People have been developing the golf ball and clubs for many years. In the last 100 years, however, science has played an increasing role in golf club development, with a strong influence coming from research into new metals, synthetic materials, and composites. Other developments worth noting:

• The introduction of the casting method of manufacturing club heads in 1963.
• The introduction of graphite for use in shafts in 1973.
• The manufacture of metal woods in 1979 (first undertaken by TaylorMade). This last creation rendered persimmon woods obsolete, although a small number are still crafted.

The application of titanium to club heads raised the bar in technological development just a few years ago. Lighter than previous materials yet stronger than steel, titanium allows club makers to create larger club heads with bigger sweet spots that push the legal limit of 470 cubic centimeters. Such clubs provide high-handicap golfers a huge margin for error - there’s nothing quite like the feel of a miss-hit ball traveling 200 yards! But it’s golf balls flying in excess of 300 yards that raise suspicions that these new clubs are making the ball too “excitable”.
