And likewise with the clubs.

The RNA tested this club a few years ago with a much reduced sweet spot.

And when players missed the middle, it went 30 yards less far.

My feedback was, well, implement that and the ball that goes less far.

And now we're talking about a serious rollback with some very interesting storylines attached and some context I think people would find interesting when they watch professional golf.

Whereas we have this bomb and gouge type game, which is largely boring and boring.

It isn't a rollback and I think it's unfortunate.

I didn't actually know this about Cam Young until you just highlighted that, which is fascinating.

Well, yeah, and my view was it's like when you play that game with a buzzwire.

I think it's called buzzwire or something like that where you have to follow the thing around.

Another one you mean, yeah.

Yeah, not hit the electric shock.

The point of that game is combining precision and speed, and the person that can do that in combination wins.

But when you have to be, when you have to be so precise, you tend to slow down.

So the whole point of a reduced sweet spot is the way it is, the impact it has on people's behavior.

And that's exactly what we should be trying to incentivize as a sport, you know, and so therefore the player that can swing with the most speed and hit the middle most often.

deserves fully to be you know far and away further up the fairway which I still think would benefit the Rory McIlroy's and the Cameron Young's of the world because they're so good at delivering the club you know consistently the way they do but um at the moment you can just get guys as we saw with Ludwig at the players just swing 180 miles an hour hit one way off the toe and somehow still go down the middle of the fairway it shouldn't happen and yet it does so

Yeah, there's lots that can be done.

But getting it across and over the line is going to be so difficult because of the commercial interests of the big manufacturers and, of course, the two major tours and the relationships they have with one another.

So the governing bodies are going to have a hell of a hard time making any true inroads, I would say.
