USGA
NON-CONFORMING DRIVING CLUBS LIST
The United
States Golf Association has compiled a list of driving clubs
that do not conform with its test adopted in October of 1998
measuring spring-like effect. Thus, these clubs are prohibited
from use in golf competitions in the United States and Mexico
conducted under USGA Rules.
This
list has been provided to all pertinent professional tours.
It will be maintained and updated each Monday on a weekly
basis for public examination on the USGA web site until further
notice.
The clubs
are listed in alphabetical order by manufacturer. In using
this list, please pay close attention to the "Identification
Markings" column. This column details the exact markings on
the sole, toe, and/or heel (if any) of each club listed. You
can view an image of the club sole markings by clicking on
the "View Photo" link in the table. When multiple lofts are
listed for a product name, only one loft will be shown in
the image.
The USGA
has examined more than 1,000 golf clubs to determine compliance
with its spring-like effect standard.
Questions
about this list may be directed to the USGA Technical Department
at (908) 234-2300.
