Phil: "I don't think there have been significant changes in equipment" "We are just better athletes"

Phil in 1994: 273.7 yard average

Phil in 2020: 305.1 yard average.

Sure.

@JillFilipovic Wonder if the corporate power of the largest homebuilders in the country has anything to do with the supply issue...

@calebhannan Homicides were at a 20 year high in 2023, there was then a 31% decrease in 2024 (bringing it to the lowest amount since 2019) and have decreased another 12% this year.

You can't accuse someone of flagrantly obfuscating with data that is incorrect.

[Centerline Golf @Centerline_Golf]

@AtoZ_Payton I get the point, but isn’t part of that still on him? Part of his role is to diagnose blitzes, or audible into the best play based on the defense.

No football game is solely on one person, but he deserves a good amount of the blame (as well as Ben Johnson for multiple reasons)

[Centerline Golf @Centerline_Golf]

@LukeKerrDineen Isn't this already happening pre-roll back? Have yet to see a single argument that would explain why a universal roll back would expedite this.

The understanding of strokes gained data and the forgiveness of a modern driver, is the leading cause. Not a potential 5% rollback.

@AtoZ_Payton Can a player reject a waiver claim if they are looking to join a contender?

@notthefakeSVP @BarstoolBigCat @dgord_tweets @TaylorMadeGolf My taylormade SIM driver head cracked, and my retailer never got me a replacement (was in warranty). Any chance we can get that squared away too?

[Centerline Golf @Centerline_Golf]

@practicalgolf Do you consider "trajectory control" having more shots? I do not know very many good golfers, who cannot control their trajectory and hit a number of shots with the same club.

Same thing with wedges and short irons. If you only have "stock" yardages, you are going to struggle.

@chambleebrandel If your house is on fire, do you sit there and wait to figure out why it’s on fire? Or put the damn fire out?

[Centerline Golf @Centerline_Golf]

@brianslionsblog Seems like this should apply for jamo too

@ProFootballDoc what’s your call on branch?!

“One of golf’s unifying appeals is that everyone in the game plays by the same set of rules [TIO ?], can play the same courses [over a dozen private courses on TOUR schedule], and with the same equipment [ “For Tour Use Only”]”
- @Titleist

[Andrew Crowe @andrew_crowe5]

Lol at titleist claiming the fabric of the game is being able to use the same equipment as the pros then stamping “For Tour Use Only” on putters. @AndyTFE @BrendanPorath

@Jonblsnow @MMGOLFSTUDIOS @USGA @AJGAGolf That’s a new one! So bernhard langer is just a better athlete now than he was in his prime?

[No Laying Up @NoLayingUp]

If anyone in this discussion wants to make comps to other sports, please come with specifics as to how it relates to *equipment* in that sport.

There's already rules around athletic shoes in running. And they're changing!

[Andy Johnson @AndyTFE]

For the "onerous R&D costs” argument of rollback, right now Titleist has researched and developed a custom version of the Pro-V1 that is being used by less than a dozen Tour players.

[Centerline Golf @Centerline_Golf]

@MMGOLFSTUDIOS @USGA @AJGAGolf If you are good enough to be considering the tour, or high level am golf, you can figure this stuff out. It's just not the massive issue you are making it out to be.

[Centerline Golf @Centerline_Golf]

@MMGOLFSTUDIOS @USGA @AJGAGolf So they need to get used to two different balls? You could sort that out with a couple trackman sessions.

Kids also already deal with this! They hit the ball further when they are 16 then 15 etc. I lost about 20 yards from 2021-2022 (knee surgery). Didn't take long to adjust.
