I can assure you as a high spin driver guy that used to slice very often, no ball change is gonna matter.
Right I don’t expect it to fix the problem but will Avx being too soft increase the problem and lose distance or is left dash being firmer the better optin

The driver is my struggle club, I like the spin on irons and wedges. Short game is what keeps me alive. High back spin on driver with a slice

So I’m in need of help figuring out what ball to play. I have always liked the AVX and when I did the phone / virtual fitting through titliest they said AVX was the right ball, however was in a golf shop talking to the sales guy and he said with a 105+ swing speed that the AVX is too soft of a ball for me. I have played the left dash one round (best round ever) but was given a sleeve by a buddy so could be an outlier as only lasted a round and half. Anyone have any advice?

Devices like trackman and GCQuad are very accurate. Considerations are:
- The device isnt setup properly. There are specific settings and distances that are necessary to get accurate results
- people often struggle to swing indoors….i am assuming indoors since you are using RCT balls.
- Your ground conditions on the course could be extremely different that the ground settings on the trackman.
- ideally you should look at carry distance since actual ground conditions are hard to mimic (wet, dry, firm, Lon grass, short grass, elevation changes, etc.)
- all balls have different aerodynamics and unless they see the full ball flight (outdoors) there will be some calculations.
The specific settings? Any thing I should be looking at? The trackman rep came in and said we had the right distances to screen, hitting spot etc.

Curious to know how the spin affects trackman distances. I have a steep AoA which creates a lot of backspin and am using the RCT balls. I struggle to hit the driver 210 or more on the TM but on course (using Arccos) I am usually a 250ish yard drive. Is there some setting I am missing with the trackman or does it over penalize for the high spin rates? This is also consistent across all clubs, usually have to hit a club or 2 clubs stronger for TM distances vs what I would real life.

I'm not totally familiar with the Arccos score card. As long as it has all 18 holes, what par is on each hole and the handicap/stroke index for each hole, it should work.
It doesn’t look like it has the hole handicap. Maybe SwingU? It does show hole handicap

@KC Golf, not to worry. Any representation of the scorecard will work. I'm sure that Golf Canada has a similar scorecard that you could use as a web capture.
One question? Do we have to make a stroke conversion moving Canadian scores to the US (like the currency)? Just wondering!
So will Arccos scorecard work?

Per Titleist website iron spin low to high is: AvX, left dash, v1, v1x.
you can look at the MGS 2021 ball test and see or wait until the 2023 test comes out in a week or so.
That’s what I thought and why I was confused when he brought that up and said left dash was high spin

I did the titliest virtual consultation and had been playing the left dash, the Titliest rep said that is not a low spin ball and recommended the AVX and regular ProV1. So is left dash really low sp

Has anyone played The Jewel course on Mackinac island? Headed that way in August and thinking of playing but wondering if worth the price tag?

Where do you line up the ball relative to your front foot? I wonder if it it could be as simple as adjusting the alignment? For example, I can generate a much higher launch by putting the ball directly in front of my foot and a much flatter shot by putting the ball just outside by foot.
Just inside of the front

Congratulations to the those chosen. I use the free version and am interested in hearing what the pro version can really do for me.

Steep doesn’t tell us much. Are you 3 degrees steep or 10 degrees steep? Are you out to in and steep or in to out and steep? Low face increases spin. Was the spin in italic; if so that means it was calculated and not measured.
Outside in, which I’m working on with one of those speed gates. I’d say more to the 7-8 degrees steep. The ball just just flies high even with 7.5 loft

Do you have the swing numbers from the trackman? Would be interesting to see the actual AoA, loft at impact, where you are striking the ball, etc. a DTL and face on video of your swing would also help those who could provide swing advice, really need to identify why the swing is so steep to be able to give you recommendations on what to change.
I do not have all of them, I just remember the 7k and AoA was steep. If I have time I can go hit again and try to get them

Being steep will be part, but where were you making contact? Heel and low strikes also cause a jump in spin. As well as a cutting across the Ball.
Best thing truly would be a lesson. I'm sure there are YouTube videos to help and get you at least started.
Usually lower in the face is where the impact mark is.

So I have a 110+ mph swing speed but my attack angle is very steep and I put roughly 7000 RPM backspin with a driver. (I know that sounds crazy the guy at Dicks had me try both their TrackMan swing bays because he thought the first one was broken). He estimated I’m losing 30-50 yards due to the height and lack of roll.
So my question is what have you all tried and succeeded with to flatten out the driver swing.

Years ago I did shortened the driver shaft and I got more accuracy and a little more distance as I was hitting the sweet spot a much more. Went back to the normal length, not sure why.

Ouch that’s just tough to see!

Have to say it’s mostly overall positive. Pops and I got paired with 2 singles last night to make 4. The two guys were great guys and fun to play with. On the other end I’ve been a single and been paired up with 3 and it’s been a good experience. Only had 1 bad experience with a single joining us. Guy was an absolute jerk
AVX vs Left Dash

I got the same results but when I asked about left dash/dot he said they don’t fit for those. I liked the low spin/trajectory of AVX,
