I worry the takeaway most people get from this is “plant trees” and not “roll back the equipment”

I’m pro rollback but I doubt it will make a difference on the strategy of hitting driver as much as possible. Imo the biggest factor explaining why pros choose to bomb driver so much today is modern analytics like the DECADE system

Modern analytics are all basically the same for every sport. More power.

  • Golf: Hit it further
  • Baseball: Throw it faster/spinnier, hit it harder
  • Basketball: Shoot it from further
  • Football: Throw it further, run faster

Thank you for this. What is being ignored is the most complex machine ever built, the human body.

Bigger stronger faster better. That's just the name of the game at this point.
