Nice article, good thinking in my opinion.

Graphite shafts should be banned. Go back to steel. Also for the substantial environmental impact. Steel only heads, no carbon, no non-bio degradable equipment. Put the environment first.

Add groove requirements to all "metal woods", to increase spin and variation for off centre strikes.

I've been playing 35 years, I now hit further and straighter and come from 12 to 2 handicap. Without the knowledge and equipment we have today I would be worse, because physically I'm a wreck, no way can I move like I did in youth. So technology & equipment is definitely playing a huge part.

Agree to an extent, but at a time when we want to reduce the time required to play a round, having the ball go exponentially further offline will likely lead to longer days on the course
