What is Characteristic Time and Why Should You Care?

Some of the most asked questions to THP as of late have been about Characteristic Time, or CT. How is it measured? What makes it different than COR (which the USGA used previously)? And honestly, why should you care? Rather than give you a long explanation on the subject, here is equipment and manufacturing expert Michael Vrska to explain what it is, how it is measured and more.

Now with an understanding of why it is used and how it is measured by the governing bodies, do you think it matters to you? Should drivers list their CT or would that be something that is overkill since there is much more to actual distance and performance than Characteristic Time?
