The Controversy Surrounding Golf Ball Rollback: Players and Manufacturers Weigh In
Rory McIlroy supports the golf ball rollback, stating that it will make no difference to average golfers and will bring back certain skills in the professional game. However, his own putting coach, Brad Faxon, disagrees, arguing that the difference in equipment between pros and amateurs is not significant. Faxon believes that changing the golf ball won't alter the fact that professional golfers are better and longer hitters than amateurs. The rollback may make the game harder for amateurs, but McIlroy sees it as a step towards sustainability and skill preservation in the sport.
