Dean Knuth (pronounced Ka-nooth), a former Senior Director at the United States Golf Association (1981-1997) and the primary inventor of the USGA Course Rating and Slope System, has invented a new high performance driver. After leaving the USGA, Knuth developed a driver based on the principle that the greatest loss of kinetic energy at impact between a golf ball and a driver is the result of heat generated during the deformation (flattening) of the ball.
