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?
Oh I had them alright. Set of 1978 Wilson Staff tour blades. It was just that when the Ping Eye 2 came out, golf life was so much better for me.
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"
.
I can't say that I've ever used the Rock-Flite's. But back in the day I wouldn't use the Titleist balata covered ball either. The things just spun too much for me exagerating my natural draw way too much
I'm just saying that just because the pros are using it doesn't make it right for me or that i can even use it effectively.
