wilson Staff, Spalding Titleist Black Point and original. I speak from 40 years ago, of course.
Surprisingly, Nicklaus and several other long hitters like Tom Weiskopf, could reach long par 5 in two shots. Most often, however, they hit a fairway wood or long iron into the green if could reach it at all. On the corner, and Weiskopf, who also came to Ohio as Nicklaus did. Tom Weiskopf had the talent to be a rough great player, but its use temperament to get the best of him and thus never reached the fame that many predicted for him. There were a couple of other professionals who can hit the ball a mile back in the day Nicklaus. Larry Ziegler was probably the longest of the best players but Larry never win a major tournament. He has won several small tournaments on the PGA Tour.
Can you imagine if 30 years from now the ball travels 30 yards and another pair with the Big Fat Controller. 400 yard tee shots could be the norm. I do not want to see happen, but it could be what the future of golf is in stores now. With the power of some of the longest hitters today are afraid to add another 40 yards to their tee shots.
