The new iron golf shaft, praised by some as a modern invention and seen by others as a direct threat to the character of the game, has been temporarily rejected by the golf authorities. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\">For years, the hickory shaft has symbolized feel, tradition and craftsmanship. Now, a new generation of players and manufacturers is introducing a steel shaft. Supporters say it is stronger, more consistent and less dependent on scarce wood. Opponents fear that the game will lose its natural character.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\">For now, the rule makers are choosing caution. Golf must remain golf, or so the thinking goes. New materials should not change the game before their impact on balance, feel and fairness is fully understood.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\">Yet another view is also emerging. If the iron shaft does not provide an unfair advantage, but is mainly more durable and practical, why should golfers not be allowed to benefit from progress? <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In April 1924, the USGA legalized steel shafts. The R&amp;A followed only in September 1929. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7 wp-block-paragraph\">Rule makers often lag behind developments. The ShaftSaverPro has no influence on ball flight and does not give players an advantage. It is simply a protective item. Its durable nature and the idea of taking good care of your equipment should be reason enough to reconsider the rules.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-2-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\">Forbidden today. Perhaps the new standard tomorrow. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story dominated golf news in 1914. The golf world is in turmoil.
