Non Conforming Drivers - 2008

1 January 2008 will be the date that many golfers are dreading.

This is the date when all non conforming Driver heads will be banned from competitive play. It is vital therefore, when playing in any golf competition that you know for certain that your Driver head is legal otherwise you will be disqualified from any prize should you be fortunate to have played well.

Many golfers will be loath to swap their favourite Driver if found to be illegal, for a legal model, as they will be venturing into the unknown. Confidence in their Driver is so important to every golfer and buying a new one can take some time to adjust to. Particularly as the head shape of the new can be quite different from the old. Another consideration with the new Driver will be “does the shaft suit”? Until having played a few rounds of golf with it, one really doesn’t know if the new golf club will work.

However all is not lost as the shaft from the old Driver will not be illegal, just the head. So if the new club does not perform to your standard get your Professional or Club maker to extract the old shaft from the illegal head and have it fitted into the new head. That should ensure a happy marriage of components and allow you to play golf to your highest level with legal equipment.
