Mickelson is among five players who have used the Ping wedge in competition this year.
Several players believe using the club goes against the spirit of the new grooves regulation, although Scott McCarron fueled the debate when he said of Mickelson and others, “It’s cheating.”

Another aspect is a simpler golf swing with less moving parts. The conventional golf swing has been labeled complex and subsequently difficult to repeat.discountgolfdrivers.net, Stack and Tilt – The Golf Swing of the Future
