its mostly the balls that have changed golf more than the clubs.
most though not all equipment changes are in the mind rather than real.
do you really think the newer players with artificial shafts play better than players of old because of the newer cue equipment. i think its mostly the cloth has changed and we all have air conditioning.
I have to agree with you.
If you have a stroke and know how to play position you can play with any shaft.
