So happy your back.Iwas so worried that you were not making any more videos as I love the videos that you produce.I’ve literally been checking my feed for new video notifications from the vintage golfer every day lol
Ok, I’ll still suck. Years ago I thought they’d stop driver head size at 400cc. They stopped at 460.
My club pro tells everyone to play the tees that are 36x your 5i shot (in the air). If your 5 iron goes 200y then play 7200y tees. I hit my 5 about 168 so I shoot for 6000y. This means that if I crunch a drive I get to hit a 6-W into greens. It also means that I can hit 3i from the tee and still reach the green (strategy).
With everyone playing the shorter golf ball the longer hitters still have the advantage but now they will be hitting more fairways.
If you look at most golfers today they’re swinging at the ball faster on average. In the late 90s and early 2000s there was only a couple players on the PGA TOUR that were swinging it as fast as Tiger Woods and John Daly. Just look at the young junior kids and college players. Many are swinging significantly faster.
Comparing older drivers from the 90s to early 2000s to today’s drivers, today’s drivers are significantly longer from what I’ve seen in tests. So in the past 20 some years golfers have got a lot of help with distance. I don’t think the golf ball rollback is a bad idea and if it is too much for someone, they can always play up a tee box or practice more on their short game to compensate.
I know Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods have been vocal about rolling the golf ball back for quite some time. I think golfers have to look at the big picture and not just from a me perspective. People will still enjoy the game of golf just as they did. 20+ years ago. It still is going to be a fun challenging game that most people can’t get enough playing.
Do the roll back for the PGA / liv pro's and leave the rest of us weekend golfers alone i mean how many weekend golfers are driving the ball 300 plus yrds my best of best drive's was 220 yrds
i dont agree with it but i do kinda agree with mcilroy. we average golfers really arent going to notice. i mean we're talking 4yrs from now? we'll be lucky if we're even playing every weekend thanks to them greedy politicians. but for real, do i allllllways hit 300yds with a prov1? no. so how can i say that the rollback hasnt already started if my next game never hits past 280?
everytime im on a course and i happen to catch up to players, not a single time do any of them even have modern or even matching clubs. they all use dad's or grampa's vintage sets, so you really think they're gonna notice a ball not hitting the same distance?
If you dont play competitive events, you shouldn't care.
I kinda doubt theyre gonna stop making tbe balls we use today.
I'm a bogey golfer. I seriously doubt that I'll notice any difference. I golfed quite a bit in the 90's and I had a lower handicap. I golfed, maybe 1 round per year in the 2000's until 2021. Now I try to golf weekly. Clubs and balls are very different than when I golfed in the 90's. I have new clubs that I'm still getting used to and I'm always trying out different golf balls. My favorites/what's working for me are the TP5s and the Callaway SuperSoft mattes. My drives average about 225. I'm out to have a fun time with friends, getting a little exercise, a just enjoying the game.
Everybody hits the ball too far today, not just the Pros. Many average club golfers can reach par fives in two shots and they'll be hitting a lot of short irons and wedges into greens when playing par fours and expect to be able to drive the shorter ones.
We don't play the full range of shots any more, If he's got a good drive away, how often on a par 4 would a younger guy expect to hit a fairway wood into a green? Even the Pros used to have to do that on holes of around 450 yards or more.
Long ball Larry
The 99.9% shouldn't have to give up an inch because a few Pros hit it too far.
Agreed
The 99.9% were offered that as an option. The original proposal was to leave golf balls alone for the masses, and only change the balls used by pros. That was widely rejected because general golfers believe that they should be using the exact same equipment as the pros. That's what they want, that's what they get. Personally, I have no problem either way.
I think we should start reworking golf courses to play shorter with more potential for trouble. I mean everyone loves a great short par four, how about 14 of them!
@@sloebone7399 I disagree.
@@sloebone7399There is no reason course designers can't make shorter, but harder, courses. If they succeed, and attract players, they will build more of them. If players avoid them, they will die. Personally, I think they might be fun, but idk how the public as a whole would feel about them.
