Freely swinging the club with two hands is the essence of golf. Leveraging the club against your body, getting down on all fours and shooting it in pool cue style, strapping a long driver to your fore arm all detract from the game. If you want to play like that, no one is going to kick you off the course, but don't expect to be able to compete against people trying to play the game as it was designed. Changing grips does not detract from that fundamental.
And I thought it was mostly old farts who used long putters?

According to them it's exploding among the youth as well. The game as it was designed is comical. The game does not even remotely resemble the game as it was originally. Advances in tech have made courses obsolete. Heck if you want it back to traditional old fella then you would have to be banning a whole lot of things.
The bottom line is there is no scientific reason for changing what has been going on for decades. It just reeks of a bunch of retirees in a back room somewhere longing for the golden days.
