Most pros still use blades because they'd rather have workability/versatility/feedback and they don't have issues with contact. I read something recently in one of the golf magazines where someone said the new groove rule will simply make the gap between the top few and the rest of the pros greater because it'll put more emphasis on skill and less on technology.
I guess balls are an area where extra technology is more important to pros. Most amateurs just aren't good enough to take advantage of or feel the difference between a Pro V1 or Z-Star and a Top Flite.

Yeah, you would think it would help weaker players, but I'm a huge believer that the hotter drivers, better golf balls and more consistent shafts are of greater benefit to the better players. The more consistent you swing, the more advantage you can take of the new technology.
