In fact, it’s very possible Stealth isn’t even a metalwood.

Larry Bohannan is The Desert Sun golf writer. They just want to see birdies and eagles and a 62 or so every week in each tournament. And players are more conscious of trying to hit the ball a long way, modifying their swings to launch the ball rather than bunting it down the middle of the fairway safely.Īre four non-conforming drivers – that we know of – in the British Open a cause for concern for tournaments and fans? Or, like steroid use in baseball, is it something that fans just don’t care that much about as long as they can still see massive drives and eagle putts? My guess is fans don’t care that much about non-conforming clubs or terms like “characteristic time” or measurements in microseconds. Players are bigger and stronger and some spend as much time in the gym as they do on the back of the driving range pounding golf balls.
