In that way, I think the new equipment could help a guy who is a 18 handicap more than it would help a pro. The pros are almost always hitting the ball square in the center of the club face any way. It's the 18 handicaps that are hitting the ball off the toe and that type of thing.

Even with the new technology, the guy is still an 18 handicap, so it isn't helping his game a lick. I know of very few people that used to be a 25 handicap and now are an 18 because of equipment. And I don't know and 10 handicappers that used to be 18-20 handicappers before changing equipment. Until 18 handicappers start spending 80-85% of their practice time chipping and putting, they will remain 18 handicaps for life, I don't care how great the technology is.
