alright, so my general research question/thesis is-
Have the modern technological advances really helped players, or is it just another marketing scheme?
opening-
We've all heard about those fancy weights, those longer graphite shafts, and dinner plate sized driver's, but do all of these aforementioned things really add up to a better game? Can a person really score lower just by switching to the top of the line golf equipment? Some people say that Tiger Woods wouldnt be as great if he had to use persimmon woods, and current Champion's Tour players agree, stating that they get much more distance than they used to, even at such an old age. I will attempt to delve into this golf equipment madness, determining whether one could really "buy a better game".
could people provide links to actual research or tests done, as well as their opinion and testimonies... my teacher would like me to use real life people's data from before and after major equipment changes(not just r7 to titty 905r..
