From my golf days i recall not being able to use what the big dogs were using. They used these thin forged blade clubs with the smallest sweet spot immaginable. Personally, it was easier for me to hit the perimeter weighted clubs because they were more forgiving to us hacks.
Is it because you couldn't use it.....or it wasn't available to you?
I used MP14's, MP29's (I think that was that model) and a set of Cleveland Classic Byron Nelson Blades that Roger himself had made for me. The top equipment was available to you.
Your analogy brings up a good point, though. Lots of guys are using equipment (in golf and in archery....because target archery and golf are strikingly similar).....not because it's the "best". They're using it because it's cheap and user-friendly.
Probably more guys hitting TopFlite balls every weekend around the US than any other ball. But I don't think anyone in the know would tell you it's the "best"
