It is interesting from the tour player perspective because they have very repeatable swings. However do these same tests with 10 handicap players and the results are drastically different. The OEM's have come a long with helping the average player get better with more forgiveness.

Also keep in mind that the modern ball is geared towards working with the modern club and vice versa.

Is the more forgiveness a good thing?With the old clubs if you didn't hit em you knew.You had to learn cause the forgiveness wasn't there.Don't get me wrong I'm all for the forgiveness aspect but didn't the old sticks force you into being a better ball striker?
