Higher Launch Angle for 2030 Reduced Distance Balls??
Posted: Wed Dec 06, 2023 9:27 am
The USGA/R&A have announced a new formula for measuring the distance a golf ball may go (aka as "The Rollback). The proposed reduction will have a minimal effect on my 83-mph driver swing. If I am still playing in 2030, it might be helpful if I work on hitting the driver higher. That should help us slow swingers minimize the effects of the proposed "dead" ball. Who knows, if I work at it now, I may be carrying a solid driver hit 200 yards when I am 78.
Of more concern is the statement by the USGA/R&A that they plan to look at drivers (or 1-woods for LB) and their ability to get more distance and forgiveness. Might they take away my 460 cc driver clubhead??
