Those are hideous! I vote: “None of the above”!!!

They take the numbers from my actual fitting with a LM and from there compare to fitting data from other balls in the category they’ve collected from people with similar swing speeds, launch numbers, etc. The balls themselves, their composition of characteristics, are the differentiator.

Here are categories of info that Ballnamic provides that probably aren’t noticeable even to a pro. Anyway, might be worth the investment for some to see how balls differ based-on fitting numbers, results.

Ping’s Ballnamic opened my eyes to the performance differences among similar balls, so even though a TP5X, a Pro V1X and a Srixon Z Star XV fall into similar categories, there are differences between them performance-wise for each specific golfer. Spin out of the rough, off driver, into and around greens, flier probability, length off irons and wedges, etc. Lots of differences.

The newest AVX is turning out to be legit for me. It was the ball that Ping Ballnamic suggested based-on my fitting numbers from my visit to Ping HQ and so far I’m absolutely loving it!!!

I need to be at the course an hour ahead so I can pay, wet a towel, load the cart, and then head to the range and putting green. This year I’m putting first, then hitting balls since I want to head to the first tee having practiced that shot right before I tee off. It takes me awhile to get loose, I even stretch and roll at home before I leave the house.

I never knew it had AR!!! Ugh, I’ve been using the app for years now, dang!!!

Congratulations!!!!! Woo hoo!!!! Gonna be a fun one for sure!!!!

I’ve moved to Kirkland as well, finding them new on eBay for pretty cheap. Yeah, I’ll watch this test to see how well they do with sweat durability too.

My only issue with gloves is the cost… I’m not paying $15-$20 a glove when I go through 10-15 of them in a season due to the extreme heat and humidity producing a ton of sweat. I just can’t see spending $300 a year on gloves. I’ll watch Red Rooster for 1/2 off sales!!!

I only know of ones that do logos for bags and usually there’s a minimum number for an order, like for a golf team. Worth a call to their customer service departments to ask.

Glad I was able to join today! Always cool to see the real names, see faces, and chat some about everything.

I’ll be over there a couple days next week and could play Wednesday if anyone is available. Let me know!

I’m just happy that Cobra and MGS got this one going EARLY in the year giving ample time to get everything delivered, corrected, and teed-off!!! Should be lots of fun!!!

Been on the Cobra site a number of times looking at how I’d build my bag and it’s fun to build, erase, build, erase, etc. Will take a few more times to figure out what it would look like

Using one’s power for evil… Young Jedi, don’t go to the dark side!!! Look at what happened to young Anakin!!!

We didn’t have tracking methods! I remember I drove a 390 yard par 4 once, in Hilton Head. Group ahead had hit their second shot so we teed-off. We couldn’t find my ball anywhere. Went to the group ahead and asked if they’d seen it. Guy takes my ball out of his pocket and tosses it to me. “It was about 10 feet from the pin. We thought someone left it there.” Slazenger ball, Golfsmith steel-head driver, X100 steel shaft. I hit it a long way back then, steel shafts and heads too! Crazy. In college I drove a 320 yard par 4 with a 3 wood. It was downhill about 15 feet of elevation drop. I actually dented the face of that driver from impact in the same spot. Steel!

Looks like I’ll wait for the Senior Tour…

Wait, now we have a 37 year old hitting 345! Yeahhhh, we need an age multiplier, especially when that dude shot 69!!!!!! @Golfspy_TCB let’s get on it!!!

Thanks! I’m going to petition for a “multiplier” going forward for age range!!!! At 54, I need like a +20 yard multiplier for everything over 300!!!!

Your drive was legit, mine was on a very nice, hard/flat fairway here in the Mississippi Delta! If I played anywhere with ANY undulation and irrigation it would’ve been 290!!!

New G430 Max! I play so rarely, and we all know who has been gobbling-up the long drives each week and it isn’t me! Still one more day for me to get beat!!! By-the-way, anyone know where a guy can get a new lower portion for his back???

Date 04/15/2023 Course Name Frenchman’s Bend Gross Score 79 Course Handicap 5 Gross Strokes over/under par 7 Net Score to Par 2 Net Score 74 Net Birdies or better 2 Longest Drive 334 First round with the new Ping clubs… G430 Max the way it’s built is an absolute beast, so straight, and long! Played with AVX and really liked it, so Ballnamic made a great recommendation!

Congratulations!!!!

All three new Ping clubs have finally arrived! G430 Max driver, G425 3w, and G425 3 hybrid!!! Now if it will dry out so I can go HIT them I’d really appreciate it!!!!
