Conforming Drivers - Appendix II, 4c of the 2008 edition of the Rules of Golf states that:

"The design, material and/or construction of, or any treatment to, the clubhead (which includes the face) must not … have the effect of a spring which exceeds the limit set forth in the Pendulum Test Protocol on file with the R&A"

This is a new Rule which applies to all golfers of all ability and in all forms of play. To help provide correct information on driver head conformance, the R&A have published 2 Lists which you can use. Follow this link to check conformance
