The Royal Canadian Golf Association (RCGA) followed the lead of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and has compiled a list of driving clubs that do not conform with its test adopted in October of 1998 measuring spring-like / "trampoline" effect of the driver face. These clubs are prohibited from use in golf competitions in Canada conducted under RCGA Rules.

This list has been provided to all pertinent professional tours and will be maintained and updated on a regular basis for public examination on the RCGA web site.

The clubs are listed in alphabetical order by manufacturer. In using this list, please pay close attention to the "Identification Markings" column. This column details the exact markings (if any) on the sole, toe, and/or heel of each club listed.

The USGA has examined more than 900 golf clubs to determine compliance with its "trampoline" / spring-like effect standard. Questions about this list may be directed to the USGA Technical Department at (908)-234-2300.
