John S Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) I agree with the comment on maxed out center hit technology. The area with potential for MASSIVE improvement is AI applied to shaft development and the tightening of specs so a player can select a shaft for swing speed with a ( for example) 1-10 rated butt, mid and tip spec. Combining AI with swing profiles/ speed and tightening manufacturing specs to produce a defined, measured shaft profiles will be the next area of dramatic driver distance improvement. Your face is maxed out, your shaft has HUGE potential for specialization and improvement. I anticipate a day when you send a video of your swing, some data on swing speed, and you are FIT to a profile that can be produced to exact spec. Right now you test a "labeled" shaft, order it, and receive a shaft in a "RANGE" that may or may not be even remotely similar to the shaft you tested. The manufacturing spec is too broad, the inspection process is almost non existent and yet we order $500 shafts with a label that may be far from accurate. This is the area of greatest potential improvement in my opinion Edited November 26, 2019 by John S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the area of greatest potential improvement in my opinionSwing speed alone should not be used to fit a shaft. My 100mph swing may be completely different from another 100mph swing. Even if shaft specs were consistent within a manufacturer you still need to understand how the shaft loads for your swing. fixyurdivot and vrnyn 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyrooski17 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Anyone know the putter "that no one knows about" they were referring to around 17:30 that was "snuck by" the USGA, and can possibly be found on eBay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll try to remember to ask again when I go tomorrow to do more testing.

Interesting, thanks for checking. That was a very curious discussion, and I'm bummed I can't figure out the putter tech they were talking about.
