I'm surprised you said that technology has helped the better players more than the weaker ones. I would think it would be the opposite. Most new technologies in golf nowadays are geared towards added forgiveness, higher MOI, etc. which obviously benefit the weaker players who have more trouble hitting the ball cleanly. Most pros still use blades because they'd rather have workability/versatility/feedback and they don't have issues with contact. I read something recently in one of the golf magazines where someone said the new groove rule will simply make the gap between the top few and the rest of the pros greater because it'll put more emphasis on skill and less on technology.

I guess balls are an area where extra technology is more important to pros. Most amateurs just aren't good enough to take advantage of or feel the difference between a Pro V1 or Z-Star and a Top Flite.
