Former champion Nick Faldo has asked governing bodies to limit club speed and to consider a ten-club maximum.
Several active pros argued the speed cap cannot work in practice.
The suggestion has sparked debate on GolfWRX forums, where users debate whether a club limit could slow distance growth.
Rory McIlroy noted he backs Faldo’s idea, describing it a novel tool for rule‑makers.
The discussion underscores tension between preserving tradition and confronting longer drives on modern courses.
Industry officials have yet responded.
The proposal could alter how equipment is regulated if adopted.
