The world changed when the new trampoline drivers came out and then again when Titleist introduced the ProV1 (if I remember the proper sequence). If you ever read any of Frank Hannigan's stuff, he is pretty direct at who is to blame. Here is a letter he wrote

As far the OP question? The anchor rule will not harm my game. I have owned many a putter in my time, including two belly putters. What I found was that when I was going through the dreaded 'yips', the belly putter would help for a short time, but eventually my brain would case me to miss again

If they ever rule out 'swing oil' then I would be in trouble!
