Equipment Protocols

Given the complexity of some of the tests required to evaluate equipment for conformance to the Rules of Golf, the following protocols and procedures are available to manufacturers and other interested parties detailing how certain tests are conducted. This is to help them better understand the measurement techniques so that they can design their products to be within the limits. Additional information and clarification of all equipment specifications, including their interpretation, can be found in A Guide to the Rules on Clubs and Balls (available as a Download).
