Pretty much. Diminishing returns. The loss of distance at the new calculation will be of 14-15 yards at the highest swing speeds (around 127mph)Do we know for that sure? If a pro will hit it 300 yards instead of 330, then that's 91%. 91% of a 220 yard drive is 200 yards.
An amateur will not generate those speeds (unless they are tour level...and there aren't many of them around). Hell, even the vast majority of pros now do not have a clubhead speed of 127mph..however, it's about future proofing the game in 10/20/30 years, as people will find a way to swing it that quickly.
