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