Won my first tournament with these balls this weekend! Had 2 penalty tee shots that I can truly say I didn’t follow the pre shot routine of the mindset balls. All the others were full commitment to the shot and play. One drive was 350 yards on a par 5 that converted to a missed eagle putt and made the tap in birdie. They are playing extremely well and the mindset is amazing as well as the alignment tool. I’ll still test the my gamer with similar mindset graphics, but if I continue shooting lower scores, I may just switch.

I’ve been having a lot of success with finding more fairways using the Bridgestone. My shot scope data thus far backs that up, with a lot less penalties taken. While I don’t love the ball, I will be doing some experimenting with this using my normal Prov1. I’ll draw something similar to the green and red circles on the ball. I do think this ball is giving more purpose for tee shots especially.

Shot my best round in a year! Before I get into it, I have been working on the game diligently for the season. I am having alignment issues as well and seemed to fix something over the last week or two. The ball: This ball was great and showed up as a premium ball with one major drawback. I choose the spiny XS version for more green side control, similar to what I could get in my Titleist ball. However, compared to mishits on a proV or tp5, the distance lost on the Bridgestone is considerable. The ball gets outrageously spiny on off centered strikes which knocks me down around 10 to 20 yards. It gets confusing walking up to my normal spot that I play from but 10 yards or more shorter. Off centered strikes don’t go this much shorter on other premium balls I play. Everything else stacks up well compared to other premium balls. May scoop up the X version to see how it compares to the XS after testing. I also played with one ball the entire round so perhaps it was that particular ball. The mindset: Like I said before, I have been working on alignment and it’s finally clicking on the course as I got the balls in my hand, so I’ll have to test more with and without the mindset golf balls. This was my best score in a year. With a lot of swing changes and short game clicking. But I will credit the mindset tech for two simple changes. Aiming the ball down the fairway made me focus more on the object in the fairway longer. Gave me purpose before I even took a rehearsal swing. I have about 10% penalty shots during tee shots so this is a huge plus The alignment still felt too far left for me but it came down to trust in the swing and line that I’ve built. Now stepping up to the ball, going through my head post feels is “you have a green light to hit the ball.” I did hit more fairways than usual and the ones that missed were very close. I only played out of the trees once or twice from poor tee shots. Excited for more testing if this is what it brings me. My partner asked “what’s the point of the circles?…couldn’t you draw that yourself?” “Yes of course, but would you?” If the results from the test (albeit one round of golf) yield to 10-30 yards lost on driver but a 13 handicapper shooting 77, does it matter? I’ve been working harder on playing golf and not swinging club. So the mindset is a huge plus for me. More tests to follow.

Haven’t gotten my balls yet so I’m doing my best to watch Day today at the masters to see his whole process. The hardest thing is the commitment for every single shot. But excited to get it rolling!

Hello everyone. My name is Riley and I’ve been selected to test the new mindset balls! I’m a big mindset and meditation guy so I’m be excited to take this into the bag and see how I perform with it. I’ve been playing golf for about 3 years now and getting into tournament play this year. So I’ve been more motivated to compete and push my limits in golf. I consider myself as an athlete who’s taken part of a lot of different competitions and hoping this ball can help me settle in the golf game a bit more. I have a lot of issues right now off the tee and course management so this will be the perfect ball for me to use and give you guys real committed feedback. I am currently using the ProV1X. With more of an emphasis in green side spin for my wedge shots. The spin for driver doesn’t matter as much to me as feeling a spiny wedge shot.

I love cold baths and cold showers. recently did some cold 40 below plunge contrast with 110 plunge. Never felt more alive
