The criticism I generally here is that players would torque their knees or something along those lines. After I was done with my round, I watched the top 6 or 7 seven cards today throw their fairway drives on hole 5 at the USDGC. Roughly 80% of these throws would be legal under that proposal. Thus a number of pros at the top level are already doing this.

That's an intriguing option to pure "stand and deliver". Doesn't seem like it would be terribly hard on knees, not even my old fragile ones.
