Titleist Drivers Are The Very Best Drivers On The Professional Golf Tour.

So how far are you able to hit a golf ball? With the advances made in the design of golf equipment and the high tech materials being used, golf balls are travelling enormous distances. The typical driving distance on the PGA tour is a staggering 290.9 yards. That is the average! Two decades ago that may well have been the longest drive of the year. So why is the ball going a lot farther?

The golf clubs industry is a multi billion industry. As manufacturers turn out new models each year, it seems that every brand will tell you that their driver hits the ball further and straighter compared to the driver of their opposition. Companies spend millions if not billions every year on research and development, to make certain that their marquee driver has the right sound, look and feel. It obviously has to perform when it comes to distance and accuracy too. As these businesses stay on the cutting edge of golf equipment advancement, the game has gradually changed.

The only real attempted restraint on this exponential growth of equipment continues to be restrictions put on manufacturers through the two largest golf governing bodies, The R&A and USGA. The USGA, or United States Golf Association is a governing body that oversees golf in both North and South America. The R&A, whichis short for Royal and Ancient Club, oversees the rest of the world, although the Japanese tour has its own regulations. The R&Ais located in St. Andrews Scotland, and also oversees the european tour,as well as the British Open Golf tournament.

Both of these governing bodies work very closely together to oversee golf around the world. As golf has become a global sport, professional golfers seem to play on a different continent every month. It would not make sense to have players play under different rules from one week to the next. And so it happens that when the USGA changes rules or implements brand new ones, the R&A follow suit, and viceversa. They have been instrumental in limiting certain facets of equipment design.

The top size of Drivers have now been limited to 460 Cubic centimetres. When examining a modern day driver when compared with one made 15 years ago, it's astonishing to see how much bigger they are now. I for one am very glad they have limited the size, as anything bigger would fundamentally alter the sport. Can you imagine a 1000cc Driver? It might be the size of a tennis racket!

So what driver have you got in your bag? Have you got one of the latest Titleist Drivers or TaylorMade Drivers? Are you taking advantage of the most recent technology? Because the models vary from year to year, I am saddened to say that it's possible to buy yourself a better game. So if you do not have hours to waste on the driving range, fork out a few dollars and get yourself the most recent driver that will make your Saturday fourball extremely jealous.
