Like everything else. Perhaps the governing rules of the game will also be modified to certain extent in the future.

How old is this game ? How old is the Religion ? If Catholic Church could change it's guidance after thousands of year, so will the game of golf after a few hundred years. If will morph and change, or perhaps a HYBRID form of this game will appear.
The ideal hybrid model is to take less than 3 hours to finish. Cost less and most certainly takes up less real estate to get similar experience. Virtual reality golf ?
Come to think of it, one of my favorite show , The Star Track had projected many of today's invention decades ago. Like the smart phone, artificial simulation,...... So a virtual reality is not that far fetched. Virtual gaming goggles is on the market already. In real estate , a buyer off shore in another country could put on a pair of virtual goggles and tour the interested property to have a tour as close as being there, walk from room to room, up and down the stairs......

Nothing could replace the real thing, However, in the big picture with more population and lomoted resources in the future, the game might suffer just being in the way of the progression. The real game might return to a side show belonging to the few privileged.

We are the fortunate ones to be able to enjoy it.

    In this day and age it's all about performance and price.....how much bang can you REALLY get for your buck?
    As far as copying someone else's design,with all the gimmicks,materials used etc.,it's pretty hard to come up with
    something that is totally earth shatteringly different that hasn't been done before.
    I say give it a shot, 'cause you never know what a golf ho will bite on! 🙂

    And of course there is this:

    Charles H. Duell was the Commissioner of US patent office in 1899. Mr. Deull's most famous attributed utterance is that "everything that can be invented has been invented."

    So, who knows?

    Tom Wishon also wrote a piece about 40g minimal weight having an effect.
    I think he was talking about his driver head design that had the internal moveable weight.
    Golfsmith head maybe?

      I am not arguing the math. Head rotation thru impact area and the amount of weight to increase or delay same doesn't take all that much. A slight delay is all that is needed. Same with front to back sliding weights to influence L/A. It's the degree of influence that determines the amount of weight.

      And that other guy you mentioned isn't he the advocate of shorter is better and yet now that theory is out the window as it's all about 2" overlength wedges on Sl irons? Just sayin.

        Theory works ONLY if the hands swing the golf club stays constant . The base for all the numbers changes then, it would be pointless for those numbers.
        If I have a choice between a healthy body and the most advanced technology applied to the golf clubs within the conforming rules.
        I'd take a healthy body and swing a set of 50 years old golf club any day.

        It always comes down to $ in the end. Just because some of us more "mature" individuals think something is a triple bag of horse hooey doesn't mean it won't sell. If the masses believe the latest tweak will help their game, then there is a market. I used to be in that market.

            I believe what Wishon said was it takes 40 grams to move the center of gravity on a golf club, not club performance.

              According to Mikes post it depends on how much you want to move it that would determine the weight. How have you been btw?

                  Bangoman And that other guy you mentioned isn't he the advocate of shorter is better and yet now that theory is out the window as it's all about 2" overlength wedges on Sl irons? Just sayin.

                  Two different subjects.

                      Steve:

                      All is well. To refresh your mind, I retired about 12 years ago from owning a full time shop. I only mess around with my own clubs now. So happy to be out of the business as I do not see how a small operation/shop can make any money at it nowadays. I will not even do work for friends as I see them as friends, not customers and I want to keep them that way.

                      My health is good for being 74. I play golf 2-4 times a week. My calling card reads:

                      Sleep Late, Play Golf, Drink, Eat, Repeat.

                      John

                          accufitgolf

                          I am slipping a bit John. I am very happy to hear you're happy and healthy. Your card says it all. Good for you John.

                            accufitgolf Did the same thing with my part-time shop. The only thing I will do for friends will be re-grip their clubs when they ask. And, they have to bring me the grips to install and there is no charge. I will do them while they are here so we can visit, have a beer while I'm changing grips.

                              Then ask yourself this Spuzz. Since the Axis point of the shaft is not in line with the COG how much weight does it take to influence head rotation? IMO not very much. Certainly not the numbers being implied.
