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