THE USGA had made it a split vote, when it comes to conforming the new Wilson Driver Triton.

Based on a release today from the USGA, here is what has happened to this point. This statement released via USGA Director of Public Relations Janeen Dirscoll.

“The Wilson Staff Triton DVD with 9 Degrees of loft is listed on the conforming driver heads list. All other submissions of the Triton clubs were determined to be non-conforming to the Rules of Golf.”

The statement from the USGA continued to say, We have deferred all other questions about the drivers directly to Wilson, as our Equipment Testing Procedures that we’ve provided to all manufacturers states that details of individual submissions will not generally be published. They remain confidential between the submitter and the USGA. We’re sticking to our policy.

Golfers on Golf has submitted 5 questions to the USGA regarding the testing process, after the USGA offered to assist in that process. Three of our questions were sent back to us, and we told those questions would have to be answered by Wilson Golf.

Wilson Golf has released a statement that Golfers on Golf will break down and provide in an upcoming post shortly. Stay clicked in.
