DeChambeau Calls Dropping From Knee Height "A Bit Absurd"
“I'm using it to my advantage, best I can,” he said of the new Rule.
However, one Rule that the Golfing Scientist isn't too happy about is the new dropping procedure which states golfers must now drop from knee height.
That has been changed from the traditional 'shoulder height'.
“That you have to drop it from knee height is a bit absurd, unfortunately,” he said.
“I think that you should be able to go from knee height to shoulder height.
"There should be no issue with that, whatever you want to do, honestly. There's a lot of questions about that.”
