Carbite Sell Banned Driver in US

Carbite Golf have started to sell their G-3 Daiwa driver in the United States even though the club has been outlawed by the US Golf Association.

The USGA have decided that the 'spring-like effect' in the clubhead exceeds the current guidelines and it has been placed on the non-conforming list along with Callaway's ERC driver.

Carbite purchased the rights to market the Japanese company's clubs in the United States last year and consumers will be able to buy the driver through golf retailers or though the website, www.carbitegolf.com for $899 (£600).

Mike Spacciapolli, Carbite's vice chairman, said: "Golf is supposed to be fun. There are a lot of golfers like me who play golf to have fun and would like to hit the ball farther."
