    Seriously? @GolfChannel ? Why should a player "graciously" accept a penalty that they honestly feel that they didn't deserve? If someone shows me a DEFINITIVE camera angle that sh…

    A reminder of how we got to today's "oversize" drivers. The shaft was the genesis. 1. Shafts became lighter and stiffer which allowed for drivers to be lengthened. 2. With a longe…

    As an add-on to my driver shaft post... the same shaft flex and weight considerations can be applied to all other clubs.
