According to Golf World, the USGA and R and A will be adopting the proposed adjustability rule, which would take effect on Jan. 1, 2008. There will be no change to the current rule stating that club head changes cannot be made during a round of golf, and no further information was available on exactly what clubhead changes will be permitted.
Although the new rule isn't explicit, ideas and samples for clubhead adjustability will be permitted for submission prior to the Jan 1., 2008 effective date. Golf World states that, "...there is some confusion as to what might be acceptable. In their correspondences with manufacturers, both the R and A and USGA stress that advance notice is a crucial first step, and that manufacturers need not wait until Jan. 1 to begin submitting samples or ideas for adjustable clubheads."
This being stated, we should look to see more and more advancements in the already burgeoning adjustable driver market.
