Newish Golfer..

[Ext User(Kb)]

Hey all,
Just discovered this thing called golf and having a ball, except my 50 year
ole back is complaining a bit LOL

Anyway I purchased a new driver and it has "450" stamped on the bottom and
now my mate is trying to tell me it is illegal but he can't tell me what
"450" means and why it is illegal...

Is he just pulling my leg or is he just jealous cause I have a driver whos
head is twice as big as his LOL

Yhanks

'450' is probably an indication of intended head volume, although I
wouldn't take that for granted...it could just be a marketing ploy. The
maximum allowable volume is actually 460cc, (450 plus 10 cc tolerance).

This limit is only relevant if you wish to play competition golf under
formal R &A rules. (typical club golf for example).
