    Current pro can use persimmon clubs and hit it pretty much the same as they do with modern clubs. (The new clubs help greatly with off centre/mis hits though)

    Give them an old ball and its a different story.



    Taking your argument that its down to individual ability, whats the problem with both players having to use a ball that is, say, 10% shorter than the current ball? All your points still stand, A still hits it further than B, the difference is the actual distance the ball travels.

    300 -> 270
    250 -> 225
    So the difference in ball traveled distance is now 45yards instead of being 50.
    Player A still has the same length advantage over player B, it just means the course now has some defence.
    Are you talking about a persimmon driver head with a modern technology shaft or a persimmon driver with its original shaft.The modern shaft is was actually increased club speed at impact
