The USGA and R&A have released findings from a joint study that indicate distance growth off the tee has been relatively steady since 2003.The study examined data from seven professional tours, creating a sample size of approximately 285,000 drives per year. Of the seven tours, five have seen average driving distance increase by approximately 1.2 percent (0.2 yards per year), while the other two tours studied decreased by about 1.5 percent.The study also found that the 10 shortest players on both the PGA Tour and European Tour are approximately 6 percent shorter than average, while the 10 longest players are 7 percent longer than average - similar spreads to those measured in 2003."In the interests of good governance and transparency, it is important that we continue to provide reliable data and facts about driving distance in golf," said R&A chief executive Martin Slumbers. "Driving distance remains a topic of discussion within the game and the review provides accurate data to help inform the debate."While the study found minimal growth within the specified time frame, driving distance has appeared to be on the rise in recent years. A total of 27 players averaged 300 yards or more off the tee on the PGA Tour last season, a benchmark that only nine players reached during the 2003 season.The study also addressed launch conditions, finding that stats like clubhead speed, launch angle, ball speed and back spin have been "relatively stable" since 2007.
Since making a club faster off the middle is becoming more and more difficult thanks to the limits set forth but the USGA, OEMs are changing the way we think about clubs and putting a greater focus on decreasing dispersion and optimizing misses.

Report: 2016 Golf Equipment Sales - MyGolfSpy
Last month the USGA and R&A published a report that found that distance gains among seven professional tours had been negligible since 2003. Despite those findings, Davis pointed to the fact that many golf courses are being perpetually lengthened and that a variable-distance ball could help a course reduce its footprint and cut maintenance costs.
Spotted: PXG 0811XF Driver - GolfWRX
Bought new Ping irons in 2014 - I plan to be buried with them. I'm using a 2001 Callaway Steelhead driver (small head) - about twice a year I go to Golf Galaxy and try the latest and greatest - I bring in my driver and tell them I need to see serious distance gains for me to buy. Last year the gain was 1-yard with Callaway's latest.

USGA, R&A Study: Distance Gains Negligible Since 2003
Yesterday, I went on the Hank Haney & Michael Breed show to talk Kirkland (vs) Titleist Pro V1. (This happened really fast. I got a call that yesterday Haney was discrediting our test on the radio. I listened and confirmed that was in fact the case and I reached out to try and explain our
This is the main table in the chapter, on which the title is based. It (Table 31:8) compares a 50% reduction in long approach shot errors (completely unrealistic given the 14% above) with "doubling the accuracy of putting" (also completely unrealistic) with hitting drives 20 yards further and having them all finish in the fairway (also completely unrealistic).
