Miniature Golf??

This strikes me as a load of C®@P.

As part of the reestablishment of the Wilson Staff line celebrating the company's 90th anniversary, it has introduced driver heads, balls and shafts with molecular nanotechnology - the same nanotechnology the U.S. Department of Defense and NASA have been researching and developing for use in their military and aerospace products.

"It's the biggest news in golf you can't see," said Wilson territory manager John White. "We've been working on it for 2½ years and we're the first equipment company to use it. It's going to allow us to make titanium obsolete, or at least give it a run for its money."

The process involves controlling individual molecule-building reactions to form complex molecular structures. Nanotechnology bonds materials together and eliminates microscopic separations, theoretically making the product lighter, stronger and more stable while transferring energy efficiently.

The technology is present in two Wilson Staff drivers, fairway wood heads, the core of three ball designs, and the bottom third of graphite shafts in Wilson Staff drivers, fairway woods and irons.

Maybe
George Mannes was right.
