Innovation or Novelty? Only time will tell...
Don't know how I missed this last week, but The Sand Trap's Jack Waddell took readers down memory lane with a post on past innovations that left a lasting mark on the game.
Particularly interesting was the Dave Pelz original three-ball putter that was introduced in 1984 but didn't see the light of day until 2002 when Odyssey licensed the idea from Pelz and figured out how to produce a conforming version.
Also, check out TaylorMade's aptly named "Pittsburgh Persimmon" driver that was introduced in 1979.
TST's Bag Drop continues to be BogeyMan's all-time favorite blog feature. Nice work Jack, Erik, and company.
