Since the Rules Change there has been much discussion concerning flagstick ball deflection.  The majority of our users seem to have dealt with it by allowing the player to pull the pin if they feel deflection is a disadvantage. 

We have been working with a few clubs to develop a wooden flagstick with low ball deflection.  Deflection is a simple matter of flagstick weight and flexibility.  The verdict is not yet in as none of these have been in service for an entire season.   Depending on the wind at your location, we recommend using the shortest possible flagstick.   It further reduces the weight, and reduces the stress on the flagstick.
