You hit the nail on the head there. You have to expect that if something is based on "science" it will likely never be completely true forever. Science is really just our way to try and explain why things work the way they do, right? Theories are challenged and often are proven wrong, or at least incomplete. Heck, people used to think the earth was flat and at the centre of the universe.
A long time ago I wrote my PhD thesis on ball impacts (unfortunately for tennis, not golf, but you can't have it all). I used what was at the time state of the art high speed video equipment which recorded at around 4000 frames per second (from memory). Colleagues used it for looking at golf ball impacts, which from memory were around 1 millisecond duration. So this gave them maybe 4 frames of video for the total impact. Oh yeah, and it was black & white, and it was really grainy and not great quality due to the amount of light we had to use at such high speeds.
I went back to visit my ex-colleagues a couple of years ago (unfortunately I'm not involved in sports research anymore, although I wish I still was) and they were routinely using over 10000 fps COLOUR cameras, with higher speeds still for particular applications. The videos were amazing - stuff you could never previously have seen, in clear detail.
My point? We I guess just that science forever marches onwards, whether we like it or not. As technology keeps advancing, particularly with regards to high speed imaging and laser measurement, we are likely to learn more and more, but at the expense of the older stuff. If you're not willing to embrace new theory then just make sure you don't stray too close to the edge of the earth
Well there goes my first post. I only came here for help with my golf swing!
