Let's put this in another perspective. Don't you think a shorter flying ball is going to actually give an unfair disadvantage to the top hitting players, you know, they ones people pay to see? I know with a swing speed of only 105 MPH, if I hit a low compression ball I get some really strange ball flights and lose distance. Do you think they can design a ball that will not provide an unfair advantage to the slower swinging players?
What would you think if I said "I have a swing speed of 75 mph and I want to use a Pro-V1x because I see what kind of distance people get with those". You're going to drill me a new one about how I would actually lose distance over a lower compression ball. How does this fit this logic. If they use a ball with a compression rating for someone with a speed of say 110 mph. Are you not limiting the ability of players lower or higher and giving an unfair advantage to a player with a speed of 110mph? I'm interested how you can limit the longer player without actually providing an advantage to inferior golfers. If Bubba, or Tiger or Phil hits a 385 yard drive and it is the only thing that keeps some players in the PGA, and you limit his ability so that he can only hit 285 yard, I'm assuming that in all fairness that someone that only hits the ball 285 yards, will only hit this ball 185 yards? Yeah right. I guess he will be playing 2 to all the par 3's, that would make a wonderful TV atmosphere. No, their going to make a ball that this guy probably still hits 250, or still hits 285 because it is probably the same ball with same compression rating that he currently uses.
Explain how this is fair, or how they are going to make a ball that cuts 80-100 yards off both players drives, and how this will not be rediculous for the fans. Next this commission in Ohio is probably going to say that is the ball manufacturers problem to solve.
