Golf Technology For The Masses
I was reading some reports from the 2007 PGA Merchandise Show and Convention and it appears to me that this year, more than ever, having the latest and greatest technology is more important than just enjoying the game for what it offers. Call me old-school I guess. There are the new drivers that come in all shapes and sizes, but more importantly, they have “MOI” (moment of inertia) rating as set forth by the PGA.
And what exactly does MOI do for the average golfer? Allegedly, it optimizes the resistance to twisting on off-center hits. Wow. I’m beside myself waiting to try them out. And there’s the new shaft technology called NanoFuse from TrueTemper, that also alleges to combine the best of graphite and steel shafts to create shafts that are second to none.
I also read an article in either Golf Digest or Golf that said 90% of most amateur golfers never realize the full potential of the latest technology, simply because they don’t have swing speeds high enough to make a difference (not to mention having questionable talent). But yet, the golfing public continues to spend hundreds of millions of dollars, ,annually to try and guarantee that perfect swing.
