The Controversy Surrounding Golf Ball Rollback: Impact on Weekend Golfers and Manufacturers

The USGA and R&A have decided to implement a golf ball rollback, changing the way the golf ball travels at all levels of the sport. As players are hitting the ball further due to physical strength and technological advancements, the ball is traveling tens of feet more after being hit. The rollback aims to address this issue by making the ball travel shorter distances. However, this decision has sparked debate, with some arguing that it will make the game more difficult for newcomers and change the way existing players play. The golf ball rollback is seen as a way to level the playing field between professional and recreational players, but critics argue that it goes against the inclusive nature of the sport.

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.

Golfers criticize proposed new rules limiting golf ball distance.

Justin Thomas criticized the USGA and R&A proposal to rollback the golf ball for elite male players, calling it "so bad for the game of golf." The proposal would allow tournament organizers to implement a Model Local Rule that would require players to use modified golf balls to reduce distance at the highest levels of men’s golf. The move would not impact amateur golfers or elite female players. The USGA and R&A anticipate a reduction in driver distance of 14-15 yards.
