other large scale usga rulings involve a 1990 lawsuit, and subsequent settlement, against karsten manufacturing, makers of the ping brand, for their use of square, or u-grooves in their immensely popular ping eye2 irons. the usga argued that players who used the eye2 had an unfair advantage in imparting spin on the ball, which helps to stop the ball on the putting greens. the usga utilized john l. saksun, founder of canadian golf company accuform golf, as a consultant to set up methods of measuring the unique grooves and determining ping's compliance with the rulings. saksun, by proposing a cost-effective solution to help ping change the design of subsequent eye2s, saved ping hundreds of millions. ping subsequently withdrew their us$100 million lawsuit against the usga. ping’s older clubs were "grandfathered in" and allowed to remain in play as part of the settlement. however, the usga has begun phasing in a ban on square grooves in golf. manufacturers were required to discontinue noncompliant clubs by january 1, 2011. according to the usga, as january 1, 2010, professional golfers on one of the top tours, or those attempting to qualify for one of the three open championships (since then four) will need to use new conforming wedges (those without square grooves). moreover, those who plan to qualify for any other usga championship (amateur championships -- under 18, amateur, over 25, and over 50 in both sexes, and four-ball, along with international team championships), will need new conforming wedges by 2014. in addition, this regulation includes igf and usga-sanctioned regional amateur events as well, as a "condition of competition". wedges that conform to the new standard are often marketed as "cc" or "condition of competition" wedges; this moniker is likely to fall into disuse as players upgrade clubs and the use of non-conforming irons diminishes.
