Rory McIlroy Driver Non Conforming

Heck, as sketchy as Rory is with partial wedges hitting it longer would be a detriment to his game šŸ˜‚
 
No wonder Rory spent $1k to uber this driver to him for the Arnie tournament
 
The best part is "Rory declined comment"

When more amateurs find out about "creep" it's not going to be good for driver sales. ;)

I'm actually surprised we don't hear more about "creep"...it seems like a logical occurrence with consistent usage but I will admit it doesn't occur to me the same way it does with softball bats.
 
As much as I hate on Rory, Unless someone can show he knowingly used it even though it was non conforming this is a Nothing burger.
 
ā€œBig old nothing-burgerā€

despite him being a ******* clown, that tweet is fairly accurate, which is what most of us on THP have been saying for years
 
There is no way to know if it was coming 3 weeks ago.
Exactly. Could've been legal then or might not have. Unless it was also randomly tested at The Masters also there is no way to know for sure. Anyone have an idea what percentage of drivers undergo random on-site tests and what the fail rate is?

Not enough and the fail rate is low.
 
It's interesting to me because it's the opposite of what a lot of people think. People think that drivers wear out and lose their "spring" over time, but if I understand it correctly they actually get hotter and hotter, right up to the point where they fail.
which is one of the reasons why tour heads with CT values are sought

also there's 2 limits, the legal limit and the legal limit plus tolerance

also random testing is not sufficient, I wouldn't be surprised if most every week are playing something above the lower limit

Nobody is making a driver at the lower limit. They haven't been for years, other than Ping, and even they are catching up slightly.
The lower number at this point is meaningless.

Amateurs don’t hit drivers enough times, enough times in the center, or hard enough to ever hope for creep..

Sir this is the internet.
 
It is funny the Jim Nantz just brought up the driver on the broadcast and Trevor Immelman said several were found non conforming.

If that’s the case and you are only testing 1/3 of the field then it’s safe to assume that a number golfers are probably used by non conforming drivers in the tournament due to the CT creep.

Pretty sure I’ve somehow never hit the exact same spot twice šŸ˜‚

The closest thing to ct creep most amateur golfers are going to see is the guy in your group who says inappropriate things to the beer cart girl then swears she’s into him because she very awkwardly laughs before speeding away as fast as possible.
 
It happened to Xander a few years ago and he went nuclear that everybody should be tested every week. He’s right.

The most likely scenario, is that at one time it was conforming, and creep from use, put it over the top. issue being, we have no idea the last time it was tested, or if it was ever tested.

there are people that believe that the carbon face creep happens quicker. I have no public opinion on that statement.
Do you think some pros have facilities ā€œwork inā€ their batches of driver faces to get them at or just beyond conforming? Similar to ā€œrollingā€ bats in softball/baseball, which is generally frowned upon.

No
 
Random club testing is like random drug testing. Either do it or don’t.
 
I agree, if you’re gonna do it, why not just have the pros check their driver heads in before the practice round.
literally what Xander said a few years ago when he was labeled to cheater for this by a few
